Hello my faithful sisters!
I would like to request prayers on behalf of all those who are in the path of Hurricane Ike. There are many in the Texas area, especially those near the Gulf that will suffer great loss...and prayerfully, that will not include lives.
Please also pray for me, my family and those around us as we are told that Ike will be a tropical storm by the time it reaches our area, with winds up to 35 mph to 45 mph with gusts up to 55 mph. There is also a possibility that we will experience isolated tornadoes and much inland flooding.
I'm off to put water in large coolers, plastic bins, etc. (so we can still go potty, in case of a power outage) and other emergency preparedness gear.
Thank you in advance for your prayers. I will be sure to update you as soon as possible.
May the LORD our God richly bless you for your faithful prayers!

By the way, Twinkies and Ho-Ho's are a necessary part of an Emergency Preparedness Kit, right?

Hi Sunny! You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers! It seems that the US weather is keeping a few of my online sisters in my prayers lately, and thankfully we have a God who is able to protect and provide! Love Paula :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Sunny-

Praying for you tonight!

Lori,
ReplyDeleteI'm holding back tears right now, after your reading your comment.
I'd like to pass on some encouragement for you to pass onto Twinkle Mom. My husband comforted me by telling me that her husband will be safe and is in a very strong building. My husband is in law enforcement and has had to do things similar, so he knows.
Please tell her we are fervently praying and that we know that God will keep her husband safe as He covers him with His wing.
Thank you for letting us know, so we can pray for her!
Bless you sister,
Sunny
