I WILL praise you in the storm...

First, I have to thank God for His indescribable grace and mercy. Scott was on his way home from work tonight...in the pouring rain...and an eighteen-wheeler (going to fast) took out Scott's trailer...yeah, the one we were SO excited to get a short four months ago!!! Scott didn't have a scratch on him (Praise the Lord!)...and neither did his truck.

Scott saw the truck coming and "gunned" it trying to get out of the way...the eighteen wheeler JUST missed Scott's truck.

Scott had such a good attitude about it....I, on the other hand, was very bumbed out!!! Disgusted, rather. Thinking about how much work Scott has put into the trailer...and that we only got it 4 months ago...and how much he was enjoying having it....and...ugh....

Then....I was reminded of something I heard not too long ago....

If you only praise God on the mountain tops...and NOT in the valleys....its really not praise at all. So I choose to praise HIM....we don't know the reasons things happen...but we must trust He will see us through....
