This feels like a dream....

I am sitting here at Timberline Lodge...waiting. And waiting. And praying. And praying. For those of you not updated by Facebook, Chris' cousin and best friend Anthony is somewhere on Mount Hood. He went up with 2 friends - Luke and Katie. Yesterday, they found Luke's body...His family is here with us. Anthony and Katie are still up there somewhere. There will be air support sometime today, but no on foot searching because of avalanche danger.

i feel like i'm in a dream and i should be waking up any second

i'll be home, and anthony will be making some crazy concoction in the kitchen and asking if i want an espresso...this isn't real...

BUT. This is what I KNOW. 1. We serve a God who is bigger than a mountain. He is bigger than the weather. He is bigger than any scenario we can imagine. He has the power over everything. And He has a plan and He knows what He is doing.. 2. There are people around the WORLD praying. It's been so incredible to watch the body of Christ to what it was created to do. The power of prayer can move mountains! 3. Anthony knows what he is doing. He is a very capable climber, and if anyone can walk of that mountain, it's him. 4. The people in charge of the Search and Rescue know what they are doing. They know this mountain.

I hate this waiting.......if you are praying, pray for clear weather today. Pray hard. I have a hard time believing that God is done with Anthony's life...but - no matter what happens, God is sovereign and His ways are perfect..
