praise you in this storm

 

I was sure by now
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 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

I’ll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
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
You raised me up again
My strength is almost gone
How can I carry on
If I can’t find You

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

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

Over the past couple weeks….. wow…. ok, try again…. Over the past couple weeks I’ve gotten so much encouragment from people that I had taken for granted.  The mail, emails, messages, phone calls and visits have been such a blessing…  people that I didnt even think knew me as more then an aquantence and encouraging me, and uplifting me in their prayers, and I’m SO grateful, you all have no idea!  Truely, you guys have made all the difference, particularly in the last couple days… You all are the reason that I’m trying to be strong….

Ok… and I need to take this oportunity to give a shout-out to SARAH MULDER!!  Last night I was snowed in at Karens house, and her sister also couldnt make it home… it made for some much needed girl-chat, and some entertaining Greys Anatomy….  Sorry I gave away the ending guys… its a skill I tell you….  It was just too predictable.

 Anyways… hard as it is to fight when you dont feel like you have any fight left, I want you to know that I am in this battle with myself….. and with all your prayers, my awesome family, and God on my side, I know this is something that somehow, someday, I’ll get through…. 

Thank you.
