Trusting God

So many individuals and families from UBC have stepped up to help in the recovery process as we deal with the effects of Hurricane Ike. Many people are in situations out of the ordinary for them as they search for ice, water and electricity. Although we will return to a life of normalcy, schools will re-open, grocery stores will have milk and bread, and traffic lights will function again, the memory of the storm will not soon go away.



Yesterday our preschoolers learned about how Jesus Fed the People, John 6:1-13. As I listened in the hallways yesterday and visited with the preshcoolers they had stories to tell about the evacuation and Hurricane Ike. They see remnants of the storm at their playgrounds in their yards and covering the streets of Clear Lake. The people listening to Jesus on the mountainside that day were hungry, but they trusted that Jesus could care for their needs. I pray that during this time we trust God to care for our needs and be ready to help care for the needs of others.



Although our children are probably not going without food or water, there are still many children without electricity standing in line for hours in search of nourishment. Families lost their homes, their clothes, their toys and their lives. This is a time we can teach our preschoolers about serving. We are going to postpone our scheduled Preschool Family Mission Project and work with hurricane relief.
