What I Saw

Went to the lower ninth ward this afternoon. This was the location where the levy broke. In fact I sat at the very spot where it did. The devastation is horrible. Where once so densely populated, there is close to nothing left. And, what is left is basically unsalvageable. Just being there for an hour drained me for all day.

I'm in a horrible mood. I really haven't been feeling well. I think there is something in the water. We're not supposed to be drinking it I heard. Maybe having some hot green tea will help me be less of an ass. I am so spoiled.

This song that was playing while we surveyed the worst damage here in New Orleans, is stuck in my head. I really couldn't even listen to it all, I turned it off. Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,And to take Him at His Word;Just to rest upon His promise, And to know,“Thus says the Lord!” Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him! How I’ve proved Him o’er and o’erJesus, Jesus, precious Jesus! O for grace to trust Him more! Sometimes I don't know how to connect with songs like this. In all honesty it's not always so "sweet" to trust in Jesus.

Sometimes its hard, and confusing, and irritateing. Yeah I really am spoiled. I'm a slave to my human emotions. I'm still learning. That's ok too. Its not like its going to shake God. "Big Surprise" He says smiling. Love till later, LauraAnne
