The Storms that are

The storms are a brewing as I sit here and type this out. There won't be much to this post due to the impending storms. I pray for Joplin as they were hit with an EF5 tornado on Sunday. The storms that are coming this way are said to be worse than what we in NWA experienced on Sunday evening. Those were nothing short of a God given miracle of protection on NWA. I drove home in the storms Sunday night. I actually drove under a couple of the wall clouds. And let me tell you....It was the most terrifying thing I have ever done so far! They say that the core of the tornado is so still and so silent. I can attest to that. As I drove under the wall cloud that was as black as you can imagine, there was no wind, no rain, no nothing. It was calm. I thought, "Oh my! Nothing is happening." Thank God I made it home that night!

This has nothing to do with nursing school and I could try to tie it in with the end of school and everything, but I won't. I'm afraid I wouldn't have the time to do type it all out. I will say this though: My God is BIGGER than any tornado that comes my way! He is the Alpha and Omega! The Beginning and the End! First and Last is He. How great it is that I am a friend of God and He calls me friend. How great it is to know that if my life were to end tonight, that I will be in Heaven with my loved ones! Thank you Jesus for your new every day mercy! Thank you Jesus for dieing on the cross for MY sins and cleansing me and washing me clean! Thank you Lord for sending YOUR son to die for me!

I pray that the people of NWA will have the hand of protection of God over us tonight as these storms are to last til 3 in the morning. I pray that there will be no more lives lost to such a tragedy!!!
Please also pray for my family. My great grandma on my dad's side is very ill. She is in the hospital tonight and won't make it much longer. They have given her 12 hours-3 days to live. She needs surgery, but her 91 year old body just wouldn't be able to handle it. There hasn't been anyone in my family that I have ever wondered if I would see them in Heaven until now. I really don't know if I would see her again once she passes. Please just pray for peace and understanding for our family.
