Pray for the Prairies...

Just to let you all know, I haven't abandoned my blog! My city, Weyburn, SK. has experienced some major flooding, including sewage backup in most peoples basements. A boil water advisory and limited water usage, including difficulties cooking have impacted all of our daily lives. Our Mayor has declared that Weyburn is in a state of emergency. Please pray for Southeast Saskatchewan as we try to deal with all of the issues that are happening here. 
In my last post I mentioned that I have been so busy working out my schedule with my new job that it has not left me a lot of time to do fun projects. With the amount of rain that we have experienced and the pressure it has put on our basement, I'm not sure when I will be able to find the time! We are supposed to experience even more rain today, Monday and Tuesday adding up to 30mm! It's such a headache!


Here are some pictures that were taken of a main intersection in town. You can see that a hotel is surrounded by water. It's just devastating.


And another...





So for now, when things get back to normal... are things ever normal? I'm sure you get what I mean...! I will start posting again with lots of fun posts! I promise! Thanks for your patience & love.

  2. Hi Katie.

    So, your basement is flooded? This days I'm so happy just to live in an appartement and we had only a leaking window. I'm praying lots and hope it will not get worse!!! It's sometimes hard to belive, but God is in control!!!
