YUP its Hurricane Season ....

So far in the last week we have had a tropical depression come through and are now starting the watch for Hurricane Gustav. Hurricane season is always full of unexpected excitement .... yes I am doing my best to see it in a positive light. I do try to figure out sometimes in these moments of wait and see what God is trying to teach me. He knows I struggle with unpredictability, can't stand much change at one time and I am not spontaneous, so sometimes I think He is trying to gently teach me to loosen up, take it as it comes and rely on Him more! I am doing my best to do that, I am so thankful He is so loving and gentle with such lessons.

So as it stands we do have a place to go out of the threat of wind and rain. Finding shelter within driving distance is sometimes difficult because hundreds of people are also running from the same storm, hotels are scarce and usually pretty costly. I feel so fortunate though that we will be allowed to stay in the Christian Life Center of a church in Brewer, MS. with my mom and younger sister and my dearest friends the Cunningham's. We will bring our school work and move forward, use the time to explore a new place and wait out the storm until we can return. Now we are in watch mode, using every bit of information we can to make important decisions.Pray for us, I dont know what I will do if there is another super storm to come through, emotionally, financially, just not sure what I would do.
