Headed out! Fleeing GUSTAV!!!!!

To all my friends, and people that worry about me. For those of you so
very concerned about the possibility of me staying, you can be
relieved since I am now in Huntsville, Alabama staying at a farm house
with my roomate Josiah. Eavie my dog is here as well, and we are
possibly waiting on a family that lives 2 houses down. I feel that
this family will probably not rendevouz with us here, but will
probably opt to stay at a hotel or something in Huntsville.

Today we woke up and Josiah went to check on 2 of his co-workers on
the Westbank to see if they needed rides, he knocked on their door but
did not answer. At that point I decided that I was going to ride with
Josiah since I needed to read for a class I am taking. We left around
10 with minimal traffic. My house is all boarded up and things are
tied down. Almost all of my neighbors have left or were planning on
leaving, so I felt at ease to leave. I parked my truck on a street
that did not flood during Katrina, and my house should be ok and not
flood.

The thought of the storm creates a lot of anxiety. There are many of
us who leave life and things behind, hoping that things dont get
destroyed. This is very much of a time of dependence on Christ and
trusting in him and being able to see that all things can be used
toward His glory whether things are hard or easy. I am worried about
my truck, we almost turned around at 5 hours out to go back so I can
move it! We didn't though and now I slightly worry about it, If it
goes though it will be ok I know the Lord will provide. I just don't
want to tell my parents. For some reason I haven't grown out of that
part of become a small man of adult that I am.
