"When you're down to nothing, God is up to something." It's so good to remember that God sees the big picture! When we surrender our lives to Him, we can trust that EVERYTHING that happens to or around us has come across His desk first. He sends the good things and allows the bad things to help us develop more of His character in our lives...and that's a good thing!

I was down a while ago because of some financial stuff but took a minute to recoup and tell myself, "I've partnered with God in this. He'll pull me through this, doubtlessly!" He's got our back in more ways than we'll ever know! Oh so true. I was down a while ago because of some financial stuff but took a minute to recoup and tell myself, “I’ve partnered with God in this.

We have had a major clog in our main bathroom toilet for a couple of days. We have a bathroom upstairs that we rarely use (and the toilet up there doesn't work very well either) but with little boys in the house, running up and down the stairs to use the bathroom for all of us was starting to get really annoying, not to mention the disgusting knowledge that the toilet in the main bathroom on the first floor was going to start getting pretty stinky. We had tried plunging and using a 3 foot snake, and more than a couple trips to Home Depot for commercial strength Drano type stuff. This evening we gave up, and before he went to bed Mike said "I guess it waits until Monday; you never call a plumber on the weekend!". I sat watching TV for awhile getting more and more mad about that toilet. Finally I put some rubber gloves on, went and used a cup to get all of the nasty water that was in there out and dumped down the tub drain, and starting "plungin' and prayin'". I don't think I prayed about it before, but this time it was just me, God and that toilet. I was asking God to help me and go in there and remove whatever it was, that it had to go. And all of a sudden the water that was in there started to drain out. I gasped and stood back in amazement. I didn't even believe my prayers were going to work! I had to watch it flush like three times before I believed that it was actually working again. So I say all of that to say this-I came in here to take a load off and I got to your blog, and boy did I know that I had to share my excitement here-he DEFINITELY has our back, all the time, in the things we can't believe we should even bother to ask for. (kinda changes the meaning of "He plunged me to Victory" doesn't it???!!!!) Sorry. I couldn't help myself.
