I have to start by saying I cannot believe I have posted 8 days. As I think about the next 22 days I hope there is much to write about. There should be with everything that is going on in our lives, the hurricane that just blew by last night and this morning. I will add pictures of the sky today after the storm. It is a process since I am away from home.
As we are in Adrian for the hurricane exodus many have donated to the cause by giving food and necessities. Many people, churches and even the local Wal*mart brought a huge truck load of goodies. It is amazing the generosity of people towards others in trouble. I fully believe God has moved in the hearts of others to make this time easier on those of us going through this time away from our homes.
As we have talked and spent time with others, we know and don't know, going through the same thing God has been working to show the people who don't attend church somewhere that He is looking out for them and The Church of the Nazarene are a compassionate people. Many local displaced people have been around for years and years and never knew about this camp ground. I heard many conversations of others talking just today of how they can't believe how nice it was for the camp care takers to open up everything to anyone in need. I am thankful to be part of this denomination. Jeff and Peggy are amazing people and great friends.
This few days my low carb lifestyle has been shot, but I am not giving up. It has just proven a little more difficult in this situation. No worries I will do my best in this time and get back on track ASAP. God had helped me to not get overly focused with the food and feelings of discouragement. There are times in our lives that are not exactly as we desire, but we make due with what we have and change what we can when we can.
Through this time I have probably gained a few pounds back--no worries all is good and will be okay.
The county emergency service where we live has said we can return home tomorrow at 7am although we most likely will be without power. My guys say lets hit the road and get home, sleep in our own beds and see what damage if any we have. We will see. I am guessing we will leave after church.
It's time for a good shower and to finish my mocha cappuccino.
Until tomorrow...
