"Making It Make Sense" (SM) with Dr. Pamela Brewer
KATRINA
BY TRENIKA CARR* A Hurricane Katrina Survivor
and
Recent High School Graduate
Sometimes God puts us through a test
But I know I'm still Blessed.
We may go though ups and downs
But God is still around.
We have no fireplace, large TV or cable
But I know God is able.
I have lost my home, a cousin and a friend
But I know Jesus is with me to the end.
For everything, there is a season,
And I trust Jesus for that reason.
I have lost my jewelry, silver and gold,
But I still have my soul.
So I know God is in control;
As we laid on the floor
God opened a door;
A stranger gave us a home
I know God will never leave us alone.
Our earthly home is gone,
But our heavenly home will live on.
Get to know Jesus - it's a Must
He is one I know you can Trust.
Thank you Everybody, for being as kind,
You will always be on my mind!
*Trenika participated in the MyNDTALK series on "The Women Of Katrina" which aired on Pacifica Radio, WPFW 89.3 FM radio in Washington, DC Tri-State Area. The Journey Radio -- St. Louis, MO., www.wpfw.org and available on www.audioport.org
Trenika was gracious enough to share her poem with the MyNDTALK audience - and amazingly, during the MyNDTALK program was able to reconnect with a friend h whom she'd lost contact as a result of Hurricane Katrina - who was also a participant in the MyNDTALK series - hosted by Dr. Pamela Brewer.
Dr. Brewer and the MyNDTALK listeners were honored to have Trenika and all the other women in "The Women of Katrina" series.
Despite experiencing what most of us never will ... each and every woman survived with courage and grace...we salute you all!
