In the dark of the midnight have I oft hid my face,
While the storm howls above me, and there's no hiding place.
'Mid the crash of the thunder, Precious Lord, hear my cry,
Keep me safe till the storm passes by.

'Til the storm passes over, till the thunder sounds no more,
'Til the clouds roll forever from the sky;
Hold me fast, let me stand in the hollow of Thy hand,
Keep me safe 'til the storm passes by.

Many times Satan whispers, "There is no need to try,
For there's no end of sorrow, there's no hope by and by."
But I know Thou art with me, and tomorrow I'll rise
Where the storms never darken the skies.

'Til the storm passes over, till the thunder sounds no more,
'Til the clouds roll forever from the sky;
Hold me fast, let me stand in the hollow of Thy hand,
Keep me safe 'til the storm passes by.

When the long night has ended and the storms come no more,
Let me stand in Thy presence on the bright peaceful shore;
In that land where the tempest, never comes, Lord, may I
Dwell with Thee when the storm passes by.

'Til the storm passes over, till the thunder sounds no more,
'Til the clouds roll forever from the sky;
Hold me fast, let me stand in the hollow of Thy hand,
Keep me safe 'til the storm passes by.

My eyes are sore from crying.

I'm doing a little better. Stephen was over here for 5 hours and all he did was hold me tight and talk to me and hold me and talk to me. Pretty sure I ran the whole gamut of emotions in that 5 hours.

There are a number of deep-seated reasons that I am struggling with his parents' move. I refuse to go into any of them. I'm still having a really difficult time though. I don't think I have ever felt pain this intense before. Not even when I was breaking up with Nate--and that was INTENSE.

I guess God has me on a 4-year schedule? "Okay, it's been about 4 years, let's put Stephanie through this now..."

Sorry. As I said, I've run through the whole gamut of emotions and continue to do so. Sarcasm/bitterness is one of them.

Stephen has been really good to me. I can't believe he hasn't left yet. I would have left by now.

Please pray for Stephen--not me. Obviously, I need prayer. But he needs more. He has a full-time job and I kept him way too late tonight.

Anyway. I'm going to go to bed now. I'm so exhausted I think I'll get to sleep. Good night, everyone.
