You fear what lies ahead. Why? I am here with you now, and I am with you always. How do you know? The sky, air, light, and creatures mirror my presence.

I formed all of these and surround you every day, calling out to you. Yes, I can manage your cares. Bring them to me. Allow me to help you. Name them and talk with me about each one. Follow me no matter how hard your trials. I love you, and I will lead you through all of them. I will set your feet upon a rock. Let me lift you out of the slimy pit. I will put a new song in your heart. Trust me. Here’s how.

Guadalupe River Flood: How to Transform Your Loss into Life-Changing Redemption

July 13, 2025July 13, 2025Posted by Steve Blaising4 Comments

A natural disaster like the July 4 Guadalupe River flood inflicts painful loss for years.

At least 129 people were killed.

Over 160 remain missing.

The Guadalupe River rose 26 feet in less than an hour at dawn on July 4, 2025.

This is worse than a 100-year flood event, according to experts.

Approximately 100 billion gallons of rain fell on Kerr County, more than the daily flow of Niagara Falls.

Is it possible to storm-proof the future?

And later, loss?

Some folks say it’s never wise to camp by a river, especially one in the middle of “Flash Flood Alley,” where a historic flood in August 1978 and another in July 1987 caused multiple fatalities.

But I think it’s fair to say there’s no place in the world to camp without risks.

An old Spanish proverb says, “There is no home which does not at some time know its hush.”

Three decisive steps may set a healing course for anyone drowning in tragedy.
