Katrina

I've been watching the news alot lately. I'll admit, the destruction is much worse than I expected. The stories of lives in turmoil, death, lost family members and friends, hunger, disease... Christie called me today. She wants desperately to do something. Me too. They say send money. Ok. But what I really want to do is hug them and be with them. Maybe play with the children... bring clothes or something. I don't feel helpless though. Our God is much too big to feel helpless. He will allocate the resources. I'm going through Genesis right now and am blown away by God's constant desire and anguish to have His creation rightly related to Him- to be Holy and to be in communion with Him. That's why Jesus came. And the same God who sent Jesus is still Sovereign, and is very much crazy over His creation. He asks us to trust and abide. Those have been words spoken to me often throughout this summer, and I am reminded of them now. I will pray. And I will trust. Please know that I am not ignorant or naive to know that it might be easier said than done when I am not in the midst of it, and I admit that throughout the day my thoughts were elsewhere, but I still answer to Jesus... and right now I am assured of His love. Good night.
