Hope

"The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. HE cares for those who trust in Him". Nahum 1:7

News of hope. Heather talked to a friend who's family rode out the storm and live around the corner from us. There was no flood damage in Brookwood. Power is spotty. Watching the Weather Channel and seeing that NASA road one is driveable. All good signs.

Robert was in the breakfast area of our hotel talking and finding people who were also evacuated. Some from our area. He was able to share with them the news we had heard. He said you could see relief begin to come over people's faces.

Will keep you posted

So GLAD to hear that good news is coming from your area!! We've been watching the news & praying for all of you. Thank you for blogging...it helps ease the nerves for those of us so far away. We will continue to pray for Andrew's safety as I'm sure he'll be VERY busy in the days ahead. Love, The Illinois Thompsons

I guess I should update everyone about Andrew too. He is working his third straight shift. Most of the morning shift did not make it into work - a shift is now 12 hours during an emergency. Pray that his truck (outside) hasn't had any damage.

Moved you all to the top of my prayer list this week! What an answer to prayer to read your blogs from today! This am, the poem at the end of my devotions read, "Tho' the stormy clouds hover o'er me, God my pilot goes before me. He sends the rainbow with the rain." Love to you all from San Diego!
