Dear Family,
I heard exactly what I needed to hear on the radio this morning as I was driving to work. I had gone to bed exhausted last night both physically and mentally. This morning as I drove to work the Casting Crowns song "Praise You in this Storm" was playing on KLOVE. I have heard it many times before, we own that album, but this morning I really listened and it was totally what I needed to hear.
Praise you in this storm
Casting Crowns
words by Mark Hall/music by Mark Hall and Bernie Herms
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
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.
Chorus:
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
Chorus
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
Chorus

There are so many good lines in this song. But one I particularly like is "I’ll praise You in this storm And I will lift my hands For You are who You are No matter where I am." As I drove, tears rolled down my eyes and I just starting offering praise up to the Lord. He is God, wherever we are, whatever we are going through. That is such a beautiful thing. It also comforts me to think that God is with Sam just as He is with us even though we are apart and our help comes from the Lord the maker of Heaven and Earth! Wow! Amen.
Love, Gretchen
