Welcome to Fern's Homestead!

When the winds blow fiercely and you begin to feel overwhelmed, I want to encourage you to take a deep breath and remember that Abba is still in control. Thank You Father!! Instead of fretting over your circumstances you need to hand your worries and problems over to Father for He is always faithful to handle any situation.

In Jeremiah chapter 33, verses 2 and 3 we read,
"Thus says ADONAI the maker,ADONAI who formed the universe so as to keep directing it......ADONAI is His Name: 'Call out to me, and I will answer you and tell you great things, hidden things of which you are unaware.'" (CJB)

There is great wisdom in the Word and so much Father wants to show you beloved. I want to encourage you to read with the expectation that HaShem will speak to your heart.

THROUGH THE STORMS

I did not know His love before,
the way I know it now.
I could not see my need for Him,
my pride would not allow.

I had it all, without a care,
the "Self-sufficient" lie.
My path was smooth, my sea was still,
not a cloud was in my sky.

I thought I knew His love for me,
I thought I'd seen His grace,
I thought I did not need to grow,
I thought I'd found my place.

But then the way grew rough and dark,
the storm clouds quickly rolled;
The waves began to rock my ship,
my anchor would not hold.

The ship that I had built myself
was made of foolish pride.
It fell apart and left me bare,
with nowhere else to hide.

I had no strength or faith to face
the trials that lay ahead,
And so I simply prayed to Him
and bowed my weary head.

His loving arms enveloped me,
and then He helped me stand.
He said, "You still must face this storm,
but I will hold your hand."

So through the dark and lonely night
He guided me through pain.
I could not see the light of day
or when the storm might wane.

Yet through the aches and endless tears,
my faith began to grow.
I could not see it at the time,
but my light began to glow.

I saw Abba's love in brand new light,
His grace and mercy, too.
For only when all self was gone
could Yeshua's love shine through.

It was not easy in the storm,
I sometimes wondered, "Why?"
At times I thought, "I can't go on."
I'd hurt, and doubt, and cry.

But Yeshua never left my side,
He guided me each day.
Through pain and strife,
through fire and flood,
He helped me all the way.

And now I see as never before
how great His love can be.
How in my weakness He is strong,
how Yeshua cares for me!

He worked it all out for my good,
although the way was rough.
He only sent what I could bear,
and then He cried, "Enough!"

He raised His hand and said, "Be still!"
He made the storm clouds cease.
He opened up the gates of joy
and flooded me with peace.

I saw His face now clearer still,
I felt His presence strong,
I found anew His faithfulness,
He never did me wrong.

Now I know more storms will come,
but only for my good,
For pain and tears have helped me grow
as naught else ever could.

I still have so much more to learn
as Yeshua works in me;
If in the storm I'll love Him more,
that's where I want to be!
