It's been a tough weekend.. I've been alone with 4 kids in the middle of a big storm, literally. In the middle of the night a big oak tree decided to try and make a shishkabob of my house.
God is good. He protected my kids sleeping in the room where a branch went through the ceiling. God helped me keep my calm. My sweet boys made me proud and knew exactly what to do and helped each other.
I left a message for a friend a little bit ago, after an attempt at a conversation (interrupted by children, of course). "Hi there, this is Elijah calling from the wilderness..."
I looked up Elijah and here's what I found.
"Elijah’s life was filled with turmoil. At times he was bold and decisive, and at other times fearful and tentative. He alternately demonstrates victory and defeat, followed by recovery. Elijah knew both the power of God and the depths of depression.
As was true for Elijah, when we focus on the noise and the tumult of life in this world, we can get our eyes off of the LORD. However, if we listen for His still, small voice and walk in obedience to His Word, we find victory and reward."
This is Elijah in the wilderness..
