Anyone can hold the helm when the sea is calm.
Publilius Syrus

Storms are an inevitable part of life. We do not like facing the storms, but they have a way of testing and refining us. As I write this post, a category 4 hurricane is barreling toward our coastline. We must be prepared for the worst, but we’re praying for the best.

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change and though the mountains slip into the heart of the sea; though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains quake at its swelling pride. (Psalm 46:1-3)
