She Stood in the Storm - sold

'She Stood in the Storm'  sold
7" x 10" watercolor

"She stood in the storm, and when the wind did not blow her away, she adjusted her sails." Elizabeth Edwards

Sometimes I feel like this. Alone on a cliff top just waiting for one more gust of wind to push me over the edge. That's when I pray, and then help comes, and I can adjust my sails and carry on.

"Sometimes God calms the storm. Sometimes He lets the storm rage and calms His child."

He is there for us. Always. So. . . Rage on storm. Rage on.
