HomeI have to admit. I don’t like problems. Recently, we have been noticing some water outside our foundation. Seemingly leaking from the kitchen sink. I’ve been doing some sleuthing and I have found that it is in fact a leak. Today I pulled away the siding and then found where the water was coming from, then went inside and took out the dishwasher, cut through the drywall and identified the leak. It’s been leaking for a while. bummer.
I have a friend that is going to help out. He’s a plumber. Still, I’m a person that doesn’t handle such problems well. they consume me. In essence, I get stuck in a loop. I can’t get out. I can’t stop thinking about it. It is frustrating. What’s more frustrating is that I know that I’m being that way and I can’t stop it. That is frustrating. I’m not supposed to worry or fret and yet I do. It’s not the end of the world, it’s fixable. But since I can’t fix it immediately and since I have like zip for experience in plumbing, I freak out and worry about it. It gets me down. I have to force, or rather FORCE, myself to think on other things. One thing that helped today is just trying to recognize the God stuff that is at work in the midst of my non-trial.
God provided a friend who is a plumber that can help us out. God has orchestrated a cool relationship between us and this couple. There is, up to this point, no water in my basement and no major damage. God provides and takes care of us more than I realize. In the midst of such situations, He is there working. Who knows what all else will come of this. For now, I am just thankful that HE is always actively working, regardless of my performance or my do-while-worrying loop.
Father, thanks for your grace and purpose and means all of which are beyond my comprehension and yet I am able to see them. bless our time tomorrow and this project that we might be back in working order soon. In Christ, Amen.
