I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;
indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
The Lord watches over you—
the Lord is your shade at your right hand;
the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
The Lord will keep you from all harm —
he will watch over your life;
the Lord will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.
Psalm 121

Hello starrynytes,
We lived in Florida for about ten years('85-'95) and experienced the impact Hurricane Andrew had on our community, among our friends and family.
We were in West Palm Beach and after boarding up our home, we traveled as far as St. Augustine before we could find a safe place to stay.
By the time we arrived, the hurricane had already reached it's destination in Miami.
We made our way back home the same day to discover hardly any damage to our older, but sturdy home.
We lived just a few miles from the intracoastal.
With a hurricane, you are given time to prepare and decide if you want to stay or leave.
All we took with us was important papers and photos--items you will really need and items that can't be replaced.
Constant prayer and gratitude is number one on your list of priorities and helping your neighbor in need.
My husband was a subcontractor and spent much time helping others to board up their homes.
God is in control. You, your family and Florida will be in my prayers along with the many others who are praying as well.
May God keep you in His peace,
:luv2:
