We Survived the Storm

The shutters were up, we were fully stocked with non-perishable food, water and ready for a possible power outage. Our eyes had been glued to the weather channel for a few days now as we were awaiting the impending hurricane. Well... hurricane Ernesto turned into tropical storm Ernesto, then tropical storm Ernesto turned into a windy day with a little rain. Seriously, it was nothing....Thank you God! He truly answered our prayers! We prayed confidently knowing that the Lord has the power to calm the wind and the waves, and He sure answered.

So now, we are on our way to the boat to load up and head out! We will be in Dry Tortugas for a day and then sailing out in the open sea for a few more. Please be praying for us, that the weather would favor our journey and that the Lord would keep us safe.

For all of you frequent blog checkers.... looks like we will be leaving you high and dry for a few days. To satisfy your craving you can check out these three sites:

www.casa-guatemala.org (The orphanage we will work at)
www.junglemedicmissions.org (A husband wife team we will be working with and taking supplies to)
www.wmotw.org (A missionary that we will be supplying and working with)

Love you all! Keep praying :)

It’s good to know that the hurricane weakened and slowed as it passed you by. But, it’s still better that you were prepared for whatever situation. The weather can be pretty nasty, and because we can’t control it, we should take precautions. People who live in storm-prone states should think about storm shelters -- somewhere to run to should they experience aggressive weather.
