    This song is SO TIMELY for my family and I! My 13 year old sister has cancer, and Sunday I had gotten a call from my parents asking to gather all of my siblings to come and say our goodbyes… We prayed, we asked for a miracle, and here we are 5 days later and my sister has made a MIRACULOUS recovery and doctors are in AWE!

    I am currently going through ovarian cancer treatment. My surgeons removed 27 tumors. Again, going through. Two chemotherapy treatments down, four more to go. When I was diagnosed the Holy Spirit said "This is for your good and His Glory." This message blessed me. God reminded me of the many times He brought me through storms. There's more to my story. I shall live and not die. Cheryl-Fort Mill SC.

    Suit up, let’s go! Sometimes it’s like the Lord says: I’ve got a another lesson for you, suit up, let’s go! Trust it. Y’all I’m telling you. When it happens to you please just know you’ve been called to walk the plank for a little bit. Remember that Jesus is on that plank with you every single day, the whole way. You will look back and see it was a precious time indeed!
    Then we must use our experience to help others.
    One breath at a time. One day at a time. One foot in front of the other. Keep going.

When I wake up I just keep hearing the spirit say. Just think of all the things I have done for you and I glo back to sleep. Well yesterday morning. I told the Lord in prayer. I said God if you wake me up again early I'm going to get up and ask you to speak. I got up and this man of God was talking about your storm has a purpose. I don't know about Apple watching but I do know my God is watching. Thank you so much to allow God to use you.yes 3am morning worship is Great!°

    Please be in prayer as there are plenty of little storms and I foresee more. But I know God is More than Able to keep and sustain me through them all. Side note to this message and the sign… Don’t Give Up the Ship… one other song God has embedded in me is Build a Boat by Colton Dixon. Cannot deny that word. Take care!
