Wow, what a crazy weekend it has been, My prayers are still with everyone affected by the tornado and those who are helping to clean up. I feel blessed to have been able to help out.
Yesterday, (Saturday), me and Colby Carrig went to Crittenden to provide some help. It didn't take me long to realize that God was in that place. This is why. There was a moment where Crittenden's fire dept. was completely packed and we quickly realized that. Of the 75 people who were in Crittenden's fire department waiting for an assignment, Me and Colby were the only two people in the building being paid to be there. What a testimony. People just poured out kindness and compassion and came and said "What needs to be done? I have tools, I have a truck, let's go." Overwhelming response from the community. God is Able.
Today, I got the oppurtunity to operate on one of the chainsaw crews that Lakeside sent down to Piner headed up by Rob Moyer. Same type of Volunteer response, including some of my fellow employees. The response was also overwhelimg. But here was the part that hit me the most. They had to stop accepting donations for food and clothes because too much had come in. There were so many donations brought to Piner Baptist Church that the ENTIRE LOWER LEVEL was completely full in only two days. They had to stop accepting donations because they had TOO MUCH. Talk about a community stepping up. GOD IS ABLE.
God is working through people everywhere. All you have to do is look!
"Lifted up, he defeated the grave.
Raised to life, our God is able!
In his name, we overcome
For the Lord our God is Able!"
Amen!
