It's times like these that the Lord puts things in perspective and basically tells me to stop having a pity party for myself because other people are dealing with much more difficult things. My dear friend Jessica Frederick has been in nursing school in Galveston this year, but when hurricane Ike hit, she had to evacuate and leave all of her stuff behind. She has heard that her entire apartment was flooded and that rats have infested the island. Her car that she left behind caught on fire and is completely destroyed.She's going back to the island tomorrow to survey the damage. The worst case scenario is that her whole apartment is destroyed including all of her belongings. I can't even fathom the feelings she's having.
Check out her blog if you'd like... I keep thinking of this verse:
"But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal" - Matthew 6:20
Could we all join together and pray for her?
