Say won't you Say

Rita 05

In my lifetime I've never experience any kind of natural disaster here in Texas. This last week has been one that I will never forget. Monday I was making plans to travel to College Station to spend the weekend with Kim and try and catch our Bobcats take on her Aggies in Football, and just have a relaxing weekend seeing my friend! Well by Wednesday my plans would begin to change as word got spread like wildfire that Hurricane Rita was on the way and that Galveston, Houston, and all the surrounding cities were going to be potentially destroyed and were encouraged to evacuate. Friends here at school had families sitting in traffic attempting to get out of Houston for like 12-20 hours, Gas Stations were running out of gas, Grocery Stores were running out of Bread and Water......This was just mass chaos of of the worst kind.

Thursday night at Cru we took some time to just worship God in Song and then to get into groups and pray for the events to potentially occur here in Texas this weekend. It gave me much more of a Peace about things.

Now I sit here in San Marcos Texas at 9am on Saturday morning looking out my window to what appears to be a Sunny, a little windy, but beautiful day! I'm not nieve, I know how quickly things can change when it comes to the weather, esspecially in Texas....a blink of an eye and you have a season change, hahaha. But, it looks like things here are going to turn out just fine. As for the Texas/Louisianna Coast, I still dont know, but I know the Lord is in complete control and he's already proven his soivereinty, by the mere fact that the hurricane was a cat 5 and was headed straight for Houston, and now it is barely a cat 3 and its path turned quite a bit and the affects of this one are going to be nothing like Hurricane Katrina's. Praise God for that!
