It's February????

I guess spring is already here.  Tornadoes ripped through Edmond Tuesday afternoon and left a track of distruction.  Being only 1/2 mile to a mile away the kids and I hid under our stairs in a closet praying.  We were spared, but unfortunatly many families homes were not.  No lives lost though, so thank God for that.  I am very proud of the way the kids handled the situation.  The boys didn't know what was going on, but Alli, having hid in the closet before, did know and was scared.  In the last few days, she has relaxed a little bit and just talked to us about it.  I hate that she was so scared, but she needs to be aware of the weather in Oklahoma.  

She also helped me in the heat of the moment.  All 4 of us huddled under a blanket and I started to say a prayer and when I stopped to talk to Jeff about what the news was reporting, she picked up where I left off and prayed herself.  I can't say how proud I was of her.  She also told many of our neighbors, "We are safe because we prayed to God."  

No matter what I do, I know many scary things will come her way, I just hope that I can help her build a strong foundation and faith in Christ.  I want her to know He is aways with us and will always take care of us.  

Psalm 124:8

"Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth."
