Friday Feel Better Challenge – My Solid Rock Just Turned Into Sinking Sand

Your Feel Better Challenge for this week is to make a hurricane evacuation plan. You may not live in an area prone to hurricanes, but you still need an evacuation plan for the hurricane-size challenges that hit you when you least expect them.

First, make a list of the most valued people/possessions (MVP) in your life. What would you make sure to take with you when you evacuated. Would it be your clothes, your car, your knick-knacks, or would it be your family, your memories, and your important papers. Unless you know what you truly value, it’s too easy to be swept away in the chaos.

Next, make a plan for where you can go to stay safe while you ride out the storm. Who would you turn to if something happened? Who and what would you rely on for stability. Make a list of several scriptures or songs you can use to calm yourself in the darkest, scariest part of the storm.

Finally, compile your evacuation plan and put it where you will be able to grab it quickly when a storm is predicted. Having a plan in advance, will make weathering any storm a little easier.
