    Many of you have reached out asking how you can help- while nothing can be shipped in as of now, I thank those of you that have sent donations. Our families’ budgets have been quite shot (obviously) as we’ve had to gather so many supplies. I’m trusting the Lord heavily as we make our money from posting content and everyone in the home that has physical jobs won’t be able to work for quite some time as the town has literally been wiped out.
    It’s going to be a long recovery- and we thank you all for the prayers and support. If you’d like to help monetarily, you can scroll down on our website and make a donation directly to our families: www.heavenlymindedhome.com/
    Or to the fundraiser for the continual recovery: gofund.me/91b06a5d
    Have a need or additional way to help, let us know: tally.so/r/wLJd7G
    Forward and share this- I know many businesses, churches and individuals have been looking for ways to help! And this goal amount will be simply a drop in the bucket to all that is needed for so many here in this area-- and many here in the HMH Community.
    Otherwise- keep watching our videos and let those ads play 😅- we make a little money off of each view but it can definitely add up! Share our videos and encourage others to watch as well! Doing things like joining the membership here on UA-cam, buying anything from our affiliate accounts (using our Walmart link and getting your normal items, signing up for Primal Queen, getting Rocket Fuel nail treatment, etc…) all has a profound impact!

    I talked to my nephew a few hours ago. He , along with 7 other trucks took supplies to help. His box truck's brake's gave out, at Lake Lure, NC. He pulled into the parking area of Full Gospel Revival Church. He said a lady came out and after talking a few minutes, she ask if she could pray with them. My nephew said her prayer, had every man there in tears. What resulted following was God revealing himself. * one thing I will share---one the church members, remarkably had years experience working on trucks..of course, he repaired the big box truck ! The supplies were delivered and God gets ALL the GLORY !

"For God SO LOVED the world, that he gave his only behotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Thats Gods character and Jesus rose again, and ow sits at the right hand of God.
      But the devil comes to kill, steal and destroy. You wanna mock God and doubt His goodness when there's an obvious answer for this tragedy? God gave you the free will to do so but just know, it breaks His heart thst you don't choose to see His goodness in your life or His compassion for mankind. And of a certainty, there will come a day where every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confress that Jesus Christ is Lord...🙏

      ​@rosannejimenez1756 exactly! He WARNED us these things would happen in His Word, especially in the end. He allows it, but Hecdiesn't desire it. HAARP I'm even admitted that they can manipulate the weather. Look at how unnatural the path of Hekenw took, as well as Milton, which is on its way. The patterns are just not normal at all for hurricanes...like AT ALL. This is an attack from our adversary and he is using his people and angels to carry it out. Oh, and it's probably later in the game before Jesus' return than we think. Everyone says we are in the Great Tribulation or about to enter it. But has it occurred to anyone that the 1000 year reign of Christ has already happened and we have bern in the final deception, abd that we are in the last small chapter of that short season? That would mean that we're not waiting for the 1000 years of Christ's kingdom on earth. It would mean that we are at the door of Jesus final return for the final judgment. Either way, it's nearly imposdible to think we can't be about to face one of the 2 events.

      This isn't exactly hurricane damage in WNC. It was no longer a hurricane when it hit there. The rain during the storm and BEFORE caused most of the devastation. 20 inches and devastating flooding was forecasted for WNC days before it hit. It looks like that was spot on. 20 inches in the mountains and then washed down into the valleys is not good.

It is amazing how bad this storm was for you and our areas. We are praying for all those affected. We were so blessed to have no damage. Our dam was overflowing so bad it submerged our water pump house and we were without water for almost a week. We lost cell service for four days, but that is all we had to endure. It is wonderful how people are stepping up to help. Our government cannot do enough. It takes neighbor helping neighbor. I'm glad to see all the people who are helping. Prayers going up for all of you.

I heard the terrible truth about government’s help during both disasters from them and my heart breaks for people who are suffering and can’t get help even from those that are trying really hard to do so. But God is above all power. He can hear you from any corner of the world. One family of 3 ( that witnessed) were praying desperately for water and food after Helene when all help was denied and they were forced to stay inside. And as soon as they ended prayer someone has knocked on their door with 3 little lunch boxes. I pray for God’s love upon all who is struggling and for His protection and blessings upon those who offer any sort of help.

    I live just a couple hours away near Charlotte. I think one thing that happened that made it worse was the amount of rain we got the day before Helene ever hit. The ground was already saturated and then there was more rain and the wind.
    The devastation of WNC & East Tennessee has been just heartbreaking. Entire towns have been wiped out. Many churches, individuals, and organizations are getting supplies up to you all. It was difficult in the beginning to even be able to get to that area to bring in supplies. So many roads destroyed.
    Continued prayers for all of you! We are donating to local agencies who are bringing supplies. Yes, God is good. We dont always understand the storms that He brings to us - but He always sees us through. 👆🙌🙏

    My house sustained some damage (part of the roof was ripped off, so it literally RAINED in my master bedroom), & I'm wading through water inside!! But my house is standing; no loss of life, just LOTS of mopping up & stuff to the curb. I found your video encouraging & strangely comforting!! Thank you!! (& Thank GOD!!) May you continue to be blessed (& may your ordeal end soon, w/out further incident.)

    I just randomly clicked on your video. I currently live west of Morganton. I lived on the coast for 30+ years and have been through hurricanes, tornados, and even a mid-size earthquake. I'm also a retired Duke/Progress nuc design electr. engineer. Your comment about Duke made me chuckle! You're on point about Duke corporate.....rates hikes, bureaucracy, etc., however, Duke's saving grace is their line crews. They are awesome! You're correct in that some folks will never recover from this and that on a state/federal response level, they have failed miserably. Social media is full of posts substantiating that. I'll leave it at that. I'm glad you and yours are safe and returning to the 'new normal'.

      Tip for staying warm without electricity: Old school rubber hot water bottle.
      If you can make sure you have a way to heat water, you can stay warm. Using the hot water bottles as pillows in the curve of your neck or lumbar (when seated), it will warm your blood as it circulates. That will keep your extremities warm.

    • @davidloewen5528

      From what I understand, FEMA is getting the big stuff moving, I just watch a CBC interview with a Canadian power company which is sending trucks down to join the armada of power trucks from many states. I understand they are supporting the states, who seem to be mainly responsible for the immediate response, by sending helicopters, money, food and stuff in waves as they can be absorbed by local relief efforts. I heard Biden say they are going to make people whole, I think he used the word “everyone”, which might be a stretch. I am sure it was meant as encouragement to people, taking those first steps to survive. The first immediate response does need to be local as simple as neighbours looking out for each other. Getting mobility for transport is priority 1, rebuilding an entire power grid almost from scratch without mobility is a very tall order. All while there is another hurricane aimed squarely at Florida to hit two weeks after the last one. I may have a few things out of order, but I would think it is all hands on deck. Best wishes. It will take time and there will still be challenges.

    You’re right Katrina was bad. I was 70 miles away in a little town called Houma Louisiana. I can remember when my dad was alive. He said if this ever happens to us again, I’m just gonna leave the property and move somewhere else. He was not going back, if the house was too damaged. To this day I still live in that same house and both my parents are gone. I have been remodeling the house and my contractor had 5% left to go before the home was redone. Came through and destroyed every single thing that I had rebuilt. So I do sympathize with you thank God I still had the insurance policy that my parents had it still cost me $17,500 for the deductible but it was almost 100,000 that the insurance company had to poke out. They tried to lowball me, but I called their supervisor and got him and the adjuster out there with my contractor and showed them receipts. They were floored! My house has not been the same floors are buckling because the cement absorbs moisture so that’s one thing I have to do is replace my floors and it’s only three years awayfrom Ida pass. And I stayed for Ida and I can tell you if there’s another one like that I’m out of here.

I was told once to not ask God why? But rather “what?” Keep seeking the Lord during this trial. Your light is shining dear sister!!
    James 1:2-4 NASBS
    Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, [3] knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. [4] And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
    My prayers are with you!!
    I’ve never seen devastation like this either. I lived in south Louisiana for 22 years and went through many Hurricanes. Rita hit our church with evacuee’s in it. It was supposed to go through Houston but came to us. It was a challenging time. No water or electricity for weeks.
