I'm writing this...not just for you...but for myself. I need to regain my peace. Yesterday I found out more details about this storm bearing down on us. It is a Nor'Easter that can dump more than 15 of snow on us. There is ice involved in the beginning of it...so power interruptions are likely. I don't care if it snows 2 feet----as long as the power doesn't go out. We are completely unprepared for this storm. We need more drinking water. More food that doesn't require electricity to prepare.
I feel my familiar angst. My terror of being trapped like I was two years ago..here without heat, without water, without food, without phone service or internet....for 5 days by myself and then my husband came back and he rode out the remaining 4 days until the power came back on.....and we ventured outside to see trees scattered like tooth picks and power lines festooned in the trees and all over the roads. I will never forget that...I do believe that I have PTSD from that storm...and from Hurricane Sandy that flooded our basement.
LORD JESUS HAVE MERCY ON US.
And comes the familiar whisper, "Do you trust Me?" God,, I can't tell you how glad I am to here you say that. Because that means all will be well. I know it doesn't mean that the storm will not come....but You have promised to protect and keep us from harm. And You are a God who keeps His promises...unlike any other god that men have worshipped. including money, fame, health, and possessions. These things are powerless in the face of true adversity, to keep us safe..
I am powerless and must rely on the assistance of others. I cannot drive to the store for provision. I cannot drag the generator out of the garage or go to town to buy gas for it. I am totally dependent on others for help. "I look to the mountains. Where does my help come from? MY HELP COMES FROM THE LORD."
Please remember us here and pray for us.
