prayer request

please take a minute to say a prayer for my coworker, mentor and friend, angie. she, along with too many others right now, is frantically trying to get in touch with her family tonight after a horrible string of tornados ripped through our area. the tornado that touched through her neighborhood was apparently an f-3 (with the scale only going to f-5). the pictures just make your draw drop and tears fall. there are no words for something like this.

i just heard from another friend that angie is finally getting to walk into her neighborhood (at 9pm) and is trying to meet up with her two young boys. (they were at their babysitters house. it is completely crumbled, but all are okay.) please pray for her, her family, and so many others that are affected by this horrible natural disaster. you never think it can happen to you, where you live, in your neighborhood....until it does.

and just fyi...my parents, pups and i are thankfully okay. we were glued to the tv from 4:00 this afternoon until about 8:00, when the last set of storms blew through. tornadoes were popping up everywhere around us and we just knew we were next in line. we were preparing the windows and deciding where to run (bathtub or hall closet?) for the best safety net. thankfully, we were blessed with safety throughout the scary evening and never had to put any of our plans into action. please continue to pray for so many families that are hurting tonight. it's so hard to find hope in times like these.

God is good, all the time.

that is craziness. i just went and watched some of the news clips of the damage. i didn't even know that there was a tornado until yesterday! i am so glad that you guys weren't in it's path and so sad that anyone had to be in it's path.
