wow. looking at all of the crazy damage up and down the east coast is humbling. it's crazy how some places, like Vermont, can be so effected, even when it's separated from the ocean by an entire state. people's homes are ruined and whole bridges have been swept away along with some people's livelihoods and hope.
as if the economy weren't bad enough, we are now $7 billion deeper in debt and it looks completely hopeless to people who, already, were living on the brink of a financial cliff.
But look at the incredible power of a hurricane and think: could that be by chance?
The water is strong enough to wash away bridges. How much stronger could our God be?
We created dams to hold water in a place that we wanted to make room for our own plans and buildings only to watch them burst and overflow. How much more determined could our God be?
Why do we see things like this every day and not marvel at His awesome mercies each day as we sit in our dry, warm, and light homes and dorm rooms? Our only connection to the wet and blustery reality to millions of people is the sound of the news blaring in our ears.
And what possible plan could God have in this? Only the best.
Heartfelt prayers going out to those who have lost loved ones as a result of this natural disaster.
