It's hard not to get emotional when you see all of the devastating weather that is happening around our country. This past weekend, right in the heart of our State, Minneapolis and some surrounding cities were hit with a horrific tornado. I was actually driving home from celebrating my Mom's birthday and was caught in the most torrential downpour of rain and wind on 100 and 36th Ave... later found out that there was a Tornado just blocks away from where I was. I feel blessed that I was spared.
My heart aches for those who were affected not just yesterday but all around our country. I can't help but feel that God is trying to speak to us in a BIG way. Unfortunately it sometimes takes tragedy for good things to happen. I can only hope that through awful and life changing experiences that God is working and changing hearts.
I came across this YouTube video that was a tribute to the Alabama tornado victims that happened the end of April. The pictures speak for themselves. My favorite line is:
"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 am learning that God is still God, no matter what storm you are facing in life. He hears you and He listens, although it may not be apparent at the time, there is purpose and a plan in life's storms

Glad to hear your ok! Quinn and I were on our way to a bday party and turned around when the sirens went off. Found out later that if we would have left 5 minutes earlier we would have driven right into it.
Such a scary thought. Someone was definitely watching over us!
