Through It All

I saw on one news report out of Birmingham of a lady and her family that rode out the tornado in their bathtub.  There is much more about this we should all know.

She said they could see the tornado approaching their house.  As it got closer this mom and her kids got in a bathtub in their house.  She prayed for peace for her and her family while this storm raged all around them.  The tornado came right over this home and literally tore the roof off the house.  These people were able to look up straight into the eye of the tornado.  When asked what they saw and how it felt, she simply said; “Peaceful.” There was white clouds and stillness around them.  There was peace right in the midst of the storm.  God is showing His power during all that happened.  God is a God of peace and is demonstrating it now to us.  There are many more stories like this coming out now, but this one really stuck out to me.  The Anchor lady telling the story was all but preaching the peace of God.  As Andre Crouch sang, “Through it all,” God will walk it out with us.
