Thank you for helping another person in Mississippi recover from the devastation from Hurricane Katrina. I can speak for personal experience and tell you that even though the storm happened two years ago this August, there is still MUCH to be done. My parents are just beginning to build their house. It isn't that they didn't want to do it sooner, but their insurance company has been jacking them around. In fact, they have actually hired an attorney now. Fun, huh? My parents will have their home completed this fall (which will be two+ years since Katrina). Thankfully their home will be done in time for the holidays.

Please continue to keep my family and other survivors of Hurricane Katrina in your prayers. There is much that needs to be done to help aid in the economic recovery and growth in the Gulf Coast Region.

You and God

When you are the neediest, He is the most sufficient.
When you are completely helpless, He is the most helpful.
When you feel totally dependent, He is absolutely dependable.
When you are the weakest, He is the most able.
When you are the most alone, He is intimately present.
When you feel you are the least, He is the greatest!
When you feel the most useless, He is preparing you.
When it is darkest, He is the only Light you need.
When you feel the least secure, He is your Rock and Fortress.
When you are the most humble, He is most gracious.
When you say that you cannot, remember that He can!
