When I moved to the lake to be with Blake as he started his new job at a hunting lodge near the MS River, I had no idea that I would soon be surrounded with river water. The MS river had risen drastically and we were having to drive to town on a levee within the first 2 weeks that I moved there. Our drive to the nearest grocery store is about 35 miles-- so imagine how long it takes on a bumpy, gravel levee where cows have the right away! It was terrible. Animals that once roamed all the land available to them, were now bunched up on the few tiny spaces that were not flooded with water. Homes were literally under water. So sad. Thankfully, the water did not reach our home that is NOT on stilts like most homes here are.
It looks like the worst is yet to come as far as flooding goes in the next few weeks. It has been all over the news and they are already warning us that our homes could possibly be flooded. I desperately hope this does not happen, but at least we have a "heads up". Please keep us and all of the residents here in your prayers as we prepare for this historic event. To learn more I have posted a link below:

"Sometimes your nearness takes my breath away; and all the things I want to say can find no voice. Then, in silence, I can only hope my eyes will speak my heart."

The grace of God exalts a man without inflating him, and it humbles a man without debasing him. The person who strives for excellence says, "I am what I am by the grace of God."

Regardless of the road you travel--Lonely Lane, Brokenhearted Boulevard, or Poverty Parkway--there's no place you can go that God can't follow. No heartbreak, no betrayal, no rejection, no failure, no disappointment, and no evil can stop Him from coming near. God will always come for His people. He cannot fail you. He... will never quit you, never forget you, and never leave you.
It may be unfulfilled. It may be unrestored. But when anything that's shattered is laid before the Lord, just watch and see, it will not be unreedemed.
