Flash Flood

Sometimes a video says it better than I can possibly type, however I will add a few thoughts. Today it is two weeks since my son's infamous statement, as we were evacuating, "well Mum we will never forget the first night in our new home." How right he is. Although I must admit while the flood will obviously be in my memory I can honestly say that the predominant memory will be the overwhelming love, support, prayers and offers for help.

If you don't know what happened, here is the short version. Last month we posted about moving house and we were able to accomplish that on January 19th. We sat down for dinner in our new house at 6.30pm on the 19th and our new house  found itself in the path of a flash flood early Sunday morning of the 20th.

We have not been very specific in exactly what we need until now because it has taken us this long to clean up, sort through the mess and actually determine what was lost. While we could list everything we lost we want to instead right now focus on how incredible God has been to our family, we have been abundantly blessed and were able to  save some of the more important irreplaceable items like photos, scrapbooks,  certificates and kids drawings. God's hand was distinctly on our family through this event and  we want to  acknowledge His love, His protection and look forward to watching even more of His provision.

We have added a short video with some footage Glen took during the flood and some of the aftermath and clean up.
