PEACE, BE STILL

ON MONDAY: My son and I had just sat down in the living room to eat a special lunch the Lord had me cook for him - and the thunder was rolling (lately it doesn't just boom once - it booms and rolls and rolls, lingering for minutes at a time) and lightning struck nearby - I pulled up the mini-blinds so we could watch - and after awhile our tree long down-hanging branches started to churn and spin - and the Lord had me talking to my son while putting my hand to the window glass and proclaiming "PEACE BE STILL" - and it calmed. AT THE SAME TIME, my brother was down the street and around the corner, sitting in his humongous Chevy suburban in the Panera parking lot, unable to see to drive and said the winds were so intense his vehicle was rocking (it's at least a half-ton vehicle)....

After the storm left and quieted...I went out as per the Lord - at the end of our street and to the left, a huge tree was down, laying across the roadway. In OUR YARD, however, was laying a small branch. The comparison was so amazing - to God be the glory! HAHA - and there were huge chunks of trees all over on our side of town (but as I drove further to the east toward the post office, NO BRANCHES/TREES DOWN ANYWHERE.

So - while the devil focused on MY NEIGHBORHOOD - the power of God once again kept us safe, evidenced by the destruction on all sides but NOT HERE - HALLELUJAH

I did take a picture of the branch and the tree but had to use a disposable box camera - my son and I went across town on purpose to a store that actually still develops these cameras in an hour while you shop and their FILM CENTER WAS ACTUALLY CLOSED - a sign was up and it said "Sorry for the inconvenience" - any other day of the week they are OPEN - something happened (the employee was sick or something) - but it was the DEVIL who did not want the Lord to get the glory from the photographic evidence.

Attached is a photo my son took for me from his car window, his phone camera doesn't have zoom - so it's a very poor shot of the size of the tree that fell just down the block (and he didn't take any pics of the small branch felled in our yard - I will have to put up those photos at a later time but will not wait any longer to give God the glory for protecting us once again....

really hard to see - this is at the end of our street and just to the left - the storm was a straight line to US but the Lord did not allow it to touch us!
