Blessed Be Your Name

After receiving some sad and for some heart-breaking news this morning, some of the words to this song immediately came to mind.

You give and take away

You give and take away

But my heart will choose to say

Blessed be Your name

We had a lot of flooding in our area last week, and the elementary/middle school I went to was completely flooded! There was water up to the ceiling and Everything was destroyed....all the curriculum, books, computers, desks, supplies, everything. This is a small one room Christian school, so for all of this to happen was devastating!

Church leaders and some of the families of the school held a meeting last night to decide whether or not to re-open the school. Members of the church have been fasting and praying this week, asking for the Lord's guidance as to what to do.

My mom called this morning to let me know that the decision was made to close the school.

My heart is aching for my mom who's been working there since I went there. The other teachers, families and church members who were so heavily involved in this school. It was more than a school but like a small family.

I am praying for all involved!

I thought this song was appropriate, no matter how hard, sad, heartbreaking the circumstances.....my heart will choose to say, Blessed be Your name!
