I just wanted to take a minute to thank God for keeping us through Hurricane Rita. Jake and I had to be apart due to his job, but God protected us both and continues to do so. Jake, I love you and miss you.
I am amazed at the way that God has proven himself to us already. I think this experience sums it up best:
Jake went to check our house and saw that everything was okay including our new arbor out back. This arbor is well-built but is not anchored into the ground. If you would have seen the damage in our area, you would know that the arbor SHOULD NOT be standing. What God showed me is that He made that arbor stronger than it should be, and that is what He will do for all of us who are working, displaced, and unsure after Hurricane Rita. He will be our strength and the "lifter of our heads." May God bless all of you especially those (including my wonderful husband) who are working to restore life to normal in Southwest Louisiana. --Amanda, Proverbs 3:5&6
