The Storm Has Lifted

It is Winter Wonderland in New Jersey and schools are closed. Roads are covered with slush, snow, sleet and ice.

And then, this afternoon, as I look outside, I see the sun striving to shine again! What a big difference from last night onto this morning when everything was so cloudy and dark! I had to drop off my son to work this morning and travelling up the hill on Bradford Ave. is not quite that pleasant during the storm.

This reminded me of my trials and my storms. I can see past through my circumstances and trials because I know God will lift up my storm. God has lifted the storm and I'm reminded of the Hope that I have in Him. For God so loved our world that He gave His One and only Son, so we can have eternal life!

Remembering the acronyms BAC and ARF has helped me cope with the most difficult times in my life. I am Blessed, Adopted and Chosen. I am Accepted, Redeemed and Forgiven and of course, on top of it all, I am Loved. So, when Satan tries to have a battle with my mind, I resort to these acronyms and immediately he flees!
