Just Do

Over the past week we’ve been helping at our church as we continue to clean up and repair after Ian. There is a sign up sheet to log in when you arrive and when you leave and what tasks you are working on. Parishioners from all walks of life are coming together to sweep, powerwash,…

Recovery

Over the past few days, I’ve learned a lot about the different “phases” of a natural disaster. Since Ian hit our Sunshine state we’ve been in the Response phase, which includes implementing disaster response plans, conducting search and rescue missions, taking actions to protect yourself, your family, your animals, and others, and so on. During…

Our Father, who art in heaven,hallowed be thy Name,thy kingdom come,thy will be done,on earth as it is in heaven.Give us this day our daily bread.And forgive us our trespasses,as we forgive…

Ian

As I sit here on Thursday afternoon in my driveway for a bit I’m not even sure where to begin. First and foremost we are safe and ok. Our power is out, cell service is down connecting with the “outside world” is sketchy and much of our beautiful sunshine state is changed forever. Ian has…

In This Together

Well, here we are, in the midst of the big bad boy Ian. It’s been a long night of waiting, listening, and peeking out windows, (not sure why, LOL you can’t see anything). But, over the past 12 hours, I’ve seen God at work. His children helping each other, working on generators, putting up storm…

A Simple Psalm

Happy Monday everyone. Today’s little blog is short and sweet. It’s going to be a busy week around here, Ian is still not sure where he wants to go and is shifting some as of 11pm last night. As I read this Psalm this morning I thought it quite appropriate for the week ahead. As…

Some Days

Do you ever have those days when you are just out of sorts? You can’t put your finger on it, but the day is just odd. Ya, well I had one of those yesterday. There are just a lot of things going on, juggling multiple projects, closing out a big event, reading up on a…

The Beauty of the Rain

We joke here in SW Florida, in the summertime you can always tell the time of day by when the rain comes through. Yep, it’s a daily occurrence during the summertime, usually about 2 o’clock the skies turn gray, and boom they open up with the rain. These past few weeks though, the daily shows…

Offer it Up

A good friend of mine would give me this advice whenever I would talk with her and share a challenge, or a situation that was happening. I’d be frustrated, or upset that things weren’t going as I felt they should. Yes, you guessed it, I couldn’t control the situation. She would look at me and…

Stop, Breathe…

It’s so easy to feel like you’re the main juggling act in a circus. You’re dealing with work, kids’ activities, perhaps you’re caring for parents, community activities, your short staffed at work, and the list goes on… What day is it? Where do I need to be, did I forget that appointment? The day to…
