The Storm

What can I say about the storm. It seems everywhere around us here is broken. Pleasant Grove is most of our hometown to people who read my blog so it is very personal to us. I don't know why it hits some homes and churches and skips others but I know my family is alright and so are their homes. Its amazing really. I am so thankful to God and feel so incredibly blessed. It was so hard to see it on television knowing that it was going right over them and being at home feeling so helpless wondering if they are alright. The worst thing I believe I have experienced personally. I am overwhelmed for the community of P.G. and truly speechless. When I saw the devastation and realized it would never be the same again it just broke my heart in two. My heart and prayers are out there for every person and family who were left with nothing, people everywhere. It is so hard to imagine when seeing everything in person how anyone is alive. I just don't see how people survived but they did and they will continue to survive. It's hard for some people to see how we must give God the glory in a situation like this, but we do. He is good and we must praise him. He gives us everything we need. I just thank him for his many blessings I receive every day and for the one he gave me on Wednesday night, my family alive. I am praying for you all out there and I love you -
