I have a children's worship cd that I listen to with Channing in the car. Today 'He's got the whole world in his hands' came on & one verse said "He's got the wind & the rain, in his hands. He's got the wind & the rain, in his hands..." You get the picture, but it was so true this past weekend in our area. Approximately 280 tornadoes have been reported from the storms on Saturday.
This a picture that was taken of the tornado that hit the town just 10 miles from us!
It left the Lowes hardware (pictured above) destroyed along with handful of other places and people homes. Our neighbor walked out of the rubble pictured above without a scratch! Isn't that amazing?
There was another tornado that touched down right on base, just 10 more miles from us in the other direction & yet one more storm that touch down about 10 more miles on another side of us and left a huge path of destruction. We were left with 24 hours or so of no power & a sweet baby boy who needed breathing treatments. But even in the midst of our need, God provided. My sweet friend Michele gave us a car adaptor and we were able to give him his treatments when we were without power.
On Sunday morning, John went to the church to see if there was power for services & left our sweet puppy outside because he was gonna be back within the hour. Channing & I were upstairs finally sleeping & had no idea that our sweet puppy girl was outside being attacked by two stray pitbulls!! Our neighbor, same one who walked out of Lowes alive, came over with his gun & saved her life! He literally pulled her head out of the dogs mouth. She's alive, sore & needed 3 staples for her wound.
And our sweetest little blessing.....
you would just never guess that he's on four different medications, eye drops, & taking a breathing treatment every four hours for severe allergies, congestion & viral pinkeye!
Gosh darn it, WE ARE BLESSED! Despite all the unexpected medical bills, vet bills, spoiled groceries & the inconvenience of no electricity....WE ARE BLESSED. God never ceases to be amazing in his ability to provide. I know he's got the whole world in his hands. I know he's covering us. So I'll continue to focus on that truth & refuse to allow the enemy to get the best of me.
My God has the WHOLE WORLD IN HIS HANDS!

Pepper, I love reading your blog. You are such an awesome woman of God, mother & wife. I feel truly blessed to call you my friend.
Girl, that's the attitude we're called to have, so keep up the good work. And NO, I never would've guessed that Channing was on so many meds. That last picture of him should be framed. It's PERFECT!
So glad you are all ok! I hate that your puppy was attacked but very thankful she is ok now too. Love to you guys and your attitude is awesome as always Pepper!
