My heart aches!

Have you seen the footage? Have you seen the images? It is like ground hogs day as we relive the flooding of August all over again. Roads are closed, the waters are high, and businesses and houses are getting flooded...again. I can't tell you how sad my heart is for all those just finishing up from the disaster last year only to have water in their houses or property again. I saw one interview yesterday of a man from Findlay, OH (that is flooding yet again) who said his family was just about to move back in to their house this weekend from last August's flood and now their house is flooding again! ...........I have no words at this moment............. How devastating.

There are moments like these when our hurts, pains, and problems are so deep that the only thing that can sooth is to think that there is someone greater than us that is looking out for us in some way shape or form. It is so easy in these times to wonder, "where is God when bad things happen to good people?" However, in times of severe crisis I just choose to cry out to God and say, "I need you now." Imagine how much worse it would be to go through fiery trials and realize there is no reason behind it...that there is nothing out there greater than you, caring for you, that you can cry out to for strength. In this case there would be no answers, no reason, it would be hopeless, and all our trials and struggles would be for nothing. In Christ there is always hope. There is always a light at the end of the tunnel. There is always promise. My prayer is that those that suffer today in their tragedy could some how feel and know the touch of God in their hearts...to know that they are not alone in their struggles...to feel God's tears as they cry themselves, but to know that they are not by themselves. May people today in our area feel the compassion of our creator who does in deed have our concerns & struggles on His heart. Blessings, Your Dreaming Pastor
