Part 2-

Okay so I left off waiting on the plumber. Tuesday night since my water was turned off I went to the ladies small group. It was exactly what I needed that night. To be able to get away. We talked about our burning bushes and what we hide from people. So after a great time, I was headed home in almost an out of body moment I seee I wreck and all the EMS, Fire, etc response people come to the scene and because of where I was sitting it was like I could not even move or know the next thing to do. I was just going with the motions. Wednesday rolled around just waiting on the plumber to call me to say he was on his way to my house. I went by my work and talked with a friend and I started crying. At the church that I work at, we have prayer every morning at work at 9:00am so that morning I had not planned on being there but we walked into the circle and I could not stop crying as they prayed. Afterwards, one of the other staff members came up to me and said just let me know exactly what is needed... I have connections to different people. So Lisa came to my house and helped me start the process of moving wet nasty boxes out of the way so that we could begin to get the water up. Water that had been there for a long time. The plumber seemed to thing that the water had been leaking for months but the water bill had not been any higher. When we were able to get to a door where all the water was there was a piece of carpet that was just saturated with water. Then Lisa and I were able to move a piano outside that was behind the door. It is amazing how God gives us the strength to move things that you can normally not do. The piano was sitting on top of the wet saturated carpet and we had to get it over a ledge to get it out of the house. Later on, Alvin and his son came by to give his expertise on the matter and he said that he would help out any way he could. They also helped move some more things out of the water side.

Then another church friend brought a trailer for me to use and his shopvac. I got really good using that. God showed up again with all of that!!!! My plumbing bill had been paid off by someone that said that they were doing it for me because they loved me. Later on, Lisa and I sat down and I told her that is going to be amazing to see God show up through the whole experience. Maybe God will work a miracle in my dad's heart through it all. I prayed Wednesday morning for God to do a miracle and day by day something else is going on.

So early afternoon we decided that we had had enough for the day and we would start fresh Thursday morning. I got ready to go to church. While we were talking with the kids we were telling them about ways that you can let people know that you have the Lord in your heart or that you love him. And I said even when things happen, you have a different perspective on things. You are able to see a happier outcome then becoming bitter about the bad parts about it. It is funny how emotional I have not been. It is kinda of like I am too exhausted to even cry.

I am not sure if that has made any sense at all but I thought writing it out would help me process it at least.

I will share more about Thursday later... one day at a day!!!!
