Even now...

If you haven't heard, there was horrible flooding in Indiana this weekend. One of the worst areas effected was our hometown. I spent 90% of the day yesterday on the phone with my family and friends trying to grasp what was happening to those I love so dearly. I cried a lot. Worried a lot. Asked a lot of questions and worried and cried some more. I just cannot begin to fathom some of the fear and panic so many people most have felt. I cannot being to understand just how scary it must be to leave your home, all of your earthly treasures knowing that when you return nothing will ever be the same. Through this, God has reminded me of how precious life is. How blessed we are to have family. To be loved. To have shelter. To be saved.

Both of our families are safe. My dad and my brother-in-law are both working non-stop to assist in restoration efforts. If you think of it, pray for their safety as they continue working 16hrs. at a time, coming home to sleep for eight and going back again. They make me proud.
Also, pray for all the victims of the flood. Many have lost everything. They are homeless and feel hopeless. My heart is so heavy for each of them.

I read in God's word today - Don't let your heart be troubled. Trust in God.
The truth is He is still God and He has control of it all. When we don't understand, and I don't...God is still God. When we are worried, as I often do...God is still God. When we doubt, and I have...God is still God. Even now, God is still God.
