There have been several people who have written on their facebook:
“We have power back!! Yeah! God is good.”
It’s kind of annoying. Was He not good when you didn’t have it? Is He not good to the people whose homes are now a pile of rubble and sand? I know it seems like a huge blessing when your power is restored, and it is a blessing, but must we see God only then? Can we not rejoice anyway? I have had to check myself over and over to make sure that I am seeing this as an opportunity to rock my world for real! Russell Cravens asked us to do something on Sunday in the Awaken service at Sagemont Church. He said, “Create a new normal for your lives.” That is exactly what we all need. We need to make that our battle cry in our spiritual lives! Don’t go back to hiding in your house with your televisions and covered windows. Open your lives to what is around you! Have a block party even though you have a/c! I’m hoping to coordinate one soon. I really think we need it to help boost morale.
Oh, and today day #11 of no power, and day #9 of living with my inlaws is a new day. Today is going to be the beginning of a new normal. Today my electricity came back. God has always been good!
