@lovendures Sending prayers to her and her daughter. I think she is okay, but stuck inside waiting for waters to recede. Frustrated. But it is so good that her daughter is with her.
She, her daughter and all those is West N.C and East Tennessee can truly use prayers. These are mountain roads which have been gutted. Small towns like Chimney Rock no longer exist. Cities like Asheville are barely accessible. It is their Katrina but there is barely any news coverage and people can't communicate since infrastructure is down. For most areas, it is helicopter or plane in/out and plane can only get you so far if roads are down.
This hits home with me-- The mountains of NC and east TN have been a favorite place for my family and I to visit all our lives. My great grandfather retired to NC (from Miami-- which is funny bc people usually retire TO Florida, not from.). I went to summer camp near Brevard- the place was a blessed relief from my mother's constant pressure, and from the heat of Florida summers. I attended college in the foothills of northwestern South Carolina.
A couple of years ago we visited Chimney Rock, Asheville, Brevard, and environs-- my son had never been there before and he loved it. It is hard to imagine the village of Chimney Rock being swept away. Prayers for a sacred and beautiful place.
So this what I was feeling coming.
The feeling is so big I can hardly sit with it.
The continued count of the dead and the missing feels like 911.
I lived In Flotida for eight years as a very young adult. It's heartbreaking.
All I can do is put as much light as I can into the World.
PRAYERS FOR AMERICA
Update!
Our community member in Asheville was able to briefly communicate to the outside world today. She and her daughter are safe. They found WiFi at a store which was open. She had no news for days and had no idea what was happening in her town and around that hard hit area. Nobody in line to enter the store truly knew either. Just a few unconfirmed word of mouth bits of news drifting through the long line of people. She couldn't receive any photos yet so asked for descriptions of areas like Chimney Rock.
I think she is pretty shocked about the state of West N.C.
I can't imagine all she has been going through.
She has definitely felt all of your prayers and positive energy. It has made a difference.
Thank you. I will continue to update everyone on how things are going for them.
@lovendures Thank you for reaching out to her, giving her news, and letting her know she is loved.
I could use some lower back healing, please. Sciatica, sacroliliac pain, or perhaps even periformis pinch, one or all of them 😳 are causing me some challenge getting around. I'm doing all the PT exercises from previous bouts, but yesterday, driving the little distance so I could put my early ballot in the box at the Recorders office near me seems to have exacerbated the pain. Thanks in advance; I know how powerful our healing thread is! ❤️
@tesseract, I'm so sorry. That sounds nasty. I know how debilitating pain can be. Are you able to sleep okay?
I'm holding you in healing prayer and I've just lit a candle for you. ❤️
@tesseract Prayers and healing energies being sent to you for relief of that nagging pain! That kind of pain wears you out. Maybe icing it will help with the inflammation and upset nerves. I pray it resolves soon. ❤️
