By Emma Danzey Bible Reading “I lift my eyes toward the mountains. Where will my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.” – [Psalm 121:1-2]( It was a normal Friday, for the most part, down the mountain in the foothills. We had a lot of rain and wind as to be expected when Hurricane Helene was coming through. After some gusty winds that gave whistles outside the windows, the storm passed. Little did I know, the true storm was just beginning up the mountains. Much of my small city lost power, and large oak trees had fallen, but flooding was minimal. We began to hear reports and see pictures of the devastation in the mountains of North Carolina and surrounding areas. None of us were prepared for this, we did not see this coming. Days went by when we tried to get ahold of loved ones in the areas hit hard to see if they were even alive. Many did not have ways to reach family and friends without power and service.

I have heard constant helicopters and airplanes at the local airport taking supplies and rescuing people in more remote places. It sounded like I lived in a time of war. As the death toll rises and the stories come out of how the mountain towns appear more like a Tsunami went through, they are living in a war-torn land against the floods that overtook them. People are all asking, “Where will my help come from?”   [CONTINUE READING →](            You May Also Like:        [10 Outdoor Fall Activities for Grandparents and Grandkids to Enjoy Together](  Carrie Lowrance Fall is here, and the weather is cooling down.
