Tragedy Strikes In Georgia


The reason that I have not posted recently is that I have become frustrated with the ability of our nations leaders to really represent the people from their respective districts and how those leaders have allowed this great nation to become weakened by their socialist leaning politics. Failing to listen with both ears and speaking with only one mouth!

If that was not enough, the sweetest woman that I love became a victim of the floods in Georgia. With God's love and blessing he allowed both she and her daughter to be away from the house when the Sweetwater Creek decided to flood her two year old subdivision with over 10 feet of water. The picture posted (green house) is of her house and the water level as of Tuesday, September 22nd. The window you see is her second floor. This area was not considered to be in a flood plain.

We have started to recover but we will require your prayers to make certain that God's will, will be done with replacement or rebuilding of this once beautiful home. And that she and her daughter will be able to have a wonderful house again. Rebuilding their life will be difficult but she remains dedicated to her faith in God and her love of Jesus Christ.

These are my words!

Oh my goodness! You are all in my prayers. Thank goodness they were not home. Wow, that is a LOT of water. How terrible! I am praying.

Ron,

I will definitely be praying for you and your sweetheart and her daughter. I know how it feels to be unexpectantly taken from your home. Does she have a good church family to walk with her through this. Does she need anything? Please let us know, we are here for you as well.

Mary,
Sorry that you had to hear from me this way. Francesca does have a good church family. Thanks for the support. She is staying with family until she moves into an apartment this weekend.

Ron,

Not a flood zone. My heart goes out to the Mom and daughter in the personal loss this represents.

I join my prayers with you and trust all of you will keep your faith up.

Your last post says, "Enough said." I trust that will never be the case. Your words are a blessing, Ron.

Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. In returning and rest you shall be saved; In quietness and confidence shall be your strength. Be worried for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

I am so sorry for you and those you love. To be caught in a flood where no one expected one to occur is quite a surprise.
You will be included in my prayers.

She has begun the clean up and the fix up starts this week. Faith is what keeps us going through this.

ablur,
Thanks for your prayers. It was quite a surprise to get a phone call from a neighbor that the water was over the mailbox and rising.
