Today, my best friend and I are taking a trailer to a little town in North West Alabama called Hackleburg. We have prayed all week, we have gathered supplies, we have changed location about 20 times. They were the first to say, 'Oh, thank you, we have nothing, we appreciate it so much'. I know everyone is giving , and taking supplies, and donating money, etc. Please remember, this is not going to be fixed in a week or a month. These people, all over the state, are going to need help for months, and maybe years to come.
Everyone is doing this out of the goodness of their hearts, not by government mandate. The PEOPLE, the Churches, organizations, NEW groups, are taking care of this! This is how is should be, this is how it used to be.
I don't know if we are prepared for what we are going to see. I thought about taking my camera, but decided against it. We've seen these sad images so much. People are hurting, I don't want to be snapping photos, I want to be healing souls, by the grace of God.
We haven't done this alone, we've had a ton of help. God has done this. He's just using us as His hands and feet. We've had people praying for us all over the country! We need it.
So today, I'm not driving my B.A. mini van. I'll be behind the wheel of a pickup truck pulling about an 18 ft trailer. I'll be behind the wheel, but God is driving.
Remember, if you can't see my mirrors, I can't see you. If you CAN see my mirrors, I probably still can't see you!
