Good day to all of you out there. Yesterday was day nine of our fast and oh what a day...
But first I have to tell you that I advise you all to read chapters 7, 8, and 9 of Daniel. I have been reading them and even though I have asked the Lord for clarity, I don't seem to have a great deal of clarity on these three chapters...I need some help on them. I think I will read some Bible reviews to help me with my understanding.
The past couple of weeks we have been dealing with an issue in our home, concerning plumbing...okay I will be quite honest with you I now consider this a dirty word! Ah yesterday, thank you God that that day is over. We have been dealing with, potties not flushing properly and water not going down in the tub, water coming up in the tub. So I have been using as little water as possible, this isn't easy...there are dishes to be washed, laundry to be done, showers to be taken, toilets to flush...what a couple of weeks this has been, but yesterday was the icing on the cake...and not a cake I wish to have again.
I came home for lunch yesterday and there was some water in the tub in our bathroom...okay no biggy so I went out to the kitchen and got my lunch and before I went back to work, I believe God moved me to double check the bathroom. Thank you Jesus, the water was about three inches away from the top of the tub and the toilet was about one inch from overflowing...we have gotten a lot of rain lately and it seems to have decided to come into our house! So I started bailing, the more water I took out the more water replaced it. I finally got the toilet down, although it was still refilling. I got the garden hose and finally was able to get a siphon going, have any of you done this? Sucking on the end of a hose, well let me tell you I did a lot of spitting! But the important thing is I got it going. Just call me Pioneer Women! Meanwhile I called my work and said I wasn't sure if I would get back I had an emergency to deal with at home....which was okay, I also called my husband and said please do not stop any where on your way home, please come straight home! I have been praying and asking God to correct this problem, and sometimes God gives us the tools to correct our own problems which he did. My one boss said what septic company to call and after Tim had found and dug out the clean-out lid we did call, and my oh so positive Timmy said I doubt they will come today, I had faith that they would and they did! Thank you Jesus! Isn't God great? I think so. And don't forget to watch for Him to show up even in the simple things such as plumbing... God I thank you and praise you for the goodness and the blessings that you constantly bestow on me!
Now go and be blessing yourself! I am going too!
