Well, here were go again. I can not believe another hurricane issue! We did not have the energy to leave again. I never dreamed I would stay but we just didn't feel we could do it again. As I write this I am in my room with my kids and Brad. We have the TV on to watch news and flash lights by the bed. I am praying hard they fall a sleep and God helps them sleep through it. I am starting to get a little nervous but doing well. We prayed so hard over our home and I am trusting God. I just want it to be over. My biggest concern is no electricity . I take 2-3 baths a day and I LOVE my electricity. lol. I am the girl that used to shave when I went camping. LOL
Anyway, I got online and saw some things that broke my heart. I saw a picture of a husband and wife with cops walking down the road in the pouring rain. Behind them was their home on fire. All they had was the bag in their hands. I saw another picture of a man in water up to his neck. He was trying to save his car. And the worst was a family stranded on top of their home with rain and the water was very high. The reporter was saying they are not going to be able to rescue them because it was so bad. THIS IS HURTING MY HEART. I can't see them surviving . Life can really WAKE you up fast. Within 2 weeks you have Baton Rouge without lights. Now Galveston being destroyed as we speak. Not to mention Houston maybe getting it hard and not sure how it will be with the storm here yet. It seems God is helping our area and I am praying it misses us. We went through so much 3 years ago with Rita and just left last week with Gustav.
There are many things in life uncertain .However, I am certain I serve a good God. He is so wonderful and so worthy to be praised. I feel it is a honor to serve Him. My pray is we will be sensitive of others needs. For us to think more of others then we do of ourselves. I was just telling my sister tonight that I find the more we get caught up in thinking of ourselves the more unhappy we become. I used to have so many friends years ago. I did so much for others and I can honestly say I don't do much anymore. I am sorry if I seem like I am going on and on . I just feel we are all going to feel this storm in some way. They are taking about the gas truly being affected all over.I just want you all to know I am asking God to help my heart to be more sensitive to others needs. I also told my sister that I just had to do something to come out of my own world. I really want to start working at a shelter or something. Godhas really been dealing with my heart to work with the elderly lately. It is in my heart to do it. I am just going to have to do make myself get started. I don't ever want anything bad to happen to anyone . I just feel if we have to go through something we might as well let it bring out the good in us. I pray everyone is safe. Take care and God BLESS us all!
