3 am

 I haven’t wanted to post. I never thought I’d cry at the loss of power and water. Yesterday was not pretty. Got up at 3:30 am in search of water and fuel. It was found. You’d thought I’d won the lottery. 

Never thought I would use a tree as a restroom. Collect rainwater for a quick bath. Thank God to use sparkling water to brush teeth. Watermelon and mint. Not recommended. 

A few hours from me is Western North Carolina. A place where my soul find rest is destroyed. 

Nature can be brutal yet beautiful at the same time. 

I’m doing well. I just feel very primitive and isolated right now, even when I know I’m not alone. Very blessed still. 

It’s hard to comment on cell phone. I’m sorry. 

Pray. Or do as you feel like you need to do.

      I got your comment message. Is the mail working? I looked online at a place gathering donations, but I am not sure how to get things to you personally.

    Western NC has always been a vacation destination for us in the past. To see the horrendous damage absolutely breaks our hearts. Praying for you and all those affected, Regine!

    Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. Praying for your power to be restored sooner rather than later. Thankful you found fuel, but still, you need more than that. May God hear your cries and answer you. We will keep praying for you.

    I'm in eastern NC and my heart breaks for western NC! I know they were not prepared for Hurricane Helene or not used to any hurricane. I'm praying for you and western NC! People from my home church & other area churches are sending supplies and non-perishable groceries.

    Praying for you! We often lose power (and with it our water since we have a well) and it is never any fun. The coverage of the path of the hurricane has been so sad. I am glad that physically you are okay and hope that your power and water are restored soon.

    DOn't worry about commenting. We have been more worried about you and I am grateful that you are safe and that some of your services have been restored. Thank you for your prayers for Lizzie's return. I'm happy to say she returned 24 hours later!

    I hate it when I'm without power. And being without water, too? That's the worst. Hang in there! You have all of my prayers.

    Please stay safe, I’ve been there from past hurricanes, I know it is difficult while going through it. But afterward you have a new appreciation for all our blessings.
