Honestly, the catastrophic rain that this city has seen is surreal. Harvey made landfall in Rockport, TX on Friday night as a Category 4 hurricane, and the storm has been on a destructive path sending its awful rain bands all the way to Houston.</p>
<p data-imagelightbox="g"><img data-p3-pin-title="Hurricane Harvey: Ways You Can Help Texas" data-p3-pin-link="http://www.sevengracesblog.com/hurricane-harvey-ways-can-help-texas/" class="size-full wp-image-5851 aligncenter" src="http://www.sevengracesblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/IMG_6025-1.png" alt="" width="749" height="500" srcset="http://www.sevengracesblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/IMG_6025-1.png 749w, http://www.sevengracesblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/IMG_6025-1-300x200.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 749px) 100vw, 749px" /></p>
<p>As many of you know, my hometown of Port Lavaca was evacuated last Thursday, as it&#8217;s only 45 minutes north of Rockport. My family hasn&#8217;t been able to make it home yet, and they&#8217;re getting tired, but they&#8217;re thankful to be safe. My best friend is praying for the creek she lives on to hold off from flooding her home.</p>

<p>My dad just drove through Rockport today to help a friend with roofing supplies, and the devastation he saw he said &#8220;looked like a war zone.&#8221; Homes and businesses completely destroyed, dead animals on the road, and debris everywhere.</p>
<p data-imagelightbox="g"><img data-p3-pin-title="Hurricane Harvey: Ways You Can Help Texas" data-p3-pin-link="http://www.sevengracesblog.com/hurricane-harvey-ways-can-help-texas/" class="size-full wp-image-5845 aligncenter" src="http://www.sevengracesblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/IMG_6037.png" alt="" width="1280" height="719" srcset="http://www.sevengracesblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/IMG_6037.png 1280w, http://www.sevengracesblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/IMG_6037-800x449.png 800w, http://www.sevengracesblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/IMG_6037-300x169.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p>And now here we are in Houston, glued to the news watching rescues of friends and neighbors, pleas for help, and evacuation and flash flood warnings being posted every hour. This weather even is unprecedented and some areas will see more than 50 INCHES OF RAIN by the time this is all said and done.</p>
<p data-imagelightbox="g"><img data-p3-pin-title="Hurricane Harvey: Ways You Can Help Texas" data-p3-pin-link="http://www.sevengracesblog.com/hurricane-harvey-ways-can-help-texas/" class="size-full wp-image-5850 aligncenter" src="http://www.sevengracesblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/IMG_6006.png" alt="" width="715" height="720" srcset="http://www.sevengracesblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/IMG_6006.png 715w, http://www.sevengracesblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/IMG_6006-150x150.png 150w, http://www.sevengracesblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/IMG_6006-300x302.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 715px) 100vw, 715px" /></p>
<p>Our city is devastated, yet people keep showing up. It&#8217;s been beyond heartbreaking to watch friends leave their homes by boats and kayaks, yet they still give thanks to God to be alive praise HIM in this storm. Please continue to pray for our city and all of our friends south of us and around us who have experienced so much devastation from Hurricane Harvey.</p>

<p>Pray for the officials making decisions, pray for the people being rescued, pray for the people doing the rescuing, pray for the families left with nothing but <span class="text_exposed_show">the clothes on their back and a beating heart. Our city of Houston is resilient, yes, but we still need help. Here are ways you can do just that:</span></p>
<h3><strong>Donate &amp; Volunteer</strong></h3>
<h4><em>UMCOR (United Methodist Committee on Relief)</em></h4>

<p>Straight from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/jenhatmaker/posts/1385354201563571" rel="nofollow">Jen Hatmaker&#8217;s Facebook page</a>:</p>
<p>We are mobilizing funds as we speak. You can trust that every dollar will do the most good. We don&#8217;t give to orgs or leaders where we cannot track our donations straight to the<span class="text_exposed_show"> need. Our vetting process is air tight.</span></p>
<div class="text_exposed_show">
<p>You can join us if you have no idea how else to help. The truth is, Houston and the coast doesn&#8217;t need our stuff right now. They don&#8217;t need to wade through boxes of used clothes or things. They need financial help. Those other things will come, but right now, that sort of intervention just creates more work for them. We learned a lot after Katrina.</p>
<p>You can give a one-time donation or join our collective (we steadily fund sustainable solutions to systemic problems month after month together). We&#8217;re committed here.</p>
<p>I was telling a friend that it feels like watching our beloved neighbor&#8217;s house go up in flames, unable to get close enough to help. Here is a start: <a href="http://legacycollective.org/harvey/">Legacy Collective</a>.</p>

<p>THEY WILL MATCH EVERY DONATION YOU MAKE UP TO $100,000. So, your donation will be doubled and every penny they receive from you will go to those suffering in Texas.</p>
<p>From the Facebook&#8230;<br />
&#8220;Please let us not allow the fact that we cannot fix everything keep us from fixing something. Give a little with great love. That&#8217;s how we heal the world.&#8221;</p>
<p>You can give on <a href="https://app.mobilecause.com/form/xVzQ0A" rel="nofollow">their website</a> or text TR4TEXAS to 41444 to get a prompt to make a tax-deductible donation.</p>

Chelsea<span class="text_exposed_show"> plans to head to Houston at the end of the week to start helping in any way she can, and to get people the items they need. Here is a list of what we&#8217;ve been told are the highest priority items. If you can donate and are in the DFW area, let her know and she will pick up. If you can donate monetarily so the coalition can purchase these items, that would be a HUGE blessing too.</span></p>

<p>My best friend who is waiting for her house to flood (I&#8217;m still hoping for a miracle) shared this verse today that she has hanging in her kitchen, saying it was a sweet reminder that God was near. Philipians 4:11-13</p>
<p>May God be with you during this storm, y&#8217;all. And if you&#8217;re reading from afar, thank you for your help and your prayers. So much love, friends.</p>
