Flood Update
"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?"
Matthew 6:25-27
Our world has been rocked over the past few weeks. Completely turned upside down. Something we were not prepared for...in any way...what so ever.
But God has been good to us. So very good to us.
Blake and I found out that we had to evacuate our home in a day's notice. I can't even begin to explain how I felt when I got the news. Honestly....numb is the only word that comes to mind. Looking back now, I can just remember sitting at our house, staring at the wall...thinking about where I should start? What should we take? Thinking. Not moving. Not doing a thing.
Blake was still having to work in the midst of all this craziness so the pressure was on to get it done in the best way I could. Can we say stressed? God bless our families. Blake's Mom came and helped out with the smaller things and my Dad rented a truck and brought a crew and packed up all of the big stuff. I didn't lift a finger. Bless him.
In a matter of two days, the entire first 2 1/2 years of our marriage were packed in boxes and hauled to Sallis. Of course, I am thrilled to be back home. So happy. But I honestly never imagined we would be back home due to these circumstances. Amazingly, the crazy, high strung, easily stressed Ashlee that I know myself to be....has been completely calm and at peace throughout this entire process. God is good. We had a house to move right into and tons of help to do it. Everything seems to be falling into place. I give all the credit to God.
Thank you, Lord, for loving us unconditionally. You have never failed us. You continue to amaze me every day. I love you with my whole heart. Amen.
