The power to break chains

Praise Him in the storm

Lately I've been going through some situations that look hopeless and I've spent day after day praying, I even fasted. I decreed and declared, knowing that I know these requests line up with God's will, which is the Word of God. I was delivered from demonic strongholds which held me captive because of willful sin in my life.Still, I felt like nothing was changing. I was crying out to God, "what am I missing?" Finally I got my answer, I was snared by the words of my mouth. I was confessing defeat, instead of giving praise for the breakthrough and blessings He wants to give me. I wasn't waiting for Him, He was waiting for me. A perfect example is in 2 Chronicles 20, The Lord told His people this battle is not yours, it is the Lord's, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord with you . All of Judah began to praise and worship God, when they did this, it released God's presence and power. God is so infinitely wise while Judah trusted and praised He sent confusion and fear among their enemies, until they utterly and completely destroyed each other, not one was left standing. In order for Him to fight our battles we have to get out of our own way and trust and obey, even when our natural mind can't conveive how things could possibly change. Limiting beliefs of what He can or will do, how it'll be done, and in what timeframe we prefer will keep us from living the victorious life He wants to give us. If we get off the throne and let him be Lord in our life He'll do it such a way that the enemies we see today, we will never see again!!!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
