Hurricane Ike!






We made it!  There is a lot of flooding and trees down.  At the moment we cannot leave our apartment complex because of trees down.  We have power but 2 million people are out of power and probably will be for the next couple days.  We were told that 96% of the people do not have power, we are in that 4% that does. These were a few pictures of our apartment complex.

Something that inspires me.

Sometimes I go through life doing things on my own.  I underestimate how big God is and what He can do. When I get like this I like to listen to some encouraging music and one song comes to mind.  Its called Redeemer by Nicole Mullen.  When I listen to her sing about God and His capabilities, it puts me back under His wing.  I guess it helps a little that she has an amazing voice!

  I will share some of the song with you.

Who taught the sun... where to stand in the morning
 Who told the ocean... you can only come this far
And who showed the moon... where to hide 'til evening
Who's words alone can catch a falling star?

Well I know, my Redeemer lives
I know my Redeemer lives
All of creation testify
This life within me cries
I know my Redeemer lives.

The very same God, that spins things in orbit
He runs to the weary, the worn and the weak
And the same gentle hands that hold me when I'm broken
They conquered death to bring me victory.

This is just an awesome reminder of God's promise to love and take care of us who follow Him.
If you have not heard this song you need to!

These are a few pictures that we took in Thailand that show just a glimpse of what I'm talking about.









Who told the ocean... you can only come this far.









The very same God that spins things in orbit  runs to the weary the worn and the weak.














He conquered death to bring me victory!
