Book Description Praise Dancing In The Rain In The Midst Of My Lifes Storm, (Little Things Makes A Big Difference) is intended to be an easy and gentle read, yet strongly effective. To you that read my book, I resign my liberty and I tell you my secrets. I will share with you the little things in my life that made a big difference. I am sharing my secrets with you and it is my sincere hope that you will tell someone. There have always been a certain feeling of power attached to the keeping of my secrets along with reciprocal bonds between my secrecy and emotions. Keeping my secrets made me an individual and now telling my secrets voluntarily forges a link with others and helps me become a better person. What you are about to read are secrets that I have jotted down in a journal, on sticky note or just carried around in my heart and head. My secret speaks of my hopes, dreams, love, gratitude and great passion for life. I share the stories of my lifes storms, my abilities over my disabilities, victory over defeat, advantages over disadvantages, and my desire to live a well live life over an unlived death. I am truly grateful and blessed from all the small things that made the big difference in my life. It is the experiences and learned lessons from the small things that I have learned how to praise dance in the rain until I can soar above my lifes storms. The little things are enormously significant. Each time I experience something I write it down in my journal and I ask myself two questions; What have I learned from it, and how can I use what I have learned to immediately improve my life? The content of this book is also the result of a quickening, energy and desire that translated from my heart through my head and now into this book. It offers inspiration, as well as spiritual, emotional and personal empowerment. It speaks of daily occurrences in my life, real life situations with others, humor and scriptures. This book imparts a message that Life is full of ups and downs, trail and tribulations, and challenges and struggles, which are called the storms of life. These storms presents opportunities, new levels of growth, new possibilities, wisdom, inner strength as well as an invitation for lips and heart to sing, arms to be spread as wings for soaring and feet to dance a graceful dance throughout the storm with the part of life that is stronger than the problem being faced. Every storm has a season and can be a result of Gods divine will as well as his permissive will. The storms in our lives provides the environment in which God reveals himself and where He wants us to learn to trust Him by taking Him at His Word. God does not always send the storm; however he will allows us to go through them for growth. He wants us to dance in the rain and soar above our storms as eagles. The Bible declares in Isaiah 40:31: But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.(KJV). The eagle has long been a symbol of strength, power and majesty, they face storms fearlessly. They are of the few birds that do not fear or attempt to escape the storm. They simply use the storm to lift them higher, they adjust their wings feathers for maximum altitude and they are able to fly high above the storm. The eagles eyes are protected by a clear membrane that protects their vision, which allows them to see clearly as they fly at high speed and when they are in a storm. That is exactly what God wants our experiences in the storm to be. God wants us to learn to face storms with vision instead of emotion. He wants us to keep a clear vision and maintain the right perspective in our storms by letting our problems and challenges cause us to rise higher and higher. God wants us to envision victory over our storms. Eagles are constantly cleaning their feathers, pulling out any that are ruffled or damage

So often we allow our worship to be dictated by our circumstances. The truth is, our worship should be dictated by who God is. Sometimes our lives take different turns than what we had planned. Our dreams get shattered, our plans get altered, and life looks nothing like what we had hoped it would. We find ourselves surrounded by the darkness of despair. It’s in these moments where we learn how to worship. In, A Dance In the Dark, Stacy takes you on a journey to the heart of worship through her compelling story of her personal struggles with infertility. She learned that worship happened when she chose to honor God in the midst of her pain. Hidden beneath these lowest places, these darkest valleys, are His treasures awaiting to be found. Hidden beneath the rubble and ashes in our lives we find the greatest treasure of all -- His heart. The question is, how do we uncover these treasures? How do we find Him in the midst of it all? How do we uncover His heart in the worst of times? We uncover them through our worship. We uncover them when we dance. Are YOU ready to dance?

Everyone has some kind of fear. “Fear not, Do not be afraid” is probably the single most difficult command in the bible. We may not have killed, robbed or committed adultery, but we all are certainly guilty of this one command. No wonder then, there is so much on the internet that says that the phrase ‘FEAR NOT’ or ‘DO NOT BE AFRAID’ appears 366 times in the Bible, because it is believed that God knew that this was our weakest area that the devil would attack. So these 366 times is like giving us a reminder every day, including one for a leap year too. But if you really take count, there are actually more than 366 “Fear not’s” or related terms in the Bible! Thank God for this, because we need to be reminded to trust God not just every day, but every moment of the day- as it is Him that runs the universe and our lives- not us! Worry is the result of fear ... lots of fear! Fear about loss, fear about security, fear about safety, fear about tomorrow- People are worried about losing a loved one, losing a job, sicknesses, diseases or viruses, neighbours, insects, fear of making a presentation in public…Well the list could go on! Fear is one of Satan’s most popular weapons that he uses against us, filling us with worry, anxiety, fear, torment and so forth. However, the Word of God in 2 Timothy 1.7 tells us very clearly “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind”. John 10.10 further tells us that the enemy, the devil is that thief who only comes to steal, kill and destroy…and he does it in that order, first starting with your peace and ultimately ending to destroy you! That is what he is doing right now to the entire world. Worry has never changed anything. It is worthless. If you think worrying about the viruses in the air, will save you from it or worrying about your kids will make them safer- it is only a false form of control. It has no effect. Worriers are always going back and forth over an issue they are worried about- one minute they decide one thing and something else the next! Worry is like a rocking chair-it only tosses you back and forth. You can’t change the past, you can’t control the future, and in the process you will only mess up today. In James 1:8 we read that “A double minded man is unstable in all his ways...” Worry is focusing on me and my fears – and not God. It’s like telling God, let me do your work of being in control! Over 2000 years ago, on a Resurrection Sunday Morning, these same words ‘Do not be afraid’ were uttered to the 3 women who came to the tomb of Jesus (Matthew 28:10) God knew that the death of Jesus and their future could evoke fear of what is to come. The angel sent by God invites them to COME and SEE the place where He had been laid. To come and see for themselves that He was there, but is NOW no longer there. They are then instructed to GO and TELL the disciples. They can’t linger long there or keep this incredible news to themselves: ‘Jesus WAS crucified, but He IS Risen!’ They must go and tell others. And in the going, they are told they will SEE HIM, just as He promised. The tomb may have looked empty…but it was full of hope, potential, possibility and new beginnings. The empty tomb wasn’t the end of a story, but a new beginning. It was a new beginning for the 3 women. It was a new beginning for the disciples. It was a new beginning for the kingdom of God. And it IS a new beginning for you and me- for all of us! As the song so beautifully says: Because He lives, I can face tomorrow, Because He lives, all fear is gone, Because I know He holds the future, And life is worth the living, just because He lives! This little Book: ‘Building Faith over Fear! Face Everything And Rise with JESUS!’ is to help you do just that by providing you the right biblical ways of handling fear and enabling you Rise with Jesus!

Does it feel like your world has been turned upside down and no one knows how you feel or can relate to what you’re going through? Winter Hall found herself in such a dark moment after the death of her father, who had walked her down the aisle a year earlier, holding her up while her legs shook with nervous energy. She had always been a daddy’s girl. She turned to the one she has always been able to count on: the Lord. In these inspirational reflections, she shares the lessons and encouragement she has received while seeking God during turbulent times. She asks readers to consider questions such as: • At what points in your life were you able to identify God’s plan falling into place? • How can you overcome moments of soul-wrenching pain? • Are you failing to identify moments that reveal the goodness of God? Whether you’re suffering from the loss of a loved one, battling an illness, or simply going through a challenging time, you’ll find strength and comfort in this book. Her hope and prayer is that you are able to connect with and get encouragement from the stories in this devotional and as you seek God, you find him in your dark moments too. Living for God isn’t easy, but it’s definitely worth it. The biggest life lesson the author shares is that it’s not about your hurt, your pain, your joy, or your wants. It’s about God.
