Book Cover & Preview Text
I am angry Lord, I am angry at you. You said you would never leave me or forsake me. You said you wanted me to be happy and prosper. Are you really there ? Do you really exsist ? Why won't you answer my prayers ? As the warm tears ran from my swollen eyes, I screamed these words to heaven above, and before they finished leaving my lips my heart was heavy with sorrow and remorse. I was ashamed that I had let Satan cause me to doubt and to weaken my faith.
I had just recently lost my husband of twenty five years, we were best friends and soulmates.
We had been through so much , but together with God we had weathered the storms. Now I was facing them alone or was I ?

About the Book
Weathering the Storms is based on my prayer journals and follows my family through our darkest times. I want to express my pain, my doubts, my anger at God, and all of the emotions that grief brings, because I feel it may help someone else going through a crisis. People told me that my strength and my faith inspired them, especially the younger people, so I want to share my experience to help others know the real emotions I was feeling and how God brought me through it all. I believe that you are only as strong as your faith, and even with the strongest of faith Satan can weaken you when you are vulnerable.
If you had told me two years ago that Satan could shake my faith the way he has very recently, I would have said you are crazy. Weathering the Storms is for those who are saved and know that they are, I hope to show that even we can have moments of weakness and lash out at God—He understands what you are going through. But it is still wonderful to know that even when we disappoint him, he is always ready to forgive.
If you are lost and don't know the God that I know, let me share my faith with you and show you where to find hope and joy again. Being a Christian doesn't mean we won't go through storms—it means we don't go through them alone.
