This blog entry was written last week under generator power after a windstorm hit the region the night before. I was curious if many other people were affected by the storm, so I pulled up the Puget Sound Energy outage map, and this is what appeared covering the Seattle eastside area from Tacoma almost up to Everett. I am near the little blue dot.
It may seem overwhelming how many people were out of power, but we know that forces were working to get it restored. It reminds me of problems we face in life that seem insurmountable. With prayer we can trust that God is working on the problem and cares about what we are facing. He may not answer like we expect, and we may need to wait while we follow Him. But God has a way of working in our lives.
Hopefully, everyone got his or her power back quickly. The news reported that crews arrived from other locations including Canada. Some people may have needed to find accommodations depending on their needs, and in general, everyone needed to have patience.
