I realized that I haven’t updated on the water situation at THE121.

Shortly after my post on Sunday, my friend called and notified me that he was heading over to check on the situation again. I was already on my way to church and asked if he needed me to stay home, he assured me that he didn’t need me.

There’s beauty in surrender. I worshipped freely resting in my God who controls all things. When it was time for the sermon, the title popped up…Trusting God… I laughed out loud! And I’m pretty sure a few heads turned my way… YOU can listen to the sermon Here (and I HIGHLY recommend you do!) but suffice it to say, God was speaking to me! My take away was this …

Did I know when I left church if my situation was going to be different? No. But what I could do was change my perspective.

I chose to be grateful for the army of friends who offered to help. I chose to be grateful the Lord revealed some major idols in my life. I chose to be grateful the Lord taught me further dependency on Him. Were there tears? Absolutely. But I didn’t stay there. I allowed myself to lament and then changed my perspective.

So where does that leave me?

This morning I took my first warm shower in THE121 in a week!

My friend was able to identify that the line running to my dishwasher broke and thus causing the leak. So all in all I need a new dishwasher but I am BEYOND grateful that it wasn’t my hot water tank or my water filtration system.

AND my friend sent me this text last night,

And sure enough…I am listening to the sweet sound of water filling my tank as I type…

Not today satan, not today.
