Two years since Katrina and My 30th!

I always will remember Katrina because it was my 28th Bday! Horrible way to spend your birthday let me tell ya! I'll never forget the feeling of complete desperation and sadness at seeing the images on TV of my home place undergoing such ruin and devastation. It was my birthday (as is today) but that was the last thing on my mind. I think I watched the headline news 24/7 for those several days before the storm hit and after. It seems that Louisiana and the rest of the Gulf Coast is getting back on it's feet somewhat, but unless you know the lay of the land and what was actually lost, you have no clue. I was able to see just a fraction of the devastation in the ninth ward of New Orleans last summer. I can't even imagine! Anyway....just thought it appropriate to say a few words about that terrible ordeal. Of course I prayed for all of the places affected during the storm and after...and we will still pray for their continued rebuilding and well being.

On another note(as previously stated) I am 30 today! Seems so strange to me. I told my niece Tiffany several days ago that we were both in our 20's for the first and last time. HA! She turned 20 on Aug 18th. Age is truly a number to me. It is what I've done with the past year or 30 years that matters most. I can't say I have done anything truly special this year except the day to day things. I've enjoyed just living day by day, being with my husband and watching my daughter grow. I pray each night for the Lord to help me be an example to her and others so she not only feels it necessary to serve Him, but DESIRES to do so. I don't have any pics yet but ...for my birthday my family and I(Jon, my grandmaw, mom, dad, Phillip, and Katy) went out to eat at Thai Taste...one of my favorite places to eat. I love Thai food. I also love sushi, Indian, etc. but that is for another post! ha! Oh well.....have a great day everyone and God Bless.
