Selah and I are ready for the gym.
Hurricane Harvey has come and gone. We live in Houston, Texas. Our home was not damaged in the flooding.
I have never lived through a natural disaster of any kind. I grew up in Olympia, WA. where nothing ever really seems to happen.
When we were warned about the hurricane, my husband, Matt, was in Maine where he is currently working. He had no choice but to stay and watch and pray as Harvey continued to progress and flood our city over the course of many days. There were no flights coming in or going out. Even if he had gotten a flight in, he never would have made it home through the flooding. Watching from afar was torture for him.
Here I was, sitting at home with our six children who still live at home, wondering how this storm would affect us. What would I be forced to do alone, without the help of Matt?
Through the years we have accumulated everything that I think we would need if power went out, or if we were stuck in the house for days on end.
