Peace in the storm...


Back at work, early in the morning. Have my coffee ready and my drawing pulled up on the computer. Working on a project in Port Arthur, TX right now, and that store sure needs a lot of help. Hopefully we can give it the makeover it deserves...


Easter is coming up, and the church choir is practicing full swing. I think it is going to be awesome, and I am looking forward to seeing it. Sean has seen it already since he is taking care of lighting this year. He says it is awesome, so it must be, right?


We have taught our dog to sit in the dining room and wait when we get him his dinner. He sits, and he waits, and he sits, and he waits...and then we say "Varsågod" (which means "go ahead" in Swedish), and then he jumps up and heads over to his bowl. He is such a good boy.


When you have the Holy Spirit in your life he will produce peace in your heart. To have peace in the middle of the storm...the world is amazed when they see a Christian who is flowing with peace in the middle of a personal crisis. "Her life is falling apart, but she is not. How is that possible?"


The peace of the Holy Spirit will calm our soul. It can be crazy around us, but on the inside we have assurance that God has already saved us from sin and death. Would he save us from this world just to turn around and abandon us in it ? Certainly not!


The spirit filled Christian is full of peace because he/she knows perfect love casts out all fear. (1 John 4:18) Ask God for peace in the middle of your storms.


When you live in truth you are free. The bible says truth will set you free from fear. Lie will bind you and depress you and fill you with fear. Truth in your life gives you peace.


Gods love casts out all fear. When our hearts are right before God we can come before His throne boldly every day, and sit in his presence under the shadow of his wings. If you need me, that's where you can find me.


Have a wonderfully blessed day!
