I’d bet that at least one of these fellas was thinking, “What? Faith? We don’t need faith; we need to not drown tonight!” I believe God intervened so the song could be as powerful as possible. I’m not such a great songwriter on my own, but when heaven steps in, the music rises to heights I could never have attained. What about the times when the storm rages against you and you fling your fists in the air and make no headway?

Confidence comes from hours and days and weeks and years of constant work and dedication.”: Robert Staubach When Jesus was with his disciples, he made his nature and character clear to them on several occasions, and even though they didn’t always understand what he was saying, Jesus was patient with them as they learned. One such event occurred while on a boat with his disciples. The boat was about to be lost in a violent storm, but Jesus had another motive altogether. Doubt can motivate you, so don’t be afraid of it. Confidence and doubt are at two ends of the scale, and you need both. They balance each other out.”: Barbra Streisand Jesus got up out of bed and spoke to the storm like he knew it. He told it to be still, and it did. Jesus expended more energy getting out of his bed, than he did eliminating the very thing these fishermen couldn’t withstand.It’s apparent that Jesus’ disciples could not withstand the storm that night. It’s also apparent that they tried and failed to the point that they could no longer try any more. Their only course of action was to ask Jesus to intervene. They asked this carpenter’s son what to do on the open sea. They asked a Rabbi what they should do when their ship was breaking up. They asked because they had run out of fight. Jesus didn’t call his disciples because of their experience in withstanding storms, and Jesus didn’t ask them to withstand the storm. He asked them to have faith in the fact that He, and only He, could overcome the world. The devil whispered in my ear, ‘you are not strong enough to withstand the storm’. Today, I whispered in the devil’s ear, ‘I am the storm’.” This quote can also be perceived as a sense of unconditional positive regard about oneself which is something that always serves people well no matter where they are going or what they do. I am the Storm: Poems

God gave Jeremiah the prophet His plan for us: For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart (Jeremiah 29:11-13). God promises a future for us. He gives us hope through Jesus Christ. Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.”: Lao Tzu The same is true for you and me. I don’t have to carry the weight of my church, or even my youth group on my shoulders, because I can’t even carry the weight of my own sin. He said, “She is dying, and doing everything to live. You are living and doing everything to die.” While my unsaved friend was fighting to save her life, I was caught in a web of deception. I was in a battle with anorexia, headed for the grave, but I did not even know it. I was so busy listening to the lies Satan was whispering in my ear, I no longer knew the truth. But on this day, God got my attention, and I knew I had not been hearing from Him—everything I thought I knew was all a lie.The idea for the song “I Am the Storm” came from my late friend Kris Belcher. She sent me this quote:

I teamed up with Dustin Christensen – one of Nashville’s premier songwriters. We wrote the song in August of 2018. Then in early September, I was about to travel to Nashville to record a new CD which would include this song. Literally two days before I was about to hop on an airplane, Heavenly Father whispered, “I need you to change the song.” I often hear from new graduates that it’s better to wait until you have more experience…. But I’m a big believer in the power of inexperience…. The world needs you before you stop asking naive questions and while you have the time to understand the true nature of the complex problems we face and take them on.” -Wendy Kopp, founder of Teach for America A strong sense of confidence in one’s own abilities serves us well whenever we embark on a new adventure. Today I whispered in the devil’s ear, ‘I am a child of God, a woman of faith, a warrior of Christ. I am the storm.’”Why is it that we are so willing to allow Satan to deceive us into believing we are less than what we have been created to be? https://www.tiktok.com/embed/v2/7042969091484830981 https://www.tiktok.com/embed/v2/7042607257552473390 https://www.tiktok.com/embed/v2/7042747851696311558 https://www.tiktok.com/embed/v2/7043841608940408069 https://www.tiktok.com/embed/v2/7043509796045311279 https://www.tiktok.com/embed/v2/7043531555154955566
