Most of you who frequent these parts probably already know, but please pray for Pinakidion and his new baby girl Elani Rose Payne, formerly known as Dancing Bear. Elani was born Wednesday<\/a> with a blockage in her nose and is not able to breath on her own. She’s on a ventilator and will have corrective surgery on Monday.
\nThey’ve been through this once before, with their son about 18 months ago. Twice in 2 years is a little hard.
\nIn the mean time, John, I hope these lyrics from Casting Crowns<\/a> might be of comfort. May you be able to sing them yourself soon.<\/p>\n

Praise You In This Storm<\/strong>
\nI was sure by now
\nThat You would have reached down
\nAnd wiped our tears away
\nStepped in and saved the day
\nBut once again, I say “Amen”, and it’s still raining
\nAs the thunder rolls
\nI barely hear Your whisper through the rain
\n“I’m with you”
\nAnd as You mercy falls
\nI raise my hands and praise the God who gives
\nAnd takes away
\nI’ll praise You in this storm
\nAnd I will life my hands
\nFor You are who You are
\nNo matter where I am
\nEvery tear I’ve cried
\nYou hold in Your hand
\nYou never left my side
\nAnd though my heart is torn
\nI will praise You in this storm
\nI remember when
\nI stumbled in the wind
\nYou heard my cry
\nYou raised me up again
\nMy strength is almost gone
\nHow can I carry on
\nIf I can’t find You
\nAs the thunder rolls
\nI barely hear You whisper through the rain
\n“I’m with you”
\nAnd as Your mercy falls
\nI raise my hands and praise the God who gives
\nAnd takes away
\nI lift my eyes unto the hills
\nWhere does my help come from?
\nMy help comes from the Lord
\nThe Maker of Heaven and Earth<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
