I like this clip:

This is a great song for someone getting baptized.

Remembering:

5 years ago, yesterday, was the Derecho in my hometown. It took my husband nearly 3 hours to get home from across town (usually 20 mins.) because the whole city was a Jenga mess of trees. We lost 80% of the tree canopy in this town. When it was all cleared it was the most off looking place to me.

Most people would be overwhelmed by this tree, what to do with it. But he worked 20 years in the tree service industry. This was an old hat to put on. He cut and my son and neighbors cleared the tree from the street in less than an hour. Our trees and yard were clear that day. My son spent the next week helping his best friend’s family around the corner and my husband went to work by day and in the evening moved on to neighboring trees.

We went 14 days without power, thank the Lord for generators.

The church readied and sent teams to help people clear the debris.

It was a mad house.

The whole year of 2020 was a stress test of the heart for sure. I don’t know if anyone remembers but I do. Our pastor at the time, prophesied at the end of 2019 that we were going to enter a time of a stress test. Boy was it ever!

Here we are 5 years later, and God is so faithful, so big, so kind, so strong, so mighty. God can get us through the storms and strengthen us for the journey.

Thanks for listening,
