I find it difficult to put into words how my life has been the past week. The best word I can come up with to describe it is intense. I cannot express how privileged I feel to be able to be in the position to help out with the disaster relief for Hurricane Katrina. I have no doubt that God has kept me in this job for this time.
Now that we're a week into it, I've been able to see some things that have completely humbled me. All of this time that I have been doing random projects at work that have felt like nothing more than busy work, God has been preparing me for this. There are at least three different seemingly random projects they had given to me over the past couple months that have been instrumental in my being able to be very efficient in this assignment and to help out in a number of ways.
Just a week before Hurricane Katrina, I had really sensed God was telling me that I just needed to wait on Him and not worry about my job situation. In all honesty though, I really struggled with being confident that that was really what God was telling me. Now I have no doubt.
Please continue to keep the victims in your prayers, as well as those that are in crucial leadership positions for the relief effort and those that are there helping out. There is a long road ahead and it is very evident that our leadership (myself included) is already exhausted.
