Humble

It seems this word is being mentioned a lot from many around the world and close to home.

There have been numerous tornadoes, flooding, and damaging winds here in Oklahoma many are convinced they would never live here. Yet, when I look at it I see those helping complete strangers and my heart is softened and my faith grows.

Oklahoma is amazing. Each community is a family and the state always comes together as one. It is full of smiles, open hearts, and helping hands. I feel truly blessed to call this place my home.

Now the word humble. All those who lost or were effected seem to all openly share the word. Those even on the outside looking in share it.

People are humbled by the help they see and receive. It is hard to be completely upset with these past weeks when you see the good pour out of people.

We will rebuild, we will be stronger, we are Oklahoma.

So yes, I know what living here entails and I know that never would I trade it. Tornadoes, drought, winds, earthquakes, and excessive heat make this place my home.
