Hi friends and internet family!!
When thunder and lightning happen, cats, dogs, squirrels like to be in a small, safe , enclosure. Inside animals will hide under beds, outside they are appreciative of a box or little house to hide in. People are no different it seems.
1. Do storms frighten you or make you cautious?
They can, yes and they do make me cautious for sure.
2. What is the worst weather you can remember?
I have been through a 4/5 tornado as a child in Massachusets that took over 100 lives. Hurricane Sandy was pretty darn awful damaging billions in property and taking lives and the Perfect Storm of 1991 was awful doing so much damage. My yard was 4 feet deep with water from the bay and rain.
3.Are you in a personal storm right now and do you need our prayers to help you through it? I think many bloggers are prayer warriors indeed.
Yes, my spine is bad and I have a nodule on my thyroid that must have a biopsy. I have lost 3 inches in height from my spinr going from 5'6" in 2012 to 5'3" last week. At least now my legs match my height.. I have very short legs that match length with the Famous Anonymous who is 5'2". The Little towers over me now ..she is nearly 5'6".
4. What is the best advice you can give to others about weathering storms of any kind.
Always put God first in your mind and heart. Job said, "though he slay me, yet will I trust Him"
and this is what is the best course of action. You are not promised a rose garden, we got kicked out of there remember? And this world will never be okay again. God's kingdom is not of this world.
We are strangers here belowand but like Avraham we look to a kingdom not of this world.
Rabbi Avigdor Miller of blessed memory said that this is the vestibule where we await going into the banquet. That is where life really begins.
God should always be first in our minds and hearts, Annie, Praying for all those beautiful people in Jamaica who are facing a catastrophe with Hurricane Melissa. We must trust God at every turn and believe in His saving grace. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteIt would definitely scare me to be in a tornado or hurricane. So many natural disasters in the world causing great destruction. I'm sorry to hear of your spinal and thyroid issues and will pray for you Annie. God will help you through it as I know you already know. It is quite something to lose 3 inches in height. As I've gotten older I've actually gained a few inches in height. I was always 5 ft. 3/4 inches and grew to 5 ft. 4 inches a few years ago. I may have shrunk a bit since then but haven't been measured for a few years. Hang in there Annie. God bless xx
ReplyDeleteSorry, I meant I was 5 ft. 1 and 3/4 inches and get to 5 ft. 4 inches.
DeleteInteresting post...
ReplyDeleteIntercessory prayer is powerful for all concerned...thank you for the opportunity .
I am 5 feet but may be shorter since I have osteoporosis. I hope all goes well with your thyroid test. I think of this verse. "My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever." Ps 73:26 Our physical body may fail us, but our spiritual soul is strong because of Him.
ReplyDeleteWonderful advice in #4, and yes, we will be praying for you as you have that nodule checked/biopsied. The thyroid can cause a lot of different kinds of issues when it is malfunctioning, but thankfully there are a lot of options for treatment of the thyroid. Praying for the best outcome. This was a great meme for this week. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThese days we must trust God for everything! I love Psalm 91 with it's promise of protection. Praying for your back issues. You've dealt with that for a long time.
ReplyDeletePraying for your spine and thyroid nodule. I absolutely trust in my Creator. Loved your answers! Have a great week.

Praying for good things for your body. It is hard when our physical bodies want to work against us. Tornados and hurricanes would certainly be scary.
