What a week this has been. My heart has never felt so heavy. I feel so blessed to have all my family and friends accounted for! The Lord is truly amazing. Many of my friends are now without homes, but feel fortunate to still have their lives. Lindsay, one of my best friends, lost her home in Tuscaloosa on the 27th-she is getting married next weekend and is wondering where they will call home after they return from their honeymoon. Jacob(her fiance) and Lindsay's spirits are high, which is a normal thing for these two. Things have really been put into perspective for them-they may have lost material things, but their across the street neighbors lost their lives.
This town that I called home for more than 4 years will never be the same again, but it sure is comforting to know that thousands of people are trying their best to give as much relief as possible. With 400+ people still missing, I pray for their safe return to their families.
For any of you who would like to donate time, money or supplies-here are a couple ideas:
- Alabama Disaster Relief
