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!

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...

Duct Tape

Starting tomorrow I am offering duct tape classes at church for our day camp type program called xplore 2011.   Now… for those of you that don’t know this – I am a little duct tape fanatic.   I love that there are different colors, I love that you can cut it and mold it and shape it and make just about anything with it.   My biggest projects have been purses and wallets, but I also have made tiaras, necklaces, earrings, hair bows, jackets.   I was commissioned by Duck Brand Duct Tape to do the jackets as well as make a lot of flowers.   I think it is a lot of fun! In these camps – we want to have some type of children’s message and I have been struggling to figure out what exactly I was going to talk about until a lady from our church yesterday informed me that we were going to be having a lot of kids from the lower income section of our town coming to this camp.   For my – my response was FANTASTIC!!!   She then reminded me that I needed to make sure...

Wedding Bells

My little sister gets married on Saturday – I am really super excited for her.   This is a huge deal and she has found a great guy to get married to.   The wedding will be fun, but the marriage is what counts.   I really think that they are going to be so happy together and I am so excited.   Before the marriage starts though, we are having a big old hooplah- celebration this week – soooo…   since I don’t own a lap-top, I will be taking a break from posting for 1 week   - to resume again on Wed the 27 th . Back to today’s devotion though.   With all the wedding talk, it has really made me think about how we are to be the Bride of Christ.   The Bible talks about it all the time.   Song of Songs is kinda the “weird” book in the Bible.   The bride to be and bridegroom are talking about each other and how much they love each other.   It just this morning occurred to me that it is how God wants our relationship with Him to be.   Le...
