Gentle Readers,
My deepest apologies for being away like I have, but had some things come up that kept me away from the computer and wow…what a busy Labor day weekend has been promised, just as I get back on my feet…a hurricane!
With the current news about Hurricane Gustav, I just wanted to ask everyone to keep the Gulf States in your prayers and thoughts…

Isaiah 43:2″When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched, Nor will the flame burn you.
For myself and my family…we are in the “cone of uncertainty” as well and just placing our faith and prayers in God’s hand that no matter what the next few days will bring any of us, that He is and will deliver all through it.
Like many others are probrably doing, we are watching the television and making the appropriate decisions as the updated news come in.
If you can take the time this Labor Day weekend, please keep in your prayers, all who are going to be affected by this phenomenal storm that is churning at this moment out there.
Due to the uncertainty of what Gustav is going to do, first and foremost, keep close to heart that God IS good in all things.
Romans 8:28-And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
Hurricanes, tornadoes, they are a natural part of creation and a natural part of God’s creation and we are reminded of such in Colossians 1:16-17:
For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.”
It’s just amazing how big Gustav has grown and before time was given to publish this post, it’s a category 5, but no reason to fear for God is in control and just a matter of taking special precautions in this time, listening to the radio and television and making the best decisions and just remembering to say a prayer for all who are in the path and are keeping an eye on this storm.
As for “Sunday Praise and Worship”, I’m going to skip “Sunday Praise and Worship” unless someone wouldn’t mind taking over the reigns for this week.
Heavenly Father, I pray that you watch over the many whose lives will be affected either directly or indirectly by this storm that is churning out there. You are an awesome Father who promises that no matter how rough the storm, how high the waters, You will and always will have conquered the storm that looms in any part of our lives and have seen the deliverance You promise to all who call upon You.
Lord, I pray You guide the hands and decisions of the many officials who spend each minute and hour, making decisions to the best of their abilities to guide the people of their city, town, and county to safety and I pray Lord, that in this time of uncertainty that You help the many who are faced with making difficult decisions.
Even in the midst of this storm or any storms that come in our life, Lord, use this and remind us, that You are always there and are there to help us weather through any storm that comes through our lives, be it expected or unexpected.
Gentle Readers,
For those who maybe in the path of this hurricane or may not know yet, my prayers are with you, that our Heavenly Father keeps you safe, strong and secure in His comforting arms. May He guide your ways and in all things that happens, be a testament to His Glory and love.

@Denise: God Bless You dear Sister and praying that no matter what happens with Gustav, that through all this, always, a testament to our Heavenly Father will shine through…
Praying that all whose lives may (and praying not be) touched by this hurricane will remember first and foremost that God has not and will not abandon them and has conquered and will deliver them.

Blessings ….Twinkle Mom…Standing in prayer but it last looked like landfall
has been pushed back until Tuesday. Has that changed? Anyways, what a blessing you are to post your prayer and a Word from the Lord…to bring comfort and Glory to the One who can calm the storm! Don’t know where you are but may God protect and keep you safe!
My anti-spam word was HOPE! And we know our HOPE is in Jesus Christ! I’ll miss Praise and Worship but you deserve a break…and it’s a good time to BE STILL & KNOW that HE IS…
Peggys last blog post..HE IS….
