This is a blog which I hope will give you a little faith and inspiration. My mom has been staying with me a few months during a convalesing period. From the beginning I was not sure I knew how to care for her or even if I could. Our house is not necessarily built or arranged for such not-so-easy times. I began this journey by praying that God would be with us, would give me strength, would provide healing, patience, and love. It has been an interesting journey. When I needed something... it was there. When I needed help..... it was there. When I needed patience.... I took a deep breath and it was there. We have discovered how to do many things... including climbing stairs. Every day I thank God for his presence in our lives and for his healing hand.
Tuesday I heard on the radio and TV that the area should be prepared for this very large amount of rain.... my prayers continued. My thoughts were that we just could not handle the day where our energies would be focused solely on a basement of water and pumps. Wednesday morning I awoke to water surrounding the farm buildings and the drainage ditch full of water, which is always a sign of danger in the basement. We immediately went to the basement to begin our day long routine of pumping and mopping to find it.... you guessed it.... dry! How can that be? God heard our prayers and I am forever thankful. I truly give him glory and praise for that miracle on a day when we needed it. I continue my prayers for everyone who has been effected by the high water this week.
