We are so grateful that our pipe stayed firmly in place...in spite of the tremendous amount of pressure hitting against it. All of Dave's preparation really paid off.
When he looked at our driveway, he figured that it must have been the hardest rain we have had since we moved here. Our driveway had been firmly packed down. Yet, it was dug up quite a bit by the water running down the hill and down the driveway. It is not bad, although it is pretty rough, especially compared to what it was before.
It can be like that in our spiritual lives, too. If our spiritual lives are firmly in place on the rock of Yeshua/Jesus, we will be able to weather the storms of life. Oh, we might get beat up a bit and our openings/hearts may get plugged up a bit...but Yahweh/God will clear the stuff out of our lives that blocks Him from having free flowing access through us...if we let Him.
I know that I simply could not do life without Him. I don't consider that to be a negative thing. I think of myself as being enveloped in His love.
From our little RV on the hillside to you in your home, wherever it may be...I hope that your spirits are free in Him and that His Spirit flows freely through you.
Semi-pioneering, home educating family of three living on 7 acres in the MidWest. These are the mom's thoughts/ramblings about our life, spirituality and whatever else pops up. :) Please feel free to post comments and/or questions. I will get to them as soon as I can. We would love to hear from anyone who is reading along here.

Weathering Storms & Blocked Hearts!

Creek Crossing Washout?
Dave got the pipe about 65% done. Then a rainstorm blew in that was only supposed to drop about 1/4" of rain. Ha! It has been raining buckets all afternoon and evening. The water was totally covering the pipe.
You can see it partially done a few posts back. I did not get pictures of the stage in between that one and where it was before the storm started.
We are praying it won't wash out our pipe. If it does, we lose the pipe and all the time and money and work that went into it. It will be a loss that we have no way of recuping outside of a miracle.
I am trying to upload a picture of the water level, but the upload image window keeps giving me an error.
