I often forget to rejoice in the amazing things that God does in my life. Recently a natural disaster struck New Orleans, where both my parents grew up and a bunch of family still lives. By God's grace they are all safe and sound. Talk about perfect timing, my aunt flew here to California the Saturday before the hurricane came. Although she still doesn't know if her home is ok, and she can't use her cell phone to contact any of her friends, at least she is not one of the many whose lives were taken by this distaster. Two other family members were airlifted off their roof. Crazy how I see these things on the news. It doesn't seem real, but its part of me and my family.
Saturday night I was praying for a roomate and on Sunday by crazy perfect timing I found one. And not just someone who needs a room to rent but someone who actually wants to live in my house in particular. Then, last night as I was at Cary's birthday party I really missed my camera (actually Jonathan's camera). My borther accidentally took it home with him like three weeks ago and I don't see him often. Minutes later and my mom leaves me a voice mail saying that she has my camera. That means I will get it back today at work, and hopefully I will get to put pictures on Flickr. I really have missed it. =)
There are really so many things to be thankful for.
Lately I haven't been praying enough, but when I do, He answers. I think sometimes I don't deserve that but thats what God is all about.

I think about the hurricane and flooding a lot. There are reminders everywhere, even this far away. Not to be a downer, but what it reminds me is that death is never far and it has no regard for us. The Lord's love is our only hope.
