greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world 1 John 4:4

Together let us BEAST the STORM with LOVE!

I know. I know. It is HARDER said than done. BUT HARD does NOT mean that you and I can not do it! I have repeated that mantra to me and my kids for 26 years now. In His name I have been in prayer for the people of Florida. For my friends in Florida, for those in the path of the storm. 

I have been in prayer for:

Those in the eye of the storm at this very moment. 

Those battling the storm.....

THOSE... this MOMENT....

THOSE hiding under a mess of blankets,
in a dark room, giving in to loneliness.
and depression.
THOSE declaring upon themselves to have failed. At something.
THOSE addicted to cocaine or alcohol. Sleeping restlessly on a  cold and dirty mattress.
THOSE grieving a loved one who just sweetly passed away.
THOSE in constant debilitating pain. Alone, needing a glass of water and someone to hold their hand.

Hear my cry, O God;

Attend to my prayer.

2 

From the end of the earth I will cry to You,

When my heart is overwhelmed;

Lead me to the rock that is higher than I. 

Psalm 61: 1-2

OUR REFUGE is in HIM!
Yes. The eye of the storm at this very moment. As I lay awake every hour, in pain (my norm), the Lord has literally awakening me each hour with this particular hurricane, IRMA,  pending and now happening. This supposedly monster or BEAST. Every hour, every night, for the past 5 nights, the Lord woke me, the Holy Spirit led me in prayer, for the HURTING. He does that for me. 
I am honored.
OUR REFUGE is in HIM!
YES, I pray and continue to pray for those in the path of the storm. The IRMA. 
OR the other BEAST's. The media loves to play the doom music. 

I DECLARE:

Let's play the VICTORY MUSIC! 

Let's PLAY the music of SURVIVAL with LOVE! We might not be able to STOP the storm, 

BUT let's SHARE the GOOD moments! The MIRACLES! The MIGHTY stories! 

Let's CREATE the LOVING MOMENTS! 

In HIS NAME! 

With GOD, All things are possible! 

Together let us BEAST the STORM in LOVE!

Be it the IRMA'S or the personal STORMS... 

The STORMS that are all over the media. 
OR the STORMS in the small corners of our homes tucked in small towns that are daily that will never make it on social media. PRAISE GOD to that! Huh :)

My alone time with the Lord often includes some sort of visual media. You know, crayons, inks, pens, paper, tea bag, soil from the nearby plan, yes, soil. Anything nearby that fits the feeling and prosthetic of the feeling and meaning I am attempting to portray in my art. Side note I've been known to include jello, spaghetti sauce and blood into my drawings. GO VanGogh!
OUR REFUGE is in HIM!

I am in prayer for you! 

Reach out to one another in LOVE!

Together let us BEAST the STORM with LOVE!

Psalm 46

God the Refuge of His People and 

Conqueror of the Nations

To the Chief Musician.

God is our refuge and strength,

A very present help in trouble.

 

Therefore we will not fear,

Even though the earth be removed,

And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;

 

Though its waters roar and be troubled,

Though the mountains shake with its swelling. Selah

There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God,

The holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High.

 

God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved;

God shall help her, just at the break of dawn.

 

The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved;

He uttered His voice, the earth melted.

The Lord of hosts is with us;

The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah

Come, behold the works of the Lord,

Who has made desolations in the earth.

 

He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;

He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two;

He burns the chariot in the fire.

Be still, and know that I am God;

I will be exalted among the nations,

I will be exalted in the earth!

The Lord of hosts is with us;

The God of Jacob is our refuge.
