Praise You in this Storm



I was sure by now,God, that You would have reached down
and wiped our tears away,
stepped in and saved the day.
But once again, I say amen
and it's still raining
as the thunder rolls
I barely hear You 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.

And I'll praise you in this storm
and I will lift my hands
for 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

I remember when I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry to You
and raised me up again
my strength is almost gone how can I carry on
if I can't find You
and as the thunder rolls
I barely hear You 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

And I'll praise you in this storm
and I will lift my hands
for 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

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

And I'll praise you in this storm
and I will lift my hands
for 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

Ben and Katie in Haiti



My friend and fellow Pi Phi, Katie Kilpatrick, is in Haiti with her husband. The moved just a few weeks before the earthquake to teach at a school there. She has been updating her blog frequently (www.benandkatieinhaiti.com) and really presents a different perspective to everything that is happening in Haiti.


She posted the following lyrics from a Shane and Shane song today:

Come let us return
He has torn us into pieces He has injured us come let us return to the Lord He will heal us He will bandage our wounds in just a short time He'll restore us in just a short time He'll restore His church so we might live we might live in His presence in His presence oh that we might know the Lord oh that we might know the Lord oh that we might know the Lord let us press on to know Him
let us press hard into Him
then as surely as the coming of the dawn
He will respond



Please go to her blog - www.benandkatieinhaiti.com - to read more and to donate if you wish.

Will it Waffle?

My brother got a waffle iron for Christmas this year - after he asked if he could use his panini maker to make waffles.

Looks like he should have started out with the waffle maker in the first place.

The S'moreffles look particularly intriguing.

Mighty Life List

I saw this today - nothing too extreme - just small things. It's a good reminder that the small things sometimes mean the most.
