Today's Christian Woman article feedback

We wanted to share with you that thanks to Today's Christian Woman Jan/Feb issue, we are receiving wonderful notes from people around the country. The one I have posted below is particularly meaningful to us because we felt so blessed that God allowed us to be personally involved when so many wanted to and tried to. We also know that although New Orleans was devastated, we tried through our site to bring other areas to the forefront as well. Your well wishes and kind thoughts mean so much to us as we CONTINUE the journey God has before us....

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciated reading your moving and inspiring story in Today's Christian Woman. That led me to your blog, which I read, and that led me to the pictures of the church and Parkinston and that led me to other pictures of the devastation and that led me...On and on. I have followed what happened down there, but much of the focus was on New Orleans. I know that city was devastated and so many people displaced and so much history lost, but I found it frustrating and angering that so little was said about the rest of the affected area. So many of those people must really feel abandoned by the rest of the country. I know that it will take years to repair damage - many things are lost forever. Their will to survive and do it with style is overwhelming and beautiful.

You women have helped blanket, clothe, feed, toy and Bible that area, putting wheels and linens and love to your faith. I am a social worker in Washington state and many of us tried to organize a relief effort for the displaced foster children of the area, which sadly, was not sanctioned by our state until the help was no longer needed. Don't you just love the government? :) But our prayers flowed just the same, now I know that some of that was for your team. Maybe that was our role all along...

I would wish you all God's richest blessings, but it seems clear that has already come your way. May it continue.

in Him,Valerie
