Please help pray for Mexico.


Omg, my heart is breaking as I watch this terrible news coming from Mexico where there has been flooding and mudslides from all the rain. This video shows the danger and disaster they face. Unbelievable. Angel and I could have been there. It is terrible and I am saying lots of prayers.


I have been translating some news articles into Bing Translator so I can understand better. I had no idea it was this bad.

http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/09/17/us-storm-ingrid-idUSBRE98D0AH20130917

Mexico's famous beach resort of Acapulco was in chaos on Tuesday as hotels rationed food for thousands of stranded tourists and floodwaters swallowed homes and cars after some of the most damaging storms in decades killed at least 55 people across the country.

There is a hurricane hitting Mexico's West Coast today. Please I ask you to take a moment and say a prayer, to think a calming thought...for winds to calm, for water to calm...for Mother Earth to calm down, for the wind and the rain to calm. I am praying for all the wonderful people in those areas that we met when we travelled, for friends and families. I am sending this little angel to watch over you all. Please God look after all these wonderful people and keep them out of harms way. Please Mother Nature, let there be peace and calm.---

Do you ever wonder if all the tensions and negative energy around us create these negative events in nature? I heard a man speaking recently saying that we are one with nature...we are not outside nature. Perhaps if we all calm down, Mother Nature will calm down.
