We have been through times of war here and at this time we want to give thanks for a time of peace. I believe it is the faithful prayers of many of you that have sustained us through the different seasons of life. I also believe that you all go through storms in your life and would encourage you all, as we have here at CVE to continue to "Praise Him in the Storm". Read the words of the song by that title as we encourage each other. Thanks for all the encouragement that each of you continue to share with us here. We pray that we may also be an encouragement to each of you. Join us in thanking the Lord for a time of peace here at CVE.
A storm from CVE"I will praise Him in this Storm"
I was sure by now
That You would have reached down
And wiped our tears away
Stepped in and saved the day
But once again, I say "Amen", and it's still raining
But as the thunder rolls
I barely hear Your whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away
I'll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
Every tear I've cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm
I remember when
I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry
You raised me up again
My strength is almost gone
How can I carry on
If I can't find You
As the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away
I'll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
Every tear I've cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm
I lift my eyes unto the hills
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
The Maker of Heaven and Earth
I lift my eyes unto the hills
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
The Maker of Heaven and Earth
I'll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
Every tear I've cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm
A calm day from CVEMoreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for you... 1 Samuel 12:23a

From all of us at CVE, Love, Bill and Joan
