It is amazing how connected we are to
other bloggers.
We share their joys, their sorrows
and, unfortunately. their tragedies.
A few months ago I asked for prayers
for Beth Marie at
after her cancer surgery.
She has been on a long road to recovery
and has now been hit with another
life altering situation.
Here is what Ramblinon posted about Beth:
Beth's area was badly stricken by a tornado including Beth's home. She happened to have been in a restaurant with her son when the tornado came through. It blew out a window in her kitchen throwing shards into the living room. Beth would have been in the kitchen then making supper for her son and herself but The Lord is good. There is no power of course and she said roofs were torn off other apartments there but hers remains. A fallen tree destroyed the laundry room, and she and her son had to walk 10 blocks to get back and discover all of this as the police had already roped off the area. There was debris everywhere making the walk difficult.I, personally, don't understand why
God allows bad things to happen to good people.
I know it is not ours to quesstion why-
but that doesn't make it any easier to accept sometimes.
Please, please, please pray for
Beth Marie.
You can leave a message here on my blog
for her and,
when she gets a chance,
she will check in
to read your comments.
God bless you, Beth Marie.
We are ALL praying for you
and for your whole community!
and for your whole community!

Praying for you Beth Marie. We don't know why these things happen, but know that God is holding you in the palm of his hand and will see you through.
So heart breaking this is...praying for Beth Marie and family and all who have lost so much. Praying for the workers and people also who are there helping...
Prayers flowing for Beth Marie.
Prayers for our friend Beth Marie...She has been through so much. I have had her in my thought since the storms were coming. We are praying for all those in need . Just glad to know that Beth is not hurt. xoxo,Susie
I will pray for Beth with all that I have. She is a wonderful person and you are a great friend. God Bless Beth and everyone!
This is a very thoughtful post. I thought about my blog friends just north of us when they had an outbreak of tornadoes. We know from experience how devastating they can be.
Prayers for Beth..
So sorry to hear that your friend was affected, and at the same time, glad to hear she and her son were safe and sound!
My heart goes out to Beth Marie and all the people. Praying for them.
Adding my prayers for Beth and her family and all of those affected... xoxo Julie Marie
Diana,
My prayers are going out to Bethmarie. My daughter has been volunteering to help down in that area for the last two days. She said the devastation is horrible. People have lost so much. It is very sad but the nice thing is people that have had everything taken by this storm are positive about rebuilding their lives. This is where faith and believing in God will see them through.
Kris
oh yes praying for her and all !
I will certainly pray for Beth Marie, Diana. Thank you for sharing this with us. xo
Praising God for His mercy upon Bethmarie. Prayers for her to continue in His love, comfort, grace and peace as she trusts Him through more difficult times.
Praying for Beth, and all of those affected by the storms. Praying for strength for her as she moves forward.
Oh how my heart goes out to Beth Marie and the many others that were affected by the storms. I will certainly be praying for her. Blessings to you, Diana. Hugs!
I am so sorry to hear this news about Beth! Hasn't she had to endure enough already? I remember watching the news showing all of the devestation from those storms and wondering if it was affecting anyone I knew. I will keep her in my prayers.
So glad she wasn't in her kitchen. Prayers for her and all those touched by this storm.
Oh, Diana. This storm has been so heartbreaking to hear about. I will keep Beth Marie in my prayers. Thank you for telling us about her.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Good Morning Diana, I was hoping that I didn't have friends in harms way. Hugs and Prayers are going to Beth Marie,She can use everyone even if they are long distance. I am glad she wasn't home. Hugs and Prayers from Your Missouri Friend.
Oh no, a tornado hit her area! She has been through so much already with her cancer. I am thinking of your friend, Diana, and may God wrap His love around her like a warm blanket.
Thank you for your sweet comment. The camera that I use is a Canon Power Shot. The zoom-in lens is amazing on it. You've been taking great pictures yourself, my dear.
Love,
~Sheri
Prayers to you, your family and friends!
My prayers go out to her and her family
may they recover fast
and may the good Lord guide and provide them with everything they need.
Good of you Nana Diana to spread the word so that more people can pray for them... I believe in the power of prayer.
Thank you for letting me know of this dear woman's crisis. We will be praying for her and her son. I just am amazed on how God had them both away while the storm ravaged her home. I believe for a miracle of helpers for her...
Yours, Roxy
Praying for Beth, and all of those affected by this terrible storm.

Prayers for Beth and her community. She has been through so much. It's a blessing she and her son were away at the time of the storm. xo Linda
thanks for letting us know...but for the Grace of God there go I
Yes, praying for Beth. Of the four bloggers I know in the area, three out of four are present and accounted for. Beth is the one with all this damage to her home. Praise God that she wasn't home!
She will be in my prayers. I am so sorry to hear of all the things that she is going thru. I will be in prayer for her and I will ask my prayer warriors that I know to keep her in prayer as well. GOD is good and he does have a plan for her. This I KNOW
I will pray. It is a miracle that she wasn't home, and didn't get hurt. Sounds like alot of devistation, so sad.

Prayers said for her and all the other people involved! Some people just have so much happen to them that it is unbelievable how they can get through. What a strong lady she is. God was watching out for her by taking her out of the path of danger. Sending a big hug her way.
My prayers go out to Beth Marie and everyone else affected by these storms. xo Laura
Life certainly isn't fair, is it. Beth Marie, just know that lots of people are praying for you and your situations. Pray for healing and handling of the home situation. Bless you.
Judy
Praying for Beth and her son and so many others who were in the paths of the storms that just tore through so many communities this past Sunday. Glad she is ok and wasn't at home when it happened. God knows what he's doing. Just a good lesson on where to place your energy. On things that can be gone in a heartbeat or on things eternal.
I am a friend of Beth's - but I have been late reading blogs. I know she has had cancer and I pray that is over for her. And I did not know about her home. But Beth - I will continue to pray. I don't know why bad things happen to good people. I know people ask 'why me' but I guess sometimes I ask myself 'why not me'? We will find out some day I am sure.
Love, sandie
Diana, I'm so sorry to hear about Beth Marie; having gone through a tornado here in Colorado five years ago, I know first hand of the destruction. Thankful that the Lord protected her. Unfortunately we live in a fallen world where bad things happen all the time; doesn't make it any easier except knowing others are upholding Beth. Praying for the Lord's provision for her!
Hugs, Noreen
We are all friends with Beth us bloggers. Oh my how very sad for her. I will continue to pray for her and son and family. I am so happy they did not get hurt. Sad what happened but es bad things do happen to good people. I just read that book last year.
Thanks for letting us know Di.
I was watching all that on news to think it was one of our dear Bloggers. Beth Marie. Oh Beth love ya girl. We are all praying for you and will continue.
We have been out of power seven hours in my area . Monday.
Our best friends two days. They came over to our place last night and in the day we all met over at the Restaurant in a town where they had power. Wires down in many towns.
We had high winds but nothing like dear Beth had.
Sending prayers and positive thoughts your way, Beth Marie. Thank goodness you and your son are safe.
Beth, I am so sorry to hear of the damage to your home! Continuing to pray for you and all affected by the storms.
Prayers for Beth and all the others who were affected by the storms!

So glad she is safe, hoping they are assisted in any way they need in the shortest order.
I will be praying for Beth and her community. I pray she stays well and that her home will be restored to order quickly.
Oh, Diana, I'm so sorry! I have Beth Marie and her community in my prayers! Thank you for letting us know.
