Septic

Today is Avry's FIRST "day of school." She begins EFC's childcare ministry/preschool and she's gloating with a sense of being a big girl! What an exciting year for us! God is amazing and I sing praises to Him today. Renay and I are gonna exercise together sometime this morning after I drop her off! Hooray!!!!

Okay...so I had my first real breakdown last night over the whole septic system issue. We are still praying, don't have the money to fix it and have no clue what God is going to do. Last night, I visited my mom for a bit and she began to question what was going on with our septic problem. Everything she said was like a knife in my faith. Comments like "You better get that taken care of before you have raw sewage in your house...my goodness, Kara, it could flood your house!"
caused me to panic and picture us desperate and infested with raw sewage! Yikes!!! ahhhhhh!!!
I drove home with that horrible lump in my throat and tears streaming down my face. All I could do is cry out to God to PLEASE, PLEASE provide our needs for this. When I got home, I marched to the back yard and began praying over those stinkin' plugged up leech beds (no pun intended :) and claimed in Jesus' name that the pipes would become unplugged and a miracle would occur!!! I came inside and choked out a few words to John about how I was feeling. I could tell that it made him a bit defensive and he wanted me to know that everything was going to be fine.. How? How??? I keep wondering what on earth God's gonna do to solve this problem?
Then, I'm reminded that He is God...CREATOR....MASTER....GOOD...PERFECT...PROVIDER...LOVER OR OUR SOULS!
I must choose to believe that He has a plan to fix our septic dilema. I'm not even going to attempt to list the possible ways in which this could occur.....why? Because HE is God and God alone!!! So, this is where I am- left desperate and helpless-but full of hope in HIM. I am nothing and HE is everything. Please pray that HIS will is done in this situation.
Love you all!

Kara,
I've been thinking about you and the septic issues. I'll be praying hard for you tonight for God to help you through this!
