Looking to the future, experiencing the present, forgetting the past.
I think this is where alot of flood victims are sitting these days. My best friend Myndi was very lucky, she lost her home but her family is ok. We went to help her try and put the pieces back together yesterday. You would not believe what it is like to drive into that neighborhood. Now that most of the water has receded, all you see are tall piles of peoples lost belongings and sand and mud everywhere, covering everything. The grass is even dirty. The smell is also very overwhelming. It is terrible in the house. It smells like mold. There is already alot of mold. I was emptying her kitchen, did you know you have to throw away everything, even boxed food? I think I threw out $200 dollars worth of food! I threw away all her pots and pans but I first had to empty them of flood water. This can not even begin to describe all the loss. Please think of my friend Myndi. The basement wall collapsed and her front bush is partially in her basement. I am so thankful they are ok, I don' t know what I would do with out her! Pray for her son to get over his fears of Floods and Tornado's as well. Pray they find a new safe home.

After having Jackson (Myndi's 4 yr. old son) here all afternoon yesterday, and hearing him talk about tornadoes, wind, twisters, and floods...and then seeing the devastation of so many families with their homes and personal, cherished belongings (baby pictures, toys, furniture, etc.) I feel so blessed. It's making my situation with daddy gone so insignificant....I pray for all of the families from tornadoes to floods.
