It is not everyone who has a direct connection and relationship, so personal with something so tragic. Your words of encouragement and hope speak ever more powerfully.

“Where we should start is inside our own hearts.” It’s where the journey begins to true peace. Thanks, Glynn.

That is my life verse, Susan – since I first believed.

Thank you for this blog. And thank you for the questions at the end. Very powerful questions which lead to deep thought and peace within.

Another blog carnival participant shared … Even so, all is well with my soul.

In your questions, I find, all is well with my soul.

thanks!

I learned about the earthquake on Facebook from a missionary stationed in the DR before the news even hit CNN. And the news hit me VERY hard… I’ve spent 2 summers in the DR (same island, different country) and have befriended many Haitians there. Plus, I have several missionary friends there (one of whom perished after 55 hours trapped in the rubble). The scripture that God has encouraged me with is from Psalm 9:9-11, which says, “The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you. Sing praises to the LORD, enthroned in Zion; proclaim among the nations what he has done.”

Praise the LORD that He is still loving and moving and healing in Haiti and around the world! He has not forsaken His children and He is allowing people like you and me to proclaim among the nations (including Haiti) of what He has done!

You’re absolutely right, Bonnie. When the earthquakes, tsunamis or hurricanes hit, we immediately turn to the familiar to try to make sense of these things, or to the established authorities and demand they “do something.” Where we should start is inside our own hearts.

He will keep us in perfect peace when our mind is stayed on Him … and not on our circumstances
