clogged drain

We have a manufactured home. Therefore it was built in a factory and brought to our lad and placed on here.  There are some definite advantages to this, our house doesn't look like a manufactured home, doesn't feel like the typical old school one, but there are also some major disadvantages to it.  One thing that we have noticed is that our pipes get clogged ALL the time.  Currently our stand up shower has become more like a 3 inch bath tub. 
Prior to that, our sinks were filling up with water.  My handy and handsome hubby was able to take the drain off and clean it all out so that our sinks weren't overflowing while washing our faces or brushing our teeth or just washing our hands...  Unfortunately, there is no real good way to get to the drain under the shower.  We have tried different approaches. but it is perpetually clogged up and I think that we may even go the plumber route. 
It is nasty what comes out of the clogs, it is gross stuff- hair, black tarry goop that has built up from spit and germs etc...  Do you have somewhere in your life that isn't draining properly?  Maybe you haven't cleaned out the drain and asked God to take away the nastiness in one area of your life.  Maybe there is a portion of your life that you are holding back from God.  Things are building up inside of you, but you don't want to, or don't have time to clean it all out.   You don't have to clean it out - God will come and clean it and then his water - HIS JOY can rush through your whole life again without being hindered. 
The Bible tells us in Jeremiah 29:13 "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all of your heart."  Are we seeking God with ALL our hearts?  Are we allowing our drains to be cleaned out of the gunk that prohibits God from flowing through our whole house?  Seek HIM with all your heart!

do I mis-use the Bible?

WOW!   This morning I sat and started to read through Ecclesiastes.   I don’t know if the author of Ecclesiastes, Perhaps King Solomon, had a very sarcastic view on life or if he was just babbling.   But I can definitely see how this book could get a lot of people into trouble if they don’t know the full book or continue to read.   There are verses in there that say things like; eat, drink and enjoy the days on earth because they are meaningless, it is good to enjoy your time on earth and do not worry about anything. To get the full meaning of the book, you need to read it all- the true gems are the last two verses.   This book was written by someone (according to my study Bible) that was near the end of his life, he sees man in pursuit of so many things and vainly pursuing hopes and expectations- but faith teaches him that God has ordered all things according to his own purposes and that we need to accept our limitations.   The last two verses are the wr...

Don't throw fits!

Yesterday I blogged about how we need to be like little children.   Jesus loves the little children.   He tells us that if we are not like them, we cannot enter the kingdom of heaven.   I HAVE little children and they are amazing, but I have to assume that little children back in the day didn’t throw public fits or kick and scream and want their way.   Proof is actually in the Bible – they didn’t have the media helping their kids learn to curse their parents all the time.   The punishment for going against your father and mother were harsh!   See Leviticus 20:9 “If anyone curses his father or mother, he must be put to death.   He has cursed his father or his mother, and his blood will be on his own head.” God wants us to be like the little children that he writes about in the Bible, not necessarily the kids that we see all the time around us now.   Some are very well behaved, but some just aren’t.   I can only assume that He wants us to foll...

Center of God's Will

I was very blessed to go over to some new friend’s home last night and talk with them and others about life in general.   As the topic turned solely to missions late in the evening (as this couple used to travel around bringing the good news to kids around the world, and then lived in a different country for 3 years sharing the gospel) I said something like, it must feel amazing to be right in the center of God’s Will.   To have to rely on Him for protection from the most random events; to have to rely on God to take you out of situations that are dangerous; to rely on Him for every provision that you are given; and most importantly, to be brining the message of Christ to all nations under heaven.   Can you imagine?   Knowing that you are supposed to be right where you are, doing what you are doing, right when you are doing it because you have to, and have chosen to, rely on God for every little aspect of your life.   Well friends, I am not out spreading the me...
