Throwback Blog #3...

In case you are just tuning in to my blog #1....WELCOME! Lol...and #2...sometimes I like to look thru my old blogs on myspace and post 1 on here...it's a great way to see where I was then...and compare that to where I am now.

This entry is from May 2, 2007...

"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have recieved from God."

-2 Corinthians 1:3-4

I chose that scripture to open up my blog because it decribes a lot of what I have been going through lately...what most would like to call a "personal storm".
For those who don't know what that is, my definition of it is below:

Personal Storm: A set or group of trials and tribulations that one must go through to strengthen themselves and/or their relationship with God.

Now that we all know what it means, I shall continue...

Over the past couple of weeks, my faith in God has been tested greatly. I feel like I've been shoved around, kicked around, and knocked down...but through it all, I have managed to get up and perservere. But it hasn't been easy...I've got the battle scars to prove it. But the scripture above has really helped me put my storm into perspective and has helped me stay strong...with the help of a few friends of course:). The scripture tells me for one, that even though I feel alone...I'm not, for God is with me providing comfort. So whenever I'm knocked down, God is there to help me get up and he even puts band-aids on my cuts:). So even though I'm hurting, HE will always be there to give me a hug and tell me I'm ok. But that's not all...the scripture also tells me that I am going through what I'm going through so that when someone else goes through it, I'll be there to help them along the way. So it's kind of like a chain reaction of comfort and support....

Before I end this blog, I just wanna thank my friends{you kno who you are}, who have been there for me through this very trying time in my life, and lastly, I wanna thank GOD for my storm...even though it isn't over yet I KNOW I WILL survive it, and come away from it better than I was.

God is good all the time...All the time...

GOD. IS. GOOD.


...still pretty true today...even more so.


Be Blessed!
