Indiana Weather

Isn't Indiana weather crazy? One minuet it feels warm and sun shinny out, the next it's storming, and the next it's cold and there might be snow flurries. If we wait twenty minuets, it will be warm again.  And yet, through it all, God is still in control. I had an experience with this just yesterday. During the Behold the Lamb performance, when ever the music was quiet, or when we were back stage, we could hear the hail on the roof quite clearly. Then in the middle the crucifixion scene we were told that there was a tornado, and that the sirens were going off outside. We quickly, but calmly moved off the stage and into tornado safe rooms that were behind the auditorium, and the audience went into the safe hallways on the other side of the auditorium. I sat with a couple of my friends and waited for it to be over. I used to be really afraid of even the thought of a tornado, but not this time. I told my friend Mallory, that there was no where else that I would rather be, and that I felt like singing!

 Afterward, as we made our way back to the stage, I felt so happy! I just kept telling God "Thank You, thank you! I don't know why, but thank you!" I knew that God was doing something great with this tornado, and this whole situation, and even though I didn't know what it was I was so happy and thankful. I know that it was all in His plan and I am so happy that I could be apart of it.  We now know that at last night's performance, 45 people indicated that they trusted Christ as their Savior, and I am quite confident, that the storm was used in some way to bring at least one of those people to their knees. Isn't God great?

who have been called according to his purpose." -Romans 8:28
