Safety of Your Arms

Had a wild and woolly weather day: a funnel cloud was spotted in Burleson! It was scary, but my God is greater. :)

Didn't take a picture of it - was hiding. :) (Whaat? Me? CHASE?? LOL)

The image displayed is one that was taken in 2005.

Poem Artwork

A valuable lesson learned
today:  through the storms,
You are always in control.  

Prayed to keep them away,
You had other plans:  they
formed nearly on top of us.

A great demonstration of
Your power, Your Grace:
You answered my prayers.

Hail!  High wind!  Flooding
rain!  Severe lightning!  The
thing I fear most:  a funnel!

The sirens screamed!  I
sang along with them, part
in praise and part in fear.

You got us through.  You
kept us safe.  No damage
(except shattered nerves).

That does not mean I like
storms any better.  Wouldn't
mind underground shelter...

You reminded me to take
refuge in the safety of Your
arms:  thank You, Lord Jesus.

(c) 2008, Karla Dorman (3/31)

Karla,
I Love as you know Mother's Fury
aside form the fear of course.
Her winds tore off part of my front porch this past December.
WAHhhhhhhh!!!!

It was scary, but I am glad you and I were together during the event; I had you to hang on to while I cried and quaked!! Yet when we started singing and praying I felt a calming peace, and I knew then the Lord was in control! THANK YOU, GOD, and thank you, Karla, for keeping me calm during the tornado warning!! A powerful reminder of God's ability to get us through even the scariest, most uncertain moments of our lives; He is that kind of God! Hallelujah!! :)

Very well penned; brava!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin sis, Karen Lynn. :D
