Back Online.

Whew, Ike, what a mess! Praise God, our power came back on today! We're so blessed to have great friends - both with and without power. Last night, we went over to a friends' house who had power. We had four families there altogether. We brought the food that was still good out of our fridge and had a smorgusboard of a dinner. Chicken nuggets, tater tots, mac & cheese, turkey, popcorn, etc...

We're praising God for keeping us safe. We're praising Him for keeping our fridge & freezer cold so we didn't lose a lot of food. We're praising Him for community and friends who constantly check up and make sure we're okay.

Keep praying, though, because there are still many people and friends who are without power. The electric companies are working so very hard, but it could be the coming weekend before all the power is restored. Pray that through this whole mess Ike left us with, we can draw closer to our Protector & Provider.
