Today we had an Earthquake!
This is the first time I have ever experienced an Earthquake of this magnitude ever!
I was at work when it hit. First the door shook...gradually increasing, then the floor and Oh My Goodness...the ceiling shook so hard it felt like it was going to just fall in. My legs felt so unstable as the floor beneath me moved. I grabbed my desk to level myself and immediately got my students under the table. Phones went down. No texting, no Lan Lines...nothing! That was hard on me because as you know...I have little people of my own, and not being able to reach them was...well not cool.
But....
and this is a BIG BUT...(smiles)
This morning when I posted Beauty for Ashes...
I had a Peace all about me...
And reading your comments...touched my heart...
I felt covered by His Grace...
I felt covered by His Grace...
I said a Prayer (during the quake)...and I was settled.
All was well...
Peace took hold of me...and I knew...
"It shall not come nigh my dwelling..."
Thus said the Lord...
My heart has been enlightened...
Thus said the Lord...
My heart has been enlightened...
My Prayers go out to everyone around the World experiencing (Un)Natural Disasters!
Pray...
and
Pray...
and
Prepare your hearts....
Ooh lala...

Lovey, I'm so glad you were held in His Hand during that quake! And that He gave you the wisdom to get the children under your care to a safe place. I can only guess how naturally afraid something like that would make you...I've never experienced one myself. It's so neat to hear your testimony of the event though and how God kept you safe. Praise Him!!!

Hi Lovey,
I am so glad to know that you faired well in the earthquake. I am so sure this was crazy scary. But as usual, you found peace in a storm. Stay blessed.

Hi Lovey,
A earthquake is a scary thing to experience when we haven't been through one before. I am so glad that you found peace during this one. I am thankful to know that the Lord has you in his hands my sweet friend.
Your 'Beauty for Ashes' is a beautiful post Lovey!
sending love to you...

We felt it too, all the way up here in northern PA and my daughter in upstate NY.
Blessings to you!! Keep your feet on the ground today!
