There She Blows....
No... not susie blowing bees off herself... I mean Hurricane Katrina.
It has been extremely busy at the hotel. I think this is the first time we have been properly staffed and we have been doing amazing! Refugees have been filling the hotel since Friday and I have been glued to the TV ever since I found out the "big one" was going to finally hit New Orleans. Wow, it's been an adventure watching the storm, especially for me since I am native from there. After the bustling winds and rains took out buildings and levees, my entire parish laid wasted under water. Dead bodies, debris, and rooftops are the scenary left behind. Luckily, Mom and my friends made it out fine, leaving the replaceable possessions behind.
It only took a day for Mom to find out that her house in LaPlace was not flooded at all. The only threat had been trees. Tomorrow I am heading out early to Beaumont to meet up with Mom to see if we can make our way back to the house. I'm also going to take some supplies with us to bless some people who stayed behind and now are left without water or food. We ask God that His prescence be with us.
Tomorrow I'm heading out to Louisiana with as many supplies and I can afford. I pray that God's glory shines. I'm excited to see what He does next!
Because of Our Lord who floods our souls,
Potter
