praise you in this storm

Baby,

it's pushing 3am and tonight is especially bad. i can't sleep. i can't stop crying. i was looking through our pictures and this picture made me so happy. it is the most beautiful display of your intense passion. your whole life you have been passionate. about everything you do. i'm so proud of you, Michael.

Right now a song just came on itunes that has spoken to me for several months now. i don't know why this is happening to us...but I trust that God knows what he is doing....and this song explains exactly how I feel....

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