The temperature is H-O-T.
There is literally no sign of what is to come.
It appears there is a storm a brewin' in the Atlantic and it's headed towards us. Well, the "storm" has grown in to a Category 5 hurricane named Irma and it looks like she might do some damage.
As we don't know what the next few days might hold I wanted to send out a quick blog to ask for your prayer.
We praise the LORD for the second floor, concrete home GOD has allowed us to live in... however, there are many, MANY people in our church, youth group and baseball ministry that live in homes with wooden walls and tin roofs. Homes that might not take the beating well. We ask for GOD's protection over each one of them and their families. We ask for wisdom in knowing how to prepare and guidance in knowing how to help.
We ask for prayer for Robersy's family as well as the Dominican and Haitian families of many of our SCORE employees and missionaries.
Robersy's mom lives in a small tin-roofed home at the bottom of a hill. Heavy rain has caused mud to flood her home on occasions before and she's fearful that her home won't withstand the hurricane force winds. Robersy's mom also suffers from asthma that is regulated with a nebulizer daily. If the power goes out for a long period of time this could cause issues for her health as well. We've ask her to come and stay with us, but obviously she is fearful to leave her home and belongings as well.
We ask that this storm might draw people to HIMSELF and in the midst of scary circumstances, that the LORD might reveal HIMSELF with HIS mighty, powerful hand.
We KNOW and BELIEVE in a GOD that can CALM THE STORM. We worship the CREATOR of the winds and the waves that humbly obey HIS commands. Still we trust in HIS absolutely perfect plan and ask that HE does what will bring HIM the most glory.
