The Next Chapter

Proverbs 15:1
A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.

Words to live by....... Today I tested this.... Today it was Merry & Jack 0-60
One second seemingly normal the next running out of karate both of them a minute a part!?!?
Not know what happened or trying not to fuel the fire, they did that for themselves by talking back to the Sansei.... We left. They yell at each other and cried about their worst day ever...... The drama. Usually I play right into this. Falling right into yelling and getting caught up into their drama!

Keeping quiet and praying for peace on the way home.... We regained composure and we were able to talk about the day.... Small victories.

Casting Crowns - 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 Your 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

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 hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away

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
