We made it through the hurricane alright! :)
I'm so happy now! *does the miracle dance*
Thank you all so much for your prayers. Our house didn't flood, which is a miracle since we live right by two lakes and a river! The only damage we have is the nail holes from the plywood and a leak in the ceiling. We had to puncture a hole in it since the roof was bowing and it was all soggy...:P
We even have power! (duh, sorry) We haven't had it for days and all I could think about was the internet...and my life...and my stuff...and how I was going to survive...yup. ^^
My dad and my sister were outside and heard people cheering and lights were going on. Now we can flush the toilets!
People: :eyebrow:
Hehe...:sweat: Anyways, we're alive and we have water and food and a place to live!!! :grin: :grin: :grin:

So how did everyone else fare? *hopes they're alright*
I have all of you in my prayers...

God Bless,
-Madeline

I'm fine here in Naples (Christian anime fan desert that it is). The hurricane really didn't bother us too much.

I am so happy! :hug: Man, I was worried about you guys. I'm so thankful you're safe and the Lord brought you through it, Madeline. Thank the Lord! :angel: I'll have to email your mom.:)

[size=84][color=seagreen]YOU SEE


You see into the deepest part of me ---

beyond the fog I hide behind.

You cast your light upon the shadows

that stretch like cobwebs in my mind.

You ease the pain when I am hurting,

and morbid visions from my past

pierce into the realm of Reason

as though I danced on blades of glass.

You grant me strength when I have fallen

and, once again, I've lost my way.

You take my hand in Yours and lead me

into the promise of a brand new day.

You bring order to all my chaos,

yet set my well-laid plans awry.

You place me on a firm foundation ---

then give me wings so I can fly.

You sand away my roughened edges

and polish all the dullest parts

until I stand before Your presence...

a newly-sculpted work of art.

You see into the heart within me,

right through my motives and selfish will.

And yet, in spite of all You see

You say You love me even still.

"The advice I like to give young artists, or really anybody who’ll listen to me, is not to wait around for inspiration. Inspiration is for amateurs; the rest of us just show up and get to work. If you wait around for the clouds to part and a bolt of lightning to strike you in the brain, you are not going to make an awful lot of work. All the best ideas come out of the process; they come out of the work itself. Things occur to you. If you’re sitting around trying to dream up a great art idea, you can sit there a long time before anything happens. But if you just get to work, something will occur to you and something else will occur to you and something else that you reject will push you in another direction. Inspiration is absolutely unnecessary and somehow deceptive. You feel like you need this great idea before you can get down to work, and I find that’s almost never the case." - Chuck Close[/color]

You're right about the shield thing! :) As David said, "I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings until the storm passes". (Not a direct quote, but close enough! :thumb: )
Yup...that's what we were saying about class 2 too...until we saw the news reporters falling down in 40mph winds...a friend of ours went out in the winds to get his fence, and was sick for a while afterwards because of the conditions.
And we're sitting here saying "Oh, it's only 100mph!" :P
Well, it's over now. And God protected us!
Just like He'll protect us from Ivan too. *nodnods*
Right, God! Right? *faith wavering*
Um...I think I need some prayer with that hurricane. ^^
And fries...*drool*
*scatterbrained*
:sweat:
Aren't I a wonderful Christian? :grin: So strong, and brave, and faithful, yeah! And focused...
God help me, I'm wierding my own self out...:P


Ooh! Ooh! Hi C.t.,girl and Swordguy!!!

Where in FL were you madeline? I was in Palm Beach Gardens and sat through the eye. We had to leave my dog at home and go to my dad's work :( But we were safe and we got to see a very exciting storm. Thankfully the only damage was to our roof, but it's not that bad *hopes the flat roof doesn't collapse on her head* and the yards a wreck. We didn't lose power very long, because our milk was still good when we came home yesterday. Just got our phone line back this morning.
