Evacuating!

We were supposed to have a field trip today at Longue Vue Gardens instead we are evacuating. This morning the seminary announced that campus will close at 3 p.m. today and that all campus families should leave by 12 noon tomorrow. Mandatory evacuation. We decided to get a leg up on traffic (we hope) and pack up and head out today. So we've packed up as much as we can stuff into our suitcases. I've tried to pack all of Jathan and Keeleigh's clothes and our irreplacable pictures. I'm still holding out hope that absolutely nothing will happen...no flooding, no destruction and it very well may not. At this point no one knows where exactly Gustaf is going to hit or how strong it will be but in the back of my mind I wonder. I wonder why God wanted us to come here if we're going to leave 2 months later? I wonder if the hurricane does hit here, if the levies don't hold what condition will our home be when we return?


It's just weird to leave and not know.



But leave we shall! Just as soon as Jackie gets out of the shower. How is it that I'm always waiting on him? = )



Here's the view from around my apartment....I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who decided to pack A LOT.

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Isaiah 41:10
