Oh My WORD!!! What day is it?!? That's the sort of week I've had :)
We were evacuated from our home Sunday afternoon because of the rising water. We've been staying with Ben's parents with NO COMPUTER AND NO INTERNET. And yes, I know you're wondering how I have survived without blogging...the answer is sugar and carbohydrates and NO running...I have 10 extra pounds to prove it...no worrie, I show ya pics later, HA! :)
My tiny-town is more than devastated...I can't even go into it yet. I thought the tornado was bad...but now the entire town has flooded and I have no words...just a sick feeling in my stomach. Please pray the amazing people here.
We just had a few feet of water in our basement, which considering what so many others are going through, is simply not a big deal.
I have pics I'll post later...
I have missed you ALL!!! And thank you for the emails...how nice to be loved :) Can I call you my fan club?!? You're all amazing.
Couple last things....AB - totally praying for you girlie :) Jamie - that blog idea sounds fantastic, you'll have to fill me in more :)
Love,
me

Sarah,
ReplyDeleteSo happy to see a post...I was thinking today this is very unusual for you to go this long between posts and praying all was ok. So sorry to hear Tiny Town is enduring more loss. Know that I'm praying. Sure wish I could do more. Hang in there, my friend.
Blessings,
Tracy
Hi Sarah! So good to hear from you, I've been praying for you and your town. So many people have lost so much, it's hard to imagine.
ReplyDeleteHi! I have been wondering where you were and praying everything in tiny town is ok. We take "normal" for granted, don't we? Praying for a little normal in your life today. Welcome back. I missed you!
ReplyDeleteI wish I was there to help you. :(
ReplyDeleteSo good to hear from you! I'm so sorry about all the devastation tiny town is facing. I have been praying for your family and your town and will continue to do so.
ReplyDeleteSarah-I am so thankful to see a post-you are truly in my prayers,it's such a comfort to know God kbows all details even when we don't.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could come help you!
I watch the news and wonder if the reports could be your town.
I hope you feel lifted up from prayers.
Be blessed!

Oh, Sarah. I thought of you tonight when I watched the news, and wondered what was going on since we hadn't heard from you. I'm so happy that your house didn't have much damage aside from the water in the basement...and I'm praying for all those in Tiny Town who have been hit hard. Keep us updated!
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to let you know that I am and have been praying for you and your family as well as others in the Tiny-town church there. So glad that God is in control.
ReplyDeletePraying for you all as you reach out to others who have lost so much already....if not everything material-wise.
SO THANKFUL that there are not tornados or floods or earthquakes or volcanos or tsunamis or.... any other disasters like that in Heaven. Glad our heavenly Home is Secure in Jesus!!!!

Watching the news this morning of all the devastation yesterday in the mid-west and then reading your post...so glad you and your family are fine. I will be praying for you and the people of Tiny Town.
ReplyDeleteSara, I was worried about how your tiny town was faring under this crazy weather. I am glad to know you are okay. So sorry to hear about the town.
ReplyDeleteHang in there friend,
Stephanie
I am so glad you are back. On Monday I thought it was funny you didn't post. On Tuesday I figured you were busy helping tiny town. On Wednesday I figured out that you must have been evacuated.
ReplyDeleteI will continue to pray for tiny town and that you will all have the energy and God's wisdom as you face the next few weeks.
So glad you checked in. Prayers.
ReplyDeletePraying that tinytown folks will keep their chins up!
ReplyDeleteGood to see you back! Missed reading your posts!
ReplyDeleteSorry about the water!
Oh No! I am so sorry your little town is now flooded! How Horrible!
ReplyDeleteStay strong and be of good courage!
Praying for you!!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering where you were. When I was watching the news last night, I was also wondering if you were affected by all the flooding and tornadoes. Now I know. Hope you all get dried out.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to email you the thing about the red shoes. I just remembered you asked me to. OOPS! I forgot.
Glad you're back.
So glad to see your post. I was beginning to worry about you. You have been so faithful to post everyday.
ReplyDeleteI will certainly lift you and your tiny town in prayer. I would appreciate it if you and anyone who reads this could go to my blog for a prayer request that I have posted concerning a family in our church. The address is: Lifeattheparsonage.blogspot.com
The post is titled "Emmie Shai (pronounced like Shay).
God bless you as you deal with the flood and those in your area who have lost so much.
