I will praise you in this storm

This song has a great message, and I love the fact that the story behind it is told at the beginning of the video. God is in control...I remember the day that I realized that I wasn't going to be able to carry Mac to full term. It probably really hit me 3 days after my blood pressure was high. I had already been to the hospital twice due to the severity of the blood pressure (I was 27 weeks pregnant) and had been administered 2 steroid shots to help mature Mac's lungs. I prayed for God to give me the strength to do what needed to be done. I knew from Dr. Burns that he would be sending Mac to Baptist Hospital in Little Rock, so I started doing research on the NICU there. I remember telling my mom that I had a feeling that I wouldn't be able to carry Mac to 32 weeks like Dr. Burns wanted me to, but I knew that Mac would be ok. God had given me peace with what was about to happen to me. I knew he wouldn't let me down...I also had the feeling that whenever Mac was born, he would have 2 guardian angels there in the operating room, two extraordinary men that Randall and I had loved very much while they were still walking on earth...my Pepaw Sidney and Randall's Grandpa Mack. Although I struggled with leaving Mac in Little Rock when I was released from the hospital, I knew God had placed him in very capable hands. I love this song, and if you ever find yourself out of hope, listen to this and know that God is there...
