So much devastation – your civic authorities must hardly know where to begin :0( God protect you and yours, and keep you safe. May there be a space now for the waters to subside xxx

In reply to Ganeida. I can't imagine what it must be like, Ganeida. It makes me think of those in New Orleans, too. I look forward to hearing what you thought of the link.... xxoo

Wow. It looks like Brissie last year ~ only maybe not quite so bad. We regularly get those sort of torrential downpours that can put our yard under water in a matter of minutes but as we live on top of a hill we are spared the worst of it. Sadly it will be even worse when the water starts receeding. It will stink & the mud is sooo hard to remove. I am so sorry for anyone who has flooded. Their homes will be unlivibale in for months after the water goes.

PS thank you for the link. I did go & sticky, just haven’t got back to you yet! 🙂

In reply to Shari C.. I told Michael a few days ago before the biggest part of the storm hit, "This is starting to feel like Seattle." Little did we know.... Thank you for your good wishes, Shari.

WOW, Julie!!! What a storm!!! We get rain all the time, but never like that… sounds like a monsoon! Glad you and yours are safe – on earth and in God’s arms.

In reply to Kay in UK.

Thank you for your comments, Kay. Starting the day in praise – that’s the way, for sure. Such a needed reminder. I watched the video you sent – shocking and terrible! Oh my….

And I think “Blessed Be Your Name” is one of the best songs in the last decade – full of truth. xxoo

I followed your link to see more pictures and I was saddened. Thankfully, no-one was killed. But there will be hard times ahead for those affected by the flooding.
This reminded me of an event here in Cornwall where a flash flood enveloped the little village of Boscastle. Again, amazingly, no lives were lost. Interestingly, the first building to be destroyed was the museum of witchcraft.
Here’s a link that shows what happened back in 2004:

When these things happen,it’s good to be reminded of what we have, and unfortunately so often take for granted. Lately, each morning as I awaken, God has been reminding me of how blessed I am and I usually start the day praising Him for the blessings He is pouring into my life.

One of my most favourite songs is ‘Blessed Be Your Name’ by Matt Redman. The lyrics help me to keep me balanced.

Well said Julie, very well said. I experienced very much the same feelings during the wild fires here in So Cal. The Lord indeed lead you to a strong tower for a house. More Blessings to you my friend. I hope to see you soon!! BTW ~ so sorry if I woke you up with my texting ~ sometimes I forget the time difference. Hugs ~
