So...The craziest thing I have ever experienced has just came through Nashville. This intense storm that just took my new hometown by storm. Saturday the rain started and it didn't stop until late Sunday night. At first I was ok about it all...then the water at the apartment started rising higher and higher. Finally when the water started getting close to Jordans doors of his truck...I decided it was time to move the cars. Our parking lot turned into a river carrying rocks, debris, and tons of water at full force behind it. After about 5 hours of seeing what was happening at our place...We decided to go check out the damage elsewhere. Well...this really upset me because I see tons of people swimming for cover and running around grabbing what all they could in a moments time. Soon after that...Rescue boats started unloading and this is when we decided it was time to take action. We found out that they were running short on food and water for the people that were being rescued. So a quick trip to Kroger fixed that. When we arrived back at Old Harding and Sawyer Brown which is now submerged and undrivable...we quickly ran down what we had and at that time we watched as they we carrying people out of the rescue boat. It was at this time I knew the Lord was tugging my heart to help these people and spread His. An amazing woman was not able to walk and needed medical attention. She had just had major surgery and was with her Mother and Father. An ambulance was nowhere to be found and the Fireman asked if anyone had a large backseat that could run her up the hill. I told Jordan to run and get my truck. So we run and bring the truck down and at this time her mother and father were up the hill. So we get her loaded in and race her up to her family. Her name is Kimberly. Jordan and I just kept telling her that everything was ok. Her family was right next to us and she needed to be examined. She was a soldier. She refused to leave her mom and dad and their family dog "angel". She had so much spirit even after losing her house to a flood. She was wearing a cross around her neck and we started to talk about God and how we all need to praise him in this storm. It was amazing. Nothing was quite like this feeling in my heart. I felt so happy. Jordan and I just kept smiling and laughing with her and she held her head high. I was very sad to drop them off at the shelter. I knew I would probably never see them again. All in all...Jordan and I loved doing a minor mission together. It was amazing to see all the devastation and realize that this is something so minor compaired to taking the nails! So I will praise through this storm....and Lift my hands....He is who He is...No matter where I am!!
