Tsunami!

Well we survived Tsunami 2012! I wanted to share this story because for me it represents how God see us and takes care of us. How much more will he take care of us than the birds of the air... I had been feeling kinda low the previous day, the familiar ache of feeling the lack of friendship, uncertainty of my choices regarding Deveraux's school, and just you know "the blahs". The next evening Andrew and I were talking about our house and I was expressing to him that I wanted our home to be used more and the spaces to be filled. So fast forward a couple of hours when I was about to go to bed and listened to a voice mail around 10 pm and heard there was a Tsunami warning and then the sirens went off. Well Andrew and I went into action as we heard from one family and called other family members on island who were going to come stay with us as we are in a safe place. So I awoke to 12 guests as we had pancakes and eggs and I felt full as the pictures around me were seeing people we love gathered around the table, my dad flipping pancakes, my husband having a good chat on the lanai and not at work, Deveraux loving life with all our guests, and Anderson curiously looking at Sawyer, a brand new 2 1/2 week old baby. This is what we were meant to do and the open house we want to offer! It just felt right and I was ready to start a bed and breakfast (he he). Thank you God for noticing what we need and Your provision is not lost on me, I get it and I thank You! Thank you for using our lives and man it feels good! (I don't have any pictures on my camera from this event because I have been dealing with a broken camera, for any who know me, that is a small tragedy. But the pictures remain with me!) The first time I wrote this I forgot to even include in this entry anything about Japan. A picture of how sheltered my life is. I am so out of touch of tragedy around the world. I feel very aware of wanting for myself and my family for us to be aware of need around us and to invest our lives. I am open to see how that unfolds!
