| Evacuee
Well, about 3 weeks ago I was helping the katrina evacuees...and now that me and John have just moved to beaumont a week and a half ago...we are the evacuees! We did get out ok though, we are in Jackson, Mississippi-safe and sound. It is on average about a 6 hour trip from beaumont to jackson, and yesterday it took us 15 hours! It was NOT fun at all!! I have been watching the news, and it is really headed right through beaumont, and I have to admit, I am really nervous about my things being ok=( We brought what we could in the car...but still had to leave many things of sentimental value to us....I know, we should just be so thankful that we are ok....and we are....but it is hard to think about. I am sorry that I have not updated lately, I have not been able to get online long enough. But now...waiting out the storm in Jackson..I have time=) We really are liking it in Beaumont...the church people are sooo sweet, and we just have felt really good about being there. I do not understand God's ways, but I do know that His ways are perfect. Thank you all for your prayers!! I have another situation that is heavy on my heart tonight too, it is with my sister, and I cant really go into any detail...she just needs a miracle, and I know that God has one for her. (Thank you Lord ahead of time!)I love you all!! | | |
| Hurricane Katrina
We survived Hurricane Katrina..or should I say...we are surviving hurrican Katrina! This massive hurricane has really left terrible destruction, not only in Mississippi, but also very terribly in New Orleans and other parts of Louisiana and Alabama. I feel so blessed that I still have all of my family, and all of my belongings. I can not imagine how these people are feeling that completely lost everything, and still cannot go home! It is so heartwrenching...I wish there was more I could do. Me and John did not have power for about a day and a half, and most of my family here in Jackson still do not have power. We have ALOT of evacuees in Jackson, and because of that there is alot of craziness. There is a big shortage on gas, and ice...and of course thousands and thousands of people still without electricity. I appreciate everyone of you that has prayed, not necessarily for me and my family, but for all of these that have lost soo very much, and all of those still left in new orleans that are in desperation.
I did not realize when I began writing this post that it would be so heavy, but I guess my heart is just very heavy for all these people.
I hope all who have read are blessed today, and will remember all these lives in your prayers. | | |
| MOVING!!!...Thats right, me and John have accepted a position doing music ministry at a church in Beaumont Texas. It is only 5 hours from all my family in mississippi, and his younger sis lives in houston which is only a little over an hour from there. We are really excited..but they want us there in exactly 2 weeks!AHH!! thats right...the 9th of September will be moving day. I am a little overwhelmed...since I havent packed my first box as we speak! I am really excited,and happy, but a little sad too...I know that it is just mixed emotions because all of my family is here, I mean ALL of my family-aunts, uncles, cousin, my poppa.... Its so wierd, its the first time in my life that we have all lived in the same place. But God has prepared me and John's hearts, we are ready,and excited for the new ways that God is going to use us to advance His Kingdom. Well I better get back to surfing the net for a Job for me!! Have a GREAT weekend!! | | |
| So it has been forever since I have blogged...sorry for the few of you that read this craziness!! Things have been pretty hectic and I have not been in the office much to write. Nothing real exciting is happening....I am working hard(or hardly working) at getting real estate stuff up and going. I have my first closing in 2 weeks!!Yippee!!! In normal terms I will sell my first house and get paid for it in 2 weeks!!! They had to take my grandfather to the hospital yesterday,they think he has had a small stroke...but are still running tests...so pray for him if you get a chance...poor little fella=( We are having an scavenger hunt/all nighter for our youth tonight and I am so not in the mood....dont you hate it when that happens...I hope that I am not mean to any youth tonight....Iwont be..I will just feel like it=) Me and John have been looking a little for a house to rent because our lease at our apts. is up in a month, and I think I found us something today!! Lets hope, we havent gone and seen it yet, but it sounds cute...we like our apts. its just that he feels confined musically, because he is always worried about disturbing our neighbors, yeah hes a nice guy, I tell him not to worry, but he still does...so then he feels musically repressed I suppose...so hopefully this house thing will work out! Its just so hard to find houses for rent around here that arent like $1000 a month....and we just can not afford that right now...but this one is only $700 a month cause my dad knows the people...so yeah hopefully it works, and I will quit my rambling about it. I am so excited!! My bestest friend Candice Lynn Oh is coming to town next weekend...She is pregnant and I have not seen her at all...I do not know why she has to live in colorado....I miss her soo much!!! She is one of those friends that knows me heart and soul and its just so great....not too "friends" that I have close by here know me like she does, except my sister of course! God is soo good!Me and John are so blessed!! And even when I dont feel like we are I will claim it because I know its true. I think that God gets very tired of me sometimes...I am like doubting thomas....I always want evidence of things, I do not know why I am such a realist,but I just am, I need proof that things are happening, and I get frustrated with myself for this as well...UHHHH......I m sorry that I am rambling...I must go for now. Bye. | | |
