Friends,
We live near Raleigh, NC. Yesterday, we watched news coverage, amazed as the storms swept through to our west and then to our east. Our little patch in between got some wind and rain and nothing more. I wonder if that's somewhat how the Israelites' felt when God parted the Jordan to lead them to safety. I am grateful for His protection.
Hundreds around us lost their homes. At least ten people in our region died -- and some little kids are still unaccounted for. Please pray for the families who lost everything (from Oklahoma to Alabama to NC and beyond). May this be a time that God's love is revealed to those who don't know him as we support one another. Pray for peace and comfort for those who must piece their lives back together. Pray for the workers, the first responders who must deal with death and the relief workers who will clean up. Pray, too, for the power company as they restore power to thousands in the coming days.
Thank you,
Karen

I first heard of the devastion this morning when a blog I follow posted something about it, just awful. My thoughts and prayers are with all the families and people helping them. I hope you stay safe too!
Praying for your area and those across the south affected by this horrific storm.
I'm glad you are OK. I will definitely be praying for those people.
How sad. I live in Kansas and several years ago a tornado completely destroyed a town. I hope they get everything back running soon.
Following you from Mental Health blog hop, would love if you could stop by and follow me too.

I'm glad that you and your family are safe! But I'm praying for all those who lost their homes and are looking for family members. Keep us all posted.
Karen,
I wandered over here because you and I posted on the discussion about moderating our blogs and I wanted to visit you!
I saw this about the terrible storm on the news yesterday...I pray for all those involved in this horrific ordeal. I cannot imagine what that kind of devastation must feel like.
I plan to be a new follower of yours, it is always so nice to meet a fellow christain in the blog world! :)
So very thankful that you are ok. I'll definitely be praying for the victims...
Love,

YES! These were some ferocious storms. Friends of ours--their whole street was destroyed but their house only had minimal damage. Amazing. I'm glad you're ok too!
