The large Oak that fell on the back of the house
Side view out my back door
This is the entrance to my house and front porch -
"Welcome to the Secret Garden"!
My daughter, Becky, visiting from Haiti, surveys the damages.
Partial view of the back of the house
The tree that came down on the shed and the decking and fence underneath
The TREE fell from the back of the house to the front and completely covers my front porch and front door.
The TREE was removed on the 4th of July leaving the stump [which the insurance company does not cover to have removed. Nice lawn ornament, huh? Did anyone notice the GROW sign on the back of my house along with the wire butterfly?
My grandkids climbed up for a picture last night!

This verse was given to me this morning:
Psalm 42:11
Why are you downcast, O my soul?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise Him,
my Savior and my God.
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,

Psalm 126:
3
The LORD has done great things for us, and we
are filled with joy.
Because ... Anguish and JOY dance
together!

You are an amazing and precious friend!! Those pictures make me sick, and I am pretty sure I would not be seeing the joy in the view you are looking at! BUT... you have chosen JOY and you are ministering even now in the midst of the big mess!
I just love you Stephanie!! :)
oh, my sweet Stephanie! I am so sorry that this had to happen to you! My daughter and husband who are working in Illinois, were in those bad storms last week and were hit pretty hard. Thank goodness they are ok and I am so thankful that YOU are ok!
You have some beautiful grandbabies my friend. I am catching up! #8 will be here in 3 1/2 weeks!
I am praying praying praying for you!
How sad to know that 23 trees were felled by the derecho windstorm, and that some part of your house and shed were damaged. Maybe some of those trees will still grow back?
I have missed you, and praise God knowing you are safe.
Your grands are beautiful!
Love

Thanks so much for all the thoughts and prayers from many of you and others who sent emails to me as well! God is faithful and He is making ALL THINGS NEW!
I am having trouble accessing my blogger account because of something I did last night! UGH!
The new format threw me for a loop! I have to figure out how to undo something! Until then....
Living in the fulness of JOY,
