please pray

The student shot was my cousin. I'm sure I will write more about him later. For now, please just pray for his family, our family, and the student who shot him.

I pray that God will bring glory to Himself in some way through this horrible event. He is still King of Kings and Lord of Lords and holds are future in His loving hands even when nothing makes sense and I WILL praise Him in this storm.

Praise You in This Storm

I was sure by now

God You would have reached down

And wiped our tears away

Stepped in and saved the day

But once again, I say "Amen", and it's still raining

As the thunder rolls

I barely hear you whisper through the rain

"I'm with you"

And as your mercy falls

I raise my hands and praise the God who gives

And takes away

(chorus)

And I'll praise you in this storm

And I will lift my hands

For You are who You are

No matter where I am

And every tear I've cried

You hold in Your hand

You never left my side

And though my heart is torn

I will praise you in this storm

I remember when

I stumbled in the wind

You heard my cry to You

And You raised me up again

My strength is almost gone

How can I carry on

If I can't find You

But as the thunder rolls

I barely hear You whisper through the rain

"I'm with you"

And as your mercy falls

I raise my hand and praise the God who gives

And takes away

(chorus)

I lift my eyes unto the hills

Where does my help come from?

My help comes from the Lord

The maker of Heaven and Earth
