Praise You in this storm

Well I wasn't palnning on posting tonight but riding home from church and reflecting on somethings I felt that I should. I know the title of this post is very similar to a song by Casting Crowns (which I happen to love) but it seems to fit the lesson I have seen going in my life and around me.
Let me start by saying there is a girl whom I used to work with at school that is going through a storm that I wasn't aware of. Since she posted on facebook I am sure she won't mind me putting it here. She has just found out that one of her boys has autism. Her post that I read today took my breath and brught tears to my eyes and put a lump in my throat. In the midst of this news she is thanking God for not letting her baby have more serious issues than he does and for God blessing her by allowing her to be his mother. All I could think was WOW! I would hope that facing that kind of challenge I would be able to have the heart that she does.
I have gone through some storms in my life and although they do not compare to her's, I can say that the ones I went through looking to God and letting Him be my comfort and strength were much easier to go through than those I didn't.
Today in youth at church we continued our study on King David. As David was on the run from King Saul he took time to praise God. He knew that Saul was after him to kill and yet still Praised God! I hope that I can learn a lesson from David and even this very special mom and realize that when I am going through a storm, as unbearable as it my seem my God is in control and worthy to be praised!
