So Mike and a group are in Little Axe, Ok this weekend to help with clean up and such from the recent tornado that hit Moore also. i wanted to go with the group but i couldn't. Last night they got hit by severe storms. They took cover in a concrete bathroom at a lake camp ground to ride out the storms. One of the youth with them text, "A dumpster now lives in a tree..." Mike sent a picture of the sky before dark and the one i've included. He sent a video also. The video was dark with the exception of lightening flashes and sounds of "chaos". i had The Weather Channel on just to keep up. And yes, i was glued to the TV. i tried not to text Mike a lot and to be a nuisance. Was very hard for sure. i shared this picture on Facebook and a friend commented...  
God's light in all this darkness.         
          
           Thank You for the gentle reminder. i turned to my Abba in prayer not just for Mike and the group but for those who the group is there to help. i prayed for the ones who have lost loved ones. Also, i prayed for the ones who have lost things. Things are things and are not as important as people but they still matter. Who's to say that God doesn't use things to give us the reminder of His love, we need through a picture or scripture in a frame not destroyed in an EF-5 tornado. His love is the light in all this darkness. Not just in the storms of weather but in the storms of life!

          i cherish each day with my spouse and Yes Lord, He is in Your capable, wonderful hands.Thank You for the reminder through a wonderful friend.

A Long Time and So much Has Happened

It's been a long time and so much has happened since I blogged last.When I look out my kitchen window now, the scenery has changed. We "sold" our house in Cameron to our son and his lovely bride and moved to Poteau, over a year ago. Mike and I are grandparents to a gorgeous little girl. I have a full time job other than the "house-job". Mike has been promoted to an "office" job with the same company. Our daughter has graduated from CASC. I legally changed my name to the name I have been going by since I was 13. And lots of other daily life stuff. Just checking in and hoping to start blogging again.

Living each day for my Abba,,,DA
