We got back from our cruise Saturday night, and reality hit immediately. My family informed me of the horrible flood in Nashville last week. Nashvillians are still so devastated, and it's going to take a long time for the city to recover from this disaster. My Granny's house and car were totally ruined, but luckily she wasn't hurt. It's times like this when you realize what a huge blessing it is to have faith that God will walk her through this and family there to support her along the way. But there's still so much emotional damage from losing all your things- that's what is so difficult to deal with. For now, all I know to do is pray for her and all the others in Nashville who were so greatly affected by this record-breaking flood. My heart is especially heavy for the people who don't have family there to take care of them, for people who lost someone because of this event, for those who are now homeless or who lost their life savings from this. It's times like this when it's so hard to be living in Texas where I can't do enough to help. But I'm praying daily that God provides healing. Here are some pictures I found...
Over 20 inches of rain fell on Nashville within 48 hours
The damage is estimated to be around $1-2 billion
This is inside Opryland hotel where my family loves to go and walk around every year. Crazy the amount of water. And this is only a couple miles away from my Granny's house.
Pray for Nashville and all those affected.
