Thanks for visiting my diary. I've been journaling since 1984 and have chosen to share some of my entries online. They are not all positive thoughts, but I hope that reading them might be a blessing to someone who needs encouragement.

If you are just coming to my diary for the first time, please read my introductory entry, where I share some background that is important if you plan to follow this diary regularly.

Please also visit my music page, where you can hear samples from my debut CD, I Believe, which features songs written based on experiences shared in this journal.

SARAH'S SCRIBBLINGS

running from Frances

It seems that we're going to play run from the hurricane again. Mom called at 11:00 P.M. and said that my uncle is willing to pay for a flight out for me. Of course, this is all complicated because I want to take my cats. It's going to cost about $450 to get the cats out and back. That's twice what it will cost for my own ticket, and Mom thinks it's stupid and I should just leave them. But I couldn't live with myself if I did that! It would cost about that much to board them, and boarding them might not even be safe.

No one is awake. They all went to sleep, and I'm here with my adrenalin. My roommates are sleeping, and Christy is going to go to work tomorrow like nothing is going on. Knowing the past pattern, I wouldn't be surprised if I spend all this money to go be safe from the oh-so-deadly hurricane and then come home to a perfectly normal town and home. I hate this! I hate this so much! Most of all I hate the way people think my cats are so disposable, and I hate the fact that I am poor and can't do anything to improve the situation. God, please help me make the right choice--not just for me but also for my animals. I do understand that maybe this is Your way of keeping me safe and that I need to trust You and trust who Your Holy Spirit sends. I wish You would send someone to talk to me. I wish I could sleep peacefully. But I know I can't, and part of that is because I don't even know where I'm going to be tomorrow night.

Oh, and I need vaccine records for all the animals. Lord, please help me find them. They have to be here somewhere. And if they aren't, then please make a way for me to get them.
