Carl is taking advantage of the quiet house before the children return from the movies. We are thankful that we haven’t lost power at this time but won’t be surprised if we fall victim to the strong wind gusts of Florence. The three guest dogs are also resting in the garage and getting used to their new setting.
On the other hand, it is hard to be at peace while my daughter is working as an EMS nurse in Wilmington. I got a text around 11:00 that she and her crew were headed out for a rescue mission. I can’t imagine how it would feel to be battered around by the strong winds and rain while focusing on taking care of a patient.
No one knows the number of days that this hurricane will play havoc on the eastern part of North and South Carolina. I can tell you for myself that I feel physically and mentally exhausted from the days leading up to this storm. But even as difficult as it has been to give up an incredible vacation to Puerto Rico and take in six family members, I can only believe that I am blessed.
I am thankful that I am rooted in God’s word. Knowing that God is sovereign and has a plan in this storm, helps me to take the focus off of myself and on to the people He has placed in my home. As for Carl, he has been a little agitated by all the activity but seems to be coping.
Dear God, please help me to be available to be used to do your will, particularly in trying times like these. Also, please take care of my daughter and the other individuals that are putting their life on the line to save the people of their community.
May God continue to bless you and your family, each one in Jesus name Amen.
Continue to pray for us. Not sure when the little children will be going home. God is good and good all the time.
Thank you, Cora, for all your devotionals. You are amazing…and the Lord is glorified. Whose group are you in this year? I am with Pam Marshall and Nancy Ramondi. Love you, Kathleen

Kathleen, I am going to miss you! I was so sad to hear that we will not be together this year. May God bless you!
