How do we survive the storms of life? We have all been faced with situations that seemed overwhelming. We have experienced hurts that are so deep we don’t know how to get past them. Even just the everyday stress of life can wear us down until we want to give up. The storms in our lives come in all sizes and shapes. Some are gentle like a spring rain and others are as harsh as a hurricane. Where do we go? What do we do?

We can take comfort that God is in control. God may not always deliver us from the storms of life, but He is always faithful to be with us as we go through them. That alone should give us hope.

This book will walk you through how to allow God to meet you in the middle of your storm. He can handle your tears, your fears, and your anger. He can heal your heart and show you that there is “Hope in the Midst of the Storm.”

What are you passionate about? What gets you excited? When you get up in the morning, what can't you wait to do? Who can't you wait to see? Who do you long to spend time with? Who do you seek when you need advice? Who or what can't you live without? What inspires you? Have you discovered God's calling on your life? What's the most important thing in your life?

Are you satisfied with your passion for God? Are you satisfied in that relationship? Or, are you seeking more? How do you love God more? How do you seek Him above anything else? How do serve Him better?

This book will attempt to answer those questions. So, won't you join me in "Passionately Pursuing Jesus"?

We all face difficulties in our lives. The battle is real. However, our circumstances should not define who we are or how we react. Rather, as believers, our behavior in every situation should honor Jesus and our identity should always be based on the salvation He has provided us.

Carol takes you through her own experience of battling to save her marriage to finally accepting the fact that it was over. She shares her efforts to trust God through this journey. With transparency and honesty, she talks about her struggles with things like anger, forgiveness, and loneliness. You will get a look inside her walk with the Lord and some of the prayers she prayed. She talks about the hope that is available to anyone who is experiencing a difficult time in life. No matter what life brings, you can refuse to be a victim and choose to be a victor in Jesus.

Is God speaking to us? Is it possible to hear His voice? How does God speak? How are we to listen?

Yes - God is speaking. The question is are you listening? Communication is foundational to our relationship with Jesus. As we learn to hear His voice, we will deepen our relationship with Him.The Bible is filled with accounts of God speaking in a variety of ways. God has communicated using angels, prophets, dreams, visions, miracles, and even through a donkey.

The Bible is clear that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. So it is logical to believe that He still communicates with us in multiple ways. So whether it’s through the Bible, through circumstances, or even through a whisper,we need to be listening for His voice. I pray that as you proceed through each chapter, you will begin to: • Cultivate a deeper connection with your Savior.• Learn the value of listening• Gain a better understanding of how to recognize God’s voice.• Better understand the role of the Holy Spirit.• Grow in your relationship with the Lord by developing consistent time with Him. God is speaking. Are you listening?
