I Thought God Was Done With The Water Gig...

Postby Sakaki Onsei » Tue Dec 04, 2007 2:14 am

A little humor to spice up this request for y'all. Remember that God created the rainbow as an indication that he would never flood the earth again.

Now, onto the request:

My neck of the woods got hit very hard by storms that came through, and the town my parents live in is an island. See, my parents live in a coastal town called Tillamook. On one side of the town (north), one river has gone over the banks, over the bridge for Hwy 101, and was/is pouring water down the highway. On the south side, another river has made 101 impassible. And, to the east, the road was blocked by mudslides, which have now been cleared.

Still, I have been unable to reach my parents, and been trying to find out more info. I guess my prayer is not just for my parents, who are dealing with this storm, but the entirety of Oregon, that this storm can be a teaching lesson for all of them.

And...with that...I go to bed.

Praying for you as well. I can't wait till God comes back to solve every problem on this current Earth.
Some of my favorite scriptures.

Psalm91
A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

Hebrews 4-4
1Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
2For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
3For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
4For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.



James 4
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.



Revelation 22:14
Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

There is a Red Cross evacuation center in Tillamook:

you will probably have to get with the Red Cross to contact folks, but as the article states, there are phone and power outages. The protocol for evacuation shelters like this is for the personnel at the shelter to contact one relative outside the problem area, so that that person can notify everyone else. Otherwise, the flood of incoming calls (several calls per evacuee) will swamp the communications system. So you might want to call any other relatives to see if they have heard anything. Or you can just go with the Red Cross directly and see if they will take a health and welfafe inquiry from you.

My parents are doing alright. The ones who aren't are the ones to the north and the south of the downtown area.

Cell phone service is out, but somehow my dad got a message to my aunt in McMinnville that he and my stepmom are alright.

Still, prayers for the people of Tillamook, Chehalis (Washington), and Woodinville (Washington) are definetely needed.
