In the midst of the sewage, prayers are still answered...

There have been so many times where if something didn't happen at that exact moment, I would never have know something else was going on.  Example...my husband and I are doing some aesthetic work in the house, and he went down to the "scary" basement this morning to get the paint.  He came upon a couple inches of backed up sewer on the basement floor!!  Nothing like waking up to the smell of fresh "caca".  A few hours later, and it was all cleaned up...thanks to the hard work of Brad.

Now, let me backtrack to yesterday.  I was reading my old emails, and came across one from my grandmother, who passed away in August.  These were her exact words, "I know things will work out for the best but I know right now those words seem not so good.... [Joyce Meyers] said while we are sitting around mourning about what has happened God is already planning the next step for you...  Better said   ..... He knows the future, the plans he has for you and they are that you prosper. and are happy."  Even though backed up sewage is not as major as other problems, it could have been worse, had Brad not gone downstairs to look for paint at the moment.  We have had SO many problems with our house, we would not have been able to afford as big of an issue that this could have been.  It was still tough to dig into our wedding money and use it towards paying the guy to clean up this mess, but I'm thankful that it wasn't worse.

Another line included in my grandmothers email was this, "I do know you are  of my seed and I know when I pray he won't let you down."  I definitely miss knowing my grandma is fervently praying for her family...it was comforting to know she was interceding for us in prayer.  However, I know she prayed for protection, favor, and grace for her family, and I know these promises are still being delivered.

I hope this blog has encouraged someone today.
