Greetings and salutations long lost comrades :)
I'm coming to the close of my two week break, and my what a marvelous break it has been thus far.
I got to spend the whole week at BYC camp! I was only supposed to go for a few days, but boy am I glad I got to stay the rest of the time! God blessed me at that camp with more faith than I've ever had, amazing services twice a day, and solidification of old friendships along with some new ones!
God is just so good and I will never forget that camp :)
After that wonderful, hot, week my dear friend and kindred spirit, Amber, spent five days with me. We ran up and down the roads everyday with fun adventures and more fellowship with friends from camp.
Yesterday we had, I'm thinking, some type of a tornado or super severe storm come through town. It hit so fast we didn't even have time to figure out what was going on! My dad and I had just walked through the door from taking Amber to the airport when the storm blew in.
My sister-in-law looked out the window and yelled that a tree had fallen on my dad's rental car (the one we just climbed out of two minutes before the storm hit). We looked out at the neighbor's house and a tree had fallen in their garage and smashed their camper along with a bit of the roof.
With much prayer from Haley and I, our God and Master of the wind protected out home. Almost every house on our street had a tree smash down on them. Praise God for His mighty hand of protection!
Today we have no power and, from word of the city, won't for two to four days. My family is now scattered around town, staying with friends that have power and air.
For this weekend and the remainder of my two week break I get to stay with my good friend Cheyenne. It will be nice for the two of us to have the house to ourselves. I foresee lots of cooking, laughing, and listening to the Word of God :)
A pretty good end to my vacation, wouldn't you say?
P.S. I have three baby watermelons and a baby eggplant growing in my garden! (Which got a little battered in the storm but is still standing strong!)
:D

ReplyDeleteI am thankful the Lord protected you all through the storm! I was so thankful no one I knew was injured or had severe damage done to their home! God is great! You are so encouraging Kim, God bless you and the remainder of your break :)
Thanks Lin :) I'm glad everyone is safe too. God bless you and Aaron as well!
DeleteGod is faithful! I was so happy to spend time with you and your family. I love you all dearly!! and those baby watermelons, and eggplant are adorable. Today i ate a grape tomato from my garden! yum! I'll be needing a machete though to cut through the jungle of weeds.. ;).. it'll be good for me, i suppose. So thankful you are safe.
