  • Connecticut Hurricane Season

    Connecticut Hurricane Season

    Everyone should have a plan to prepare for an upcoming storm.  

    • Discuss the types of hazards or storms that your family and home may encounter. What supplies would you need? How would your family stay in contact with each other?  
    • Keep important documents in a secure place or create password-protected digital copies.  
    • Identify safe areas for your family in the event of a storm hazard. These areas may not be in your home but could be elsewhere in your community.  

    Familiarize yourself with evacuation routes, especially if you live close to the coast 

    • Determine escape routes from your home and other places to meet. Craft an evacuation plan should circumstances require you to leave town.  
    • Appoint an out-of-state friend as a single point of contact for all family members to check in with at designated times.  
    • Plan for your pets in the event of an evacuation. Some hotels do not allow pets, but many do in an emergency.  
    • Post emergency telephone numbers by / on your phones. Make sure your children know how and when to call 9-1-1.  
    • Create a disaster supply kit. Stock it with non-perishable emergency food, water, first-aid necessities, supplies, flashlights, a battery-powered radio, and extra batteries.  
    • Remember to fully charge any electronic devices you may need in the lead-up to the storm.

  • Whose Steps Are You Walking In

    towel thrownA Season of Growth, A Season of Faith – Preparation invites us to take a good look at where we are and where God wants us to go.

    This day was filled with revelations, learning, understanding, sharing and the delivery of words and ideas about how God works and what He wants from us and for us.

    There are days when I’m so very sure I’m walking in the steps that were ordered for me, and then there is that one disappointment that I can and will allow to shake me. Does that mean that my faith is not as strong as it should be? Do I allow the friends of Job to whisper in my ear with suggestions of turning back? Have I not studied enough to know the difference between the voice of the Lord and that of something else? If I begin to answer those questions then I have indeed lost sight of what He wants for me?

    I’ve learned that it’s in these moments when it seems like all hope is gone, my prayers have gone unanswered, and Satan is winning – if I throw in the towel, God will throw it back at me.

    He’s not finished with me yet…

    I am not to give up the good fight, it is when life goes awry by my eye’s vision that I must persevere and endure until I see His Face, face-to-face.
