I really don't know what to do right now, it's flooding here and I barely made it to work and they advised us not to get back out, Ryan just called screaming and crying saying the water is coming in everywhere and grammy and daddy can't stop it! I am so upset because I cannot get to them and I am literally in tears! I don't know if we have flood insurance and we could lose everything. I told them to grab the animals and get on the bed.My mom said it was really bad but I don't know how much could be exadurated due to Panic! My friend Shannon  just called and calmed me down a bit and said remember God will take care of you and that really helped me rethink my situation. But it's really hard to hear your kids crying and scared and knowing you cannot get to them! Ok My boss just came in and has  a BIG Car and said she is taking me home!!!

I hope its all ok! My basement was flooding pretty bad when I left this morning, but my landlord promised that someone was coming to look at it. I’ll probably lose all the clothes I had in the dryer down there, though. The rain is crazy today!!!

Olga June 14, 2010 at 5:53 PM

Like your friend said God will help you. As hard as it may seem don’t panic.

You're in our prayers. Do remember what your friend said; we've been through the fire too and its such a blessing to see his handy work when you put it in his hands and walk away. Get throught the shock then put it in his hands and let him have it.
Psalm 126:3 The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.

cheeriokeeper June 14, 2010 at 9:13 PM

I hope you made it home safely and that everyone at home is okay. I'm praying for you guys during this scary and difficult time.

I'm sorry you lost so much. Many of us here in Oklahoma are in a Panic. There is a church in Edmond and many in OKC that is helping out those in need. With that help and the almost $800 raised for you and how great you are at coupons you should be back on your feet in no time. SOO Glad noone is hurt . will continue to pray!
