Prayer Requests
Dear Buddies,
My family and I are in the projected path of Hurricane Ike. I know the last several weeks or more, a lot of prayers have gone out for other buddies dealing with storms. I, of course, am concerned about everyone’s safety and well being. More specifically though, my request is for enough energy, resources, strength and peace to deal with preparations my family and I need to make. I need help boarding up and my hope is to find someone who will be blessed by the opportunity to assist us in preparing the house.
I want to be able to cope without falling back onto old habits, the insight to see my way to the healthiest choices I can make in each moment, and the strength of self-love to be gentle with myself when I do.
Thank you for being my haven these past few weeks. I am sure I will check in if we have to evacuate. Until then, blessings on each of you as you deal with the stresses that come into your life.
Sincerely yours,
Rae
in Corpus Chrisit, TX
P.S. Looks like the kittens might go on their first road trip!
Rae you and your family (and the kittens of course)are in my prayers - for you to have everything you need at this time. During this time if you do fall off the weightloss path, just get up and brush yourself down. If you’re looking at a lot of other (at times more important) things there is the possibility of a little stumble. Keep us updated.
Oh Rae, I feel so terrible and I know what you’re going through. I was very blessed that Ike missed South Florida but I certainly feel terrible it’s now headed your way where I also have some family. The only thing I can tell you that helped me is to deal with things one day at at a time and only see the Hurricane updates ONCE in the morning and then leave it for the next day. There was enough pandamonium in the streets and looking at that hurricane move ever so slowly in your direction makes anyone (me at least) stressed and anxious and then the only thing I want are cookies and chips. So I tried to control how much exposure I got to it. I wish you the best of luck, I send you and your family a special prayer and take care!!!
Girl, sending prayers out for you family and everyone else in the path of these storms, yes, that includes pets too.
Like JC said…girl…if you get distracted by this kind of thing, do not be hard on yourself…my gosh..something like this is soo scary…when its all said and done..then you can get back on track. However, I want to say that if you do stay on track…girl…you better do a victory dance cause that means you ROCK!!
