"When the storms of life come, if they come to me personally, to my family or to the world, I want to be strong enough to stand and be a strength to somebody else, be shelter for somebody else."
-- Anne Graham Lotz
With a large and dangerous hurricane headed our way, conversations inevitably included "Where are you going?" or "Do you have a place to go?" After packing for what seemed like days, we finally loaded the children and as many of our belongings as possible into the car and drove to our safe haven -- the house of one of my dearest friends. When I arrived, she came out to greet me and as I hugged her, I felt incredibly blessed. I thanked her and she shrugged it off. I know that I will never be able to thank her enough and I don't know that she will ever understand how very much it means to me that in the middle of a very scary time, she gave us "a place to go."
