God is Still In Control!!!

It's been a while since i've written. So much going on! Classes started last week, but there was a shooting on campus! Can you believe it! i know the guy who got shot. Thankfully he's recovering! My prayers are with him.
Now, we face another disaster and pure chaos! i live in central Mississippi. We are very blessed and thankful! A few trees and debris fell all around us and our lights were out for 2hours max, but we came through it unharmed! (Thank You, Lord!) Unfortunately, my mom has not been able to contact any of the members of the church she pastors in Jones County, Miss, where 1000 homes were destroyed and 6 were reported dead. Morning Star, we're praying for you! We love you! Keep the faith! it's almost like a war zone in south Miss,Alabama, and New Orleans. i sit here watching the news 24/7 since Sunday night. And its like the end of the world, even as far north as we are! Fights and craziness at the pumps! Most of the gas stations here are out of gas or have no electricity! The shelters are up and running, but some have no water, ice, and AC! It's rough, but we are so blessed! We're 20 miles from the capital, Jackson, where a lot of people are still without power! Cell phones are nearly impossible to use. Pray for the people who have lost their homes and loved ones.
We're blessed! We have utilities and food and our homes are still standing, but if you take an hour and a half drive south, you can't even get to Hattiesburg and it's about 90 miles from the coast!
But what upsets me is the people who are looting and using unnecessary force! They're raiding hospitals and nursing homes and residents! They're raiding department stores, grabbing electronics and jewelry! Where are you taking these things when you have no homes? No power! It's pure chaos! Now, is the time for the saints to band together in prayer, love and fellowship!

GOD IS STILL IN CONTROL! IT'S TIME TO TURN BACK TO HIM AND THROW OURSELVES AT HIS THRONE OF MERCY, NO MATTER WHERE YOU LIVE! NO MATTER WHERE YOU LIVE! WHEREVER WE ARE IN THE WORLD, IT'S TIME TO SEEK GOD WHILE HE CAN STILL BE FOUND!

They shall turn back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to he molten images, Ye are our gods. Isaiah 42:17

We have made too many things our gods! It's time to turn back to the One Truine God!

Pray for our country! Pray for God's mercy and Peace! My thoughts and prayers go out to all the families on the Gulf coast and everyone who's been been affected by this tragedy, but please remember that God is in control! Hold on to your faith!
