Today after dinner, one of the homwowners came in to talk to us and it was extremely wonderful to hear everything she had to say regarding her recovery from hurricane katrina. It was also suprising to me to know that though the media still doesnt followup with the hurricane, that people are still living with this everyday of their lives. I loved her presentation and how she was very open to answering questions. In addition to the many things she had lost due to the hurricane, i felt as though she emphasized more about losing the accessibility of her family members that she had before. As she talked about her life after katrina, it was as if i could feel her emotions and see through her eyes everything she has endured and she still fights to overcome. Not only did i admire her genuine spirit about her entire experience, but i also loved how she focused on her christian faith nad how that was her main motivation in her perseverence.

Hey Nichole,
Hows everything going, thanks for the blog about the lady you visited. Since Katrina devasted the region, and many of the impovershed were left to fend for themselves, one thing Ive noticed was the consistent effort made by evangelicals to offset some of the hardship the hurricane caused…some have even gone as far to say that the Churches were the primary people rebuilding the region physically and spiritually….also if so would you credit that for the faithfulness and perseverence demonstrated by that lady and others like her….???

hey fred!!!! whats really good with u???? thanks for the comment, but anyways, i definitely believe that although the determination and persistency like the one of the young lady influenced religious organizations in helping to rebuild the devastated regions, i don’t think that is the only contributing factor. The fact is, this is what churches and any God fearing assembly are known for. God has placed them in the world to bear others burdens, give charity, give hope to the hopeless, and this is exactly what they will continue to do. I hope i have successfully answered your question.
