I will praise you in this storm

I don't care what anyones beliefs are but I stand firm by mine. I am a born and raised free Methodist. Basically we believe EVERYTHING in the Bible. God, Jesus, the whole shebang. I haven't been the best Christian in the world for the past few years but my faith has never faltered. I have always believed and nothing is going to change that. I am not here to preach, simply to give thanks.

Last night while we were in bed I prayed, I mean REALLY prayed, for the first time in a long time. It gave me a sense of relief and I haven't cried one time today. I was talking to a good friend and while we were talking I realized that it's nice to know there is someone out there that will love you unconditionally, no matter what you say or think. Someone that ALWAYS listens to you and will comfort you if you let them.

So, in my prayer last night I thanked Him for blessing me with Ryan. I thanked Him for all of the wonderful and positive people I have in my life and I asked Him for comfort in my time of need. I apologized for not talking to Him for so long and I told Him I love Him and as He already knows, my feelings about Him have never changed. He is my Father. I will NEVER be too proud to tell anyone that.

No matter which way you believe I just want you to know one thing. Even if God isn't that person for you, there will ALWAYS be that person out there that you can talk to when you need to. And if for some reason you can't find that person, look no further. I have a great set of eyes and ears and I will always be here.

Yes it is and thanks so much for letting me know how you felt about it. I'm glad to have touched someone in some way. I have found myself being much more humble and faithful lately. I feel like the only thing that will really get me through deployment is that faith. It's amazing what prayer can do if you really believe in it :)

Wow, that's all I can say. Everything you said struck something in me, something that I haven't been doing enough of lately either. And I need to get back to that. I have to remember that no matter what, He is always there, guiding me and supporting me. I just recently found and started following your blog and I am so glad I did! Thank you! And congratulations on getting married, that's so exciting! :)

Thank you so much Nicole. Reading the comments so far on this blog have touched me so much. It brings tears to my eyes to know that some of my followers either feel the same way I do or have been touched by what I said. Your comment really gave me goosebumps. Just knowing I could have made someone realize they weren't praying enough or reminding them that he is always there, just brings an immense amount of relief, peace and joy into my soul. Thank you so much.

Just HOPPIN by, If don't stand for something you will fall for everything. Whenever we are in the presence of God it gives us such peace. It seem like you needed to release somethings to God and that is always good.

By the way, Im #255 on the Blog Hop, nice to meet you.
