Dear Ones,
I so appreciate all your messages and concern for my family and me. We left the island yesterday morning with my Mother and Chloe Dawn. We've driven for nine hours and we're out of harm's way. Thank you so much for your prayers, we know God is good and He is in full control. We are praying for friends who have chosen to stay and our homes and the island and surrounding areas.
My heart just melted and tears ran down my face as I read of all your love and concern for me! How precious you are and I truly love you all! I just wanted to let you know we're okay and will be watching the weather to see what happens and when we can come back.
Thank you again, my dear friends and hopefully will be back to blogging soon.
Be sweeties til I get back,
Shelia :)
Oh thank God Shelia!!! I was so so worried about you. Tears of joy that you're okay :)

I am so glad to read that you have left! I will continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers, as I will all who are in harms way.
ReplyDeletetake care,
Dawn
Oh, I am so glad you got out of there, I was sure you would leave. My parents left last night at 8:00 p.m. and didn't get here until about 6:00 a.m. this morning. What was normally about a 6 hour drive took them 10! They were exhausted. I'll be praying that your home is safe and I am so glad your family, mother and Chloe Dawn are safe and out of harms way. While watching this storm my heart is just sinking for the Galveston area. I am just so worried.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to know you are safe. We'll be looking forward to hearing from you soon! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Shelia for writing.
ReplyDeleteThanks God you are safe.
God bless you and yours!
Oh Sweetie, that's sooooo good to know. We posted an IKE message for prayers today!
ReplyDeleteWe're praying...
Jan & Tom
Whew! I'm relieved to hear that you and yours have left and are safe. Johnny and I have been praying for those in the path of that nasty hurricane.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for posting. I'll sleep a bit better.
Oh Sheila, I am glad you are in a safe place and you and your family are in my thoughts and even your beautiful home as well...do you remember that I told you I got chills the first time I saw that pic of your home, it's just so grand and stately and you have made it into a lovely home and I hope everything will go back to 'normal' very, very soon.
ReplyDeleteTake good care,
Bella
My heart can rest just a bit easier knowing that you and yours are safe from harms way! I pray that you return home and find no damage, but things can be replaced. You can't!
ReplyDeleteKady
I keep checking the Weather Channel to see what's going on! I can't believe how many of my blogging friends have dealt w/ hurricanes this year!
ReplyDeleteShelia this is a relief! So glad you left! I cant imagine how hard that 9hr drive must have been on you, but it's over now and I hope you are comfortable, take care of Mr Precious, your mummy and Chloe Dawn.
ReplyDeleteHope to see you back in blogland really soon.
I'm very thankful you got out in time and are safe, sweet chick. My brother and sister are in Houston so I think they'll be fine. I hope so.
ReplyDeleteSmooches and prayers,
Connie
So glad you're safe and out of harms way. I sure hope your beautiful home will remain safe also! Take care and I hope you get to come home soon!
ReplyDeleteOh dear Shelia -
ReplyDeleteMy heart has been so heavy for you and those who live nearby all day today. It is SO good to hear from you and to know that you are safe and out of the way. We are praying much that God will keep you and many others wrapped in His arms. And praying that your home and so many others will be spared. God is good - all the time!
~Adrienne~
Oh Sheila, Thank the Lord you're ok...cont'd prayers for you and yours...hugs ~lynne~

ReplyDeleteWe miss your pinkness today, but you are in our hearts.
I am so glad you wrote to let us know you are OK. I've been so worried about you. You will remain in my thoughts and prayers untill you are back home safe and sound.
ReplyDeleteI'm so very pleased that you are out of harm's way. Thank you for letting us know.
ReplyDeleteWatched Ike on the Weather Channel last night for a few hours and thought of you and the other bloggers in Texas! What a horrible mess. Glad to know you are safe and hope your lovely home will be okay. Kiss Chole Dawn for me!
ReplyDeleteSheila, Thank the good Lord you are safe with Chloe Dawn. This storm is very bad. I pray your home will be safe from harm as well. I was on your site last night and you had not posted at that point. I am so happy to know you did leave.
ReplyDeleteLove you my friend and I am waiting to hear your home is OK.
Hugs...Jeanne
Shelia, it's a relief to hear that you and your loved ones have safely evacuated and are at present out of the reach of Mother Nature's fury. You and ALL those affected by her wrath, are in my thoughts and prayers. Keep safe!
ReplyDelete-Brenda-
A burden has been lifted from my mind knowing you and your loved ones are safe...prayers abound now for all others left behind and that your gorgeous home will be as you left it. ;-) Bo
ReplyDeleteJust came on to check on you! Glad you are all safe! Have been praying!
ReplyDeleteShelia, I live in the Tampa Bay area of FL and have had to evacuate for hurricanes too many times during my lifetime. The older I get, the more apprehensive I become during each hurricane season. Needless to say, I completely understand the fear, dread and worry that must be churning in the pit of your stomach, wondering what will happen to your home. My thoughts are with you and your family. I pray that when you are able to return, you will find your home unscathed from Ike's fury.
ReplyDeleteShelia, I'm so happy to know that you got out of there in time. I hope that you will be able to return home soon.
ReplyDeleteBig kisses to Chloe Dawn, Bridget
I'm so glad you're in a safe place! I hope for the best for the rest who decided to stay. Take care and keep us updated if you can.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that yall got out of there. I cant believe that some wanted to stay. It is so hard to leave everything that you hold so dear to your heart behind. Please know that I will be praying for yall. I pray that your home and all of your sweet treasures that you hole so dear went untouched. The main thing is that yall are ok . The clean up is no fun cause Im still in that process but I count my blessings everyday. Thank you so very much for letting us all know you are ok... We do care and love yall! Pray all is well my dear sweet friend...(((hugs))) Susie H~
ReplyDeleteOh my, I didn't know you lived on the island of Galveston! Thank goodness you guys got out of there!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ooh, I do hope your home is going to be okay, but I'm just happy knowing you, Mr. Precious and Chloe Dawn are safe!
