The Storm Approaches

Randy called requesting an updated weather report. I was at the lake so I hurried home to get the latest info. Just called him and gave him the current reports. They are still hard at work. They have the kitchen up now and are preparing to move it. They are now salvaging anything they can that is left before they buckle down to ride out the storm. They are beginning to get the clouds and outer bands and are expecting the rain soon. They are not sure yet where they will ride it out but said they had a couple of options. I told him I hoped that didn't mean tying themselves to the flagpole or something. He assured me they would be safe and not take any unnecessary chances. They are expecting up to 15 inches of rain.

They have had a spring break on one of the trailers and are trying to find parts which is not easy with everyone gone and the stores closed. We serve a big God though and He will provide what they need. We have a crew ready to go down and assist them as soon as the storm passes and they allow people to come in. I'll let you know what items they may need so we can gather them over the next couple of days. With the stores closed and gas being short we will probably need to bring some gas for generators and cooking. We will probably need to bring some food and water. I'm just thinking out loud so I'll wait until I hear for sure what they need.

Right now our job is to pray. Our Father promises in Isaiah 43:2,
'When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze." Let us take comfort in those words as the storm quickly approaches.
