Hurricane Rita

Well, it's Thursday, September 22nd. Hurricane Rita should be hitting us tomorrow night or Saturday morning. We have our couch on top of a table. Our bed has been dismantled. We're working on securing everything. We have a fridge full of water. We got pretty creative on that one. Stephanie, Roscoe, and I will be over at John and Jennifer's during the storm.

It's all so surreal isn't it? Seeing my beloved city evacuated is heart wrenching. Operating in panic mode doesn't help either. My prayer is that each of you is safe and that destruction is minimal. I will try to keep in contact as much as possible, but you know how that goes. Remember Allison? Please be safe. Remember that God will not give us more than we can handle. We may think it's more than we can handle, but He know us better than we know ourselves. God bless you all.


2 Corinthians 12:8-10 (NIV)
8Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. 9But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. 10That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
