Yesterday we went to my gma's in South Carolina. My aunt was there from New Orleans. This was a planned visit so I consider it that God was reaching out to her. She, her daughter & boyfriend are all non christians. We waited with her as she waited for her daughter, my cousin Julie & boyfriend Bill to arrive(aun't boyfriend). They were in NO when the mandatory evacuation was announced & went to Jackson.MS to ride out the storm.
Because they live in the city all the pictures of the devestation are that much more real. They need Jesus in a bad way. My aunt & here boyfriend are relocating to Birmingham b/c he has an additional office there. It will be a big change. My aunt is person who give massages, and does manicures & pedi's. A cosmetologist so to speak. She has to get a copy of her liscense from Baton Rouge before she can get a job & find out if Al requires any addtional training.
They only have two changes of clothes to their names! Thank God they are alive!
I have another uncle who lived in NO with his wife & two boys. They are relocatting to New Jersey where her family is. My uncle Rob is a reserve police officer so he will have to return soon. They also need Jesus, I hope this is a wake up call!! We're praying!!!
Anyone else with displaced family members???
hopefully they'll recognize this planned vacation as being God's way of looking out for them. I'm glad they are safe.
ReplyDeleteI agree... God's wake up call is different for everyone. Maybe one of the millions of purposes for this tragedy was to bring your relatives to a saving knowledge of Christ!
