Psalm 46 March 21,  2013 (5 years after the Sichuan earthquake)

We all face challenges. Sometimes we face a huge physical challenge and sometimes it is an emotional challenge. When the earthquake was happening we feared for our lives - it was something we had NO control over. The ground would shake anytime it wanted to and we could do nothing about it. The mountains literally melted like wax. 

Moving to a new city has caused us to feel like we have no friends. Emotionally we are worn out by dealing with a suicide this past summer and last week we thought we were going to be working through another one when someone on our team went missing for three days. At those times it feels like everything is out of control. Nothing is in control. We want to say Why God? That is OK. There is still Truth that remains solid even when we don't feel like there is solid.
