All is Well

There is a story in the book of 2 kings 4 about the Shunammite's son who had died. This was the same son that Elisha the prophet had prophesied to her that she would conceive. He fell sick and died in her arms. She carries her son's body into the upper room, that herself, and her husband, had built for Elisha to sleep when he came through town.  She is asked twice if things are okay with her, knowing her son is dead, still, she says, "it is well," on two separate occasions.  She did not consult man with her plight. She waited until she reached God's prophet to pour out her complaint. In other words, she was holding her peace until she could touch God.

I have been in the midst of a raging storm for some time now. But, my God is faithful, and all is well.
