My Sweet City's Hurt

A year ago yesterday, I posted this on my old blog in response to the flood that roughed up Nashville so bad. Can't believe how quickly I had forgotten the damage we saw a year ago:

"On Saturday, the 1st of May, our delayed April showers showed up in a fury delivering the worst flooding seen in Music City in 50 years. The Harpeth River that has so lovingly provided nostalgic summer recreation for us took on a nasty countenance as it rose 26 feet, flooding most of Kingston Springs Bellevue. Neighborhoods in Brentwood and Franklin were evacuated and Tennessee lost 11 lives this weekend.

Vanderbilt's orange alert was heightened when the emergency departments began to flood, resulting in patient care to be both hectic and shin deep in water.

The images continue to trickle in, leaving my heart heavy for the hurt my fellow Nashvillians are experiencing."

So thankful for God's provision and protection during such a time. So thankful to be reminded of His provision and protection during such a time.

P.S. Listening to Mr. Ray Charles today. Love "Night Time Is the Right Time". Great song to dance around in the kitchen to.

Finding Strength in Your Weakness | The Resurgence

"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong." II Corinthians 12:9-10

P.S.  Can't go wrong with Mumford & Sons "Sigh No More" on this dreary day.
