"He's got the whole world in His hands..."
Thank God for the end of Ike and the destruction. I am flabergasted by the total devistation of Boliver Island and Galveston.
My home was spared any physical damage. I appropriately feel humbled by this fact. My power was restored last night at 6:45 pm and now I have "power restoration guilt." So many of my friends are most likely still without I'm sorry to say.
This hurricane was one to learn new facts regarding hurricanes. For instance, it was on the water surge level a cat4. On a wind level a Cat2. I have never heard a seperation of water and wind surges until Ike. This storm was more powerful that Carla in 1961 because of the water surge category. We live and learn !
This morning, I am Grateful and Thankful that/for...
I and my loved ones are safe and alive
the power is back on in my home. I keep wondering if it will go out again. I'm not feeling sure of it just yet
many of my clients from work are safe, alive with no damages to some damages but, repairable
One client however, has a beach house in Galveston. She absolutely lives through her work week to leave work and hurry to her house there. I have not seen her since the hurricane so have no idea what her results are. I hope for the best for her but fear the worst. I do not fear for her life, I do fear for her happiness and devistation if her beach home is in ruins. Oh sure, she can probably rebuild. I have just watched her for 2 1/2 years and her joy of going to her "heaven on earth" every Friday. Theresa, you are in my prayers !
the street lights are getting repaired and workable - slowly. It took over an hour to go to Bellaire and back to work yesterday on my lunch break
the animals of people who had to evacuate were taken care of this time - up front (thank you St. Francis)
as other's have told me, I too got to know a couple of my neighbors that I previously did not know
that my coworker who was verbally using me as his "kick the dog" object for a couple of days has now suddenly shaped up since I threatened to go to Human Resources about it. And my boss stopped justifying his bad behavior too, I might add. Really, you two !!!!!!
It is shameful that the above is so commonplace (in the workplace) and some do not know how to get relief. I almost quit over this mess the second day of it. Had the situation not turned around, I would have made good on my threat. I may or may not have gotten resolution from HR but, at least it got the situation resolved just at the mention - just say'n...
for God's Grace and forgiveness. I am not an ideal Christian or Catholic. I wish I was better
I take solice in the fact that Mother Theresa had her doubts, blank areas of fellowship with God, etc. Yet, I know she kept her diligence up. I give up and wander in the wilderness (so to speak) until I finally realize that I can not do it by myself. Then I go running back to God for help and love and forgiveness.
I can't, He can, I think I'll let Him.
Thank YOU
