Oprah Winfrey: “It doesn’t matter how far you might rise. At some point, you are bound to stumble…. If you’re constantly pushing yourself higher…the law of averages, not to mention the Myth of Icarus, predicts that you will at some point fall. And when you do, I want you to know this, remember this: There is no such thing as failure. Failure is just life trying to move us in another direction.” When you hear someone whisper in your ear, stop for a moment and think, “Does this encourage me and provide hope for my life, or does it seek to destroy my life?” Remember, Satan is a great deceiver and will try to make his plan seem like it is the best idea you ever heard. You have to really take the time to pray and seek God’s wisdom. He will reveal the truth, if you take the time to seek His face. Today I whispered in the devil’s ear, ‘I am a child of God, a woman of faith, a warrior of Christ. I am the storm.’” It’s apparent that Jesus’ disciples could not withstand the storm that night. It’s also apparent that they tried and failed to the point that they could no longer try any more. Their only course of action was to ask Jesus to intervene. They asked this carpenter’s son what to do on the open sea. They asked a Rabbi what they should do when their ship was breaking up. They asked because they had run out of fight.

I teamed up with Dustin Christensen – one of Nashville’s premier songwriters. We wrote the song in August of 2018. Then in early September, I was about to travel to Nashville to record a new CD which would include this song. Literally two days before I was about to hop on an airplane, Heavenly Father whispered, “I need you to change the song.” People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.”: Elisabeth Kübler-Ross I’d bet that at least one of these fellas was thinking, “What? Faith? We don’t need faith; we need to not drown tonight!” A strong sense of confidence in one’s own abilities serves us well whenever we embark on a new adventure.

The idea for the song “I Am the Storm” came from my late friend Kris Belcher. She sent me this quote: If something is important enough, even if the odds are against you, you should still do it.” -Elon Musk In Matthew 4:1-11, Jesus also had Satan whisper in His ear, but because of His close, personal relationship with the Father, He withstood the lies. Satan tempted Him three times and every time, Jesus used the Word of God against him. After the third temptation, Satan knew he could not beat Jesus, so … the devil left Him, and behold, angels came and ministered to Him. I often hear from new graduates that it’s better to wait until you have more experience…. But I’m a big believer in the power of inexperience…. The world needs you before you stop asking naive questions and while you have the time to understand the true nature of the complex problems we face and take them on.” -Wendy Kopp, founder of Teach for AmericaConfidence is when you believe in yourself and your abilities, arrogance is when you think you are better than others and act accordingly.”: Stewart Stafford Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something and that this thing, at whatever cost, must be attained.”: Marie Curie Successful people often exude confidence – it’s obvious that they believe in themselves and what they’re doing. It isn’t their success that makes them confident, however. The confidence was there first.”: Travis Bradberry The one thing you have to remember is Satan has a plan for your life, just as God has a plan. The Apostle Peter warned us: Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. That is Satan’s plan for your life—destruction. The meaning of the quote I am the storm is imply that when someone has belief in themselves, they are capable of facing up to the biggest enemy or the biggest challenge.
