Typhoon

A series of typhoons hit the Philippines lately. The worst one, Typhoon Ondoy hit the area where my uncle lives. Honestly, I didn't know Ondoy would be that bad. It was worse than Hurricane Katrina, and we know what that did to New Orleans. I remember upon hearing the news that I laughed and I jumped in victory. But that was a terrible thing to do. You see, I said that it's not my battle to win, but God's battle, against the demons surrounding my uncle. But I didn't think that this would happen. I saw the YouTube videos, and some of them can get really distressing. It's just so sad. It's a horrible thing to happen to the Philippines. And just a couple of months ago, the Missions Team and I, we walked down the same streets. In one of the YouTube videos, I recognized a school sign. And I thought...we were parked at that exact same corner only a few months ago.

You can check out the videos if you want, just look up "Typhoon Ondoy" and don't fret when the tears start to fall. When they showed one of the videos in church, I was bawling. Everyone thought that I was really touched by the video...but wrong reason. I cried because I mistreated my uncle, that his house was flooded and his cars sunk underneath probably floods up to four to five feet high.
