Out of the Storm

I have to admit that about two days ago I was pretty tired of Job's situation. I don't know about you but I was so challenged by Job's attitude and as I reflected on my own attitude from day to day, there is only so much personal conviction I can take! He questioned God, he challenged God, and things just kept getting worst for the poor guy!

Today we have finally reached the finish line and suddenly God speaks to Job "out of the storm". As I write there's a storm brewing outside. I can see the lightning flashing across the dark sky and the thunder rumbling. It's pretty incredible to watch, but can you imagine hearing God speak in the midst of a storm?!

Sometimes the storm of life is just like the one I'm watching outside. It rumbles and intimidates, and it make you want to hide inside. However, like Job, I would like to be close enough to God that I can hear His voice and see His power in my life, "My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you (Job 42:6)."

Hey girls. First of all, let me say that this new group of friends is such a blessing to me! It is so good to share and talk to you all. It is so sweet to pray for you and to listen to how God is working in your lives. Thank you for sharing your hearts. This is going to be a great year!
Now, a couple of things.
1. If you would like to post, you must send me an email so that I can add you to the list of authorized posters. Send it to tinalouderback@gmail.com
2. The blog offers an option for you to have any posts and comments sent directly to your email box. I find this easier than checking the blog. Just letting you know it is an option for you.
3. I am going to "close" the blog on Saturday. At that point, only authorized readers will be able to look at the blog. Each of you will be authorized. :) Janna and I feel like this will be important as we continue to share our hearts with each other. It will provide a more private setting for all of us.

That is it for now. Again, it is a joy to join you in this journey.
