Well, the kids finished their showers earlier this evening and I went into the Master Bath to find that it was flooded. Along with a small part of the Master Bedroom. When I ran to get some extra towels, I found that it was going under the walls and into my kitchen area. My first thoughts were…thank the Lord for Homeowners Insurance. And, as I begin to ponder it all. I thought…Lord, you gave us this house (it’s an answer to prayer)…and we are here for a reason. So, whatever reason it is that this is happening, I completely trust you. It is in Your hands and You have it under control. Then the following set of scriptures came to my mind.
James 1:2-4 NIRV, “My brothers and sisters, you will face all kinds of trouble. When you do, think of it as pure joy. Your faith will be put to the test. You know that when that happens it will produce in you the strength to continue. The strength to keep going must be allowed to finish its work. Then you will be all you should be. You will have everything you need.”
We had an awesome service this morning and it encouraged me to step it up and not be ashamed or afraid to be what God has called me to be. (Thank you, Brother Lucas McManus for following the leading of the Lord for service this morning!) And, tonight that faith of mine is being tried. But, I believe that God doesn’t make mistakes. He is allowing us to go through this for a reason and I trust that when will come out on the other side of this situation .stronger. ♥
