"Oh no YOU never let go, through the calm and through the storm! Oh no YOU never let go in every high and every low! Oh no YOU never let go! Lord, YOU never let go of me!" WOW!!! What a thing to praise the Lord for! Knowing that he goes with me everywhere (Joshua 1:9) gives me so much comfort. These past couple days have been rainey!!! Never before have I seen Brentwood, TN FLOOD! It's even made national news. The national guard are here and Brentwood and Franklin have been declared to be in a state of emergency. I keep thinking to myself..hey Lord are you sure you don't want be to build an ark? He keeps assuring me that he holds the whole world in His hands and he's got it under control. What a pleasant reminder of the one whose truly in control...OUR CREATOR. The YMCA is completely flooded. Jake and Diane (Paul and Erin's friends) got their car flooded at River Park off Concord Road. The Lees have 10 in. in there backyard. The Bechtels have a flooded basement. The Heyens' and Wallaces' yards are under water. The basement of the Fine Arts building at my school looks like an indoor swimming pool. Our "creek" that is never full of water is overflowing. It showed on the news today that a lady had to have the doctors come to her house to deliver her baby because she was trapped inside. Call 911...no Call on Jesus! The Tellers have been my rainbow and sunshine these past couple days. Their precious children light up my life! Tonight Erin was driving me home and said, "Caroline, maybe just maybe the Creator trying to tell us something. A little sprinkle just isn't enough for this world anymore. Maybe it's about time we all WAKE UP! People get so consumed by their material possessions and maybe now without some of them, they will be able to truly fix their eyes back to Christ." Erin was soooooo beyond RIGHT! We have to wake up and turn our eyes back to Christ. We have to realize that no matter how hard the rain falls, or how much the river overflows...that HE NEVER LETS GO!
