Looking Beyond the Storm

Typhoon Ondoy's devastation in Brookside didn't spare us. Our house was submerged in water as well as our three cars. We evacuated to a nearby school building to find refuge there. Under my lens, I took photos to document the onslaught of Ondoy. In my heart, at first I felt sadness but this was converted to an iron-will and still - positivity.

I'm looking beyond the storm. I can see that God just wants to replace the "old" with the "new." And I am happy that though "replaceable things" maybe lost our family is safe and sound as well as our loved ones. Thank you Lord.

We are still together even in the storm. And this storm didn't take anything away from us. It just added something to us. It made us more better, more closer and more secure in the loving arms of God.

These photos I took will just be a testament and a memory of how will God bless us more and greater things are yet to come, I see that. Yes, It made look beyond the storm. I am looking on the Lord. I'm looking on bigger possibilities. I'm looking for a brighter tomorrow.

The storm has passed but our determination to live postiviely will not pass.
Much more, God's favor for us will never pass away.
Let us all look beyond the storm.

This is the condition of the flood before we left to evacuate.
Brutus - our dog. We also took him for evacuation.

My brother-RJ and Dad traversing the flood
The water continually rising, twas a scarry moment
God will give me brand new one, yipee.
My brother RJ- still smiling in spite of the flood.

After the storm. My room.
The TV floated and amazing after the storm, it' still functioning.

The purpose in life lives on.
