Nobody Asked You!: Best Time Ever

We went down to New Orleans and had the best time ever.

What would be your response to a posed suggestion of an evaluation?

Do you ignore it? Do you think you can ride the storm or do you sit back and wait to see the storm's final true direction?

Kevin, I and everyone else living in the path of Hurricane Matthews, on the eastern seacoast, had that decision to make on last week.

The time had come to put the previous post, "Lemonade Anyone?" into action. Everyone had to make their own decision.

As I say time and time again, life is choices. For Kevin and me, family is more important than any materials possession we possess. The decision to leave was made for our family, by us and we were all happy with it. We decided to make lemon out of lemonade.

Now we have friends who decided to ride out the storm, they made the best decision for them. We respect their decision and it doesn’t matter if we agree with their decision or not. That is something we learn as time goes on, how to respect others decision whether you agree or not.

We figured the kids are out of school for five days. No work, no school sounds like a perfect time for a mini vacation, a mini family reunion, five days of time together. Since we are instructed to flee, let us go to family.

Well, I must say God is good. All went well and it was a great decision, not to mention a great trip! We went down to New Orleans and had the best time ever.

Kevin, the kid and I never all have the same time off together. It was very hard trying to plan a family vacation.

Even more so I had no worries because I know God is in control. We prayed and left everything behind. When we returned last night there was debris all around but no damage.

Many was not as fortunate and they are all in our prayers.

Here’s a bit of what we did in New Orleans with family and friends. Everyone was so kind and there’s always something going on.
