Just because you don’t see the sun rise doesn’t mean it hasn’t.
Have a little faith…believe.

Help–Hurricane Michael
I live in the Panhandle of Florida, approximately 75 miles from where Hurricane Michael devastated Mexico Beach, and Panama City. Other much smaller communities were destroyed as well but aren’t talked about right now.
I have posted pictures of my family and I having fun, with no damage. It so could have been us if the storm hadn’t turn. We were blessed by a cold front coming from the North, that’s it. We are helping by donating items that we purchased for the storm and didn’t use. If you feel the need to help but don’t know where to start please see below. If nothing else, please pray for those affected and those helping.
Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office
Many of us are being contacted by family, friends, church groups and community members wanting to do something to help in regard to Hurricane Michael.
On a consolidated effort we are recommending Volunteer Florida. They are located in Tallahassee and are the lead agency for volunteerism in Florida. Their board of commissioners are appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Florida Senate.
They can be reached at www.volunteerflorida.org info@volunteerflorida.org https://www.facebook.com/VolunteerFlorida and 850-414-7400. If you go to their website, you initially have 2 options, “donate” money or “volunteer” to choose from. Those links will take you to other pages to fill in information.
There are a lot of people that want to deliver supplies. For law enforcement, public safety, emergency workers, residents, animals, etc. We are trying to determine needs, the receiving point and coordinator for those efforts. It’s a huge effort and could sometimes cause significant logistical complications on site, and please don’t recommend anyone just head that way without coordination. They may arrive and not be allowed to enter the area, nowhere to deliver and the community doesn’t know it’s there to collect.
Blessings.
Hurricane Michael Part 3
We are fine. The eye went to Mexico Beach, and I am grateful and sad.
Our family and friends in general are fine.
We ended up playing cards and having hotdogs. Super fun, and so grateful it was just a little rain and wind.
Devastation for so many in Panama City and in the path of this storm. Prayers for those not so far away from us.
Blessed.
Hurricane Michael Part 2
Have no idea about electricity or being able to update, so please know that this post is…from Tuesday. I will update as soon as I can.
Blessings.
Hurricane Michael
As we wait on Hurricane Michael…
We are staying. We are not in a water or in a flood zone, although if you remember from Hurricane Nate in 2017, we lost a tree just from the rain.
As we get up this morning, Michael is a category 2, but moving farther East. Still staying here.
Prayers, good thoughts and vibes appreciated for everyone affected. Stay safe!
Blessings.
Desire
“Take delight in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.” Psalm 37:4
Blessings.
Faith
“Faith is as sure as the taste of an apple, the fragrance of a rose, the sound of thunder, the sight of the sun, the feel of a loving touch. Hope is a wish, a longing for something not now possessed, but with the expectation of getting it. Faith adds surety to the expectation of hope.”
“Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.” – 1 Corinthians 13:13 NLT
Whatever you are struggling with…there are these: faith, hope and love. Talk to someone. Be there for someone. Have faith.
Blessings today and always.

One of my daily calendar posts for today…
“Be careful how you live; you may be the only Bible some people ever read.”
And this one as well…
“This is the path I have set before you. As you follow it wholeheartedly, you experience abundant Life and Peace.” – 2 Peter 1:2 (NIV)
Blessings today and always.
