One year ago today Douglas County, Ga. experienced a flood that no one seen coming. So many lost their lives, and many their homes. I think about that day when I got a e-mail from so many friends saying Kelli Smith was one of the people who was taken, I was totally heartbroken. Then a phone call telling me that Ty Weathers wife was another, my heart broke even more and I begin to pray for these families, I could not even or want to imagine what they are going through. Just when I thought it could not get worse I received another e-mail telling me Kevin Hodges was another person taken by the flood. I know there was a lot more, but these I knew and I know their families. I would like everyone to join together and pray for these families that lost love ones a year ago today.

We sometimes want to ask GOD why, I know I did that day. And I was reminded of the verse:
Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end(kjv).
Another version of Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

GOD knows the future, and his plans for us are good and full of hope. As long as the GOD who knows the future is there with us and goes with us as we live, we can have a boundless hope. This does not mean we will be spared pain, suffering, or hardships, BUT that GOD will see us through to a glorious conclusion. Though we are in a difficult place and time(sometimes), we should not despair for we have GOD's presence, the privilege of prayer, and GOD's grace. It is wonderful to know we can go to our LORD in times of trouble, heartache, sorrow, even anger knowing he loves us and wraps his loving arms around us and wants the best for us and our future.


‎1 year ago today Lord you said Let it rain. We saw your mighty power we questioned why, but Lord you still sit on high and look low. And for that I praise you.


In His Name
GOD bless you and yours......
