Splendid Sunday

Praise You In This Storm
I was sure by now

God you would have reached down

and wiped our tears away,

stepped in and saved the day.

But once again,

I say amen

that it's still raining

as the thunder rolls

I barely hear your whisper through the rain,

I'm with you

and as your mercy falls

I raise my hands and praise

the God who gives and takes away.

Chorus:

And I'll praise you in this storm

and I will lift my hands

that you are who you are

no matter where I am

and every tear I've cried

you hold in your hand

you never left my side

and though my heart is torn

I will praise you in this storm

My all time favorite song is Praise You in This Storm by Casting Crowns. So much so that when I my new phone came with a free ring tone I looked up the above song to see if they happen to have it and they did. YAHOO! I have been moved by several songs before. Depends on the situation where I am at physically and emotionally. But this song can bring tears to my eyes no matter the circumstances. I can be in the best mood singing The Wheels on the Bus Go Round and Round with the kids in the car and hear this song playing in the back ground and have to stop and be still. Be still in the fact that I have to refocus my thoughts to the almighty God I serve. He is mighty, he is great and he is above all.

My situation the past few weeks is so temporary. It is but a flash in the life I live. Right now it seems like forever but it is not. It has become all consuming and that is such a sad state to be in. I realized that I have had the best pity party that can be thrown because of things not going according to the pregnancy plan that I have in my mind. There are greater things that I would rather spend my time on. Like helping my friends with a shower for a fellow prego at church. Cherishing Cameron's time off of work. Telling my friends and family how much they mean to me. God has blessed me with a HUGE extended network of friends. They are really family~church family, brothers and sisters in Christ. How much closer can you get than sharing a love of God and your faith? But like I said today was a day to be reminded of all of that.

I lift my eyes unto the hills
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth

Dear God,
Thank you for speaking through Randall this morning. Thank you for being right where I needed you to be. Thank you for providing your Holy Spirit to be with us and shine upon us in times when we need it most. Praise your name in all that I do this week. I praise you for your gentle reminder of patience and peace. I pray for contentment in what you have laid before me. I pray for your will to be done within the next few weeks, for me to accept your plan. I praise you for your mercy that you so graciously give each and every day. God I thank for moving Cameron and I to a church that you wanted us to be apart of. Thank you for making it clear for us and allowing us to be apart of your work. Praise you!
Amen
