Over the past three weeks, God has been stripping away our family's desire for comfort and stability. Last update, I mentioned some trouble in our home. Thank you for praying for us. Here's a little bit of what our family has been through recently:
- Returned from Myrtle Beach to find the A/C in our home was not working properly.
- To avoid the heat, we decided to stay with my parents for a night and came back to our house to find a a toilet had run all night and leaked all over our downstairs. Parts of four different rooms were ruined by the water damage.
- It has been three weeks and the drying company still has not completely dried our downstairs. Blowers and dehumidifiers are still running.
- All of our downstairs hardwoods need to be ripped up because we were unable to match new flooring with that which remained.
- YESTERDAY, the repair crew came by to rip up the tile downstairs to more completely dry the subflooring but instead of ripping up the downstairs, THEY MISTAKENLY RIPPED UP THE UPSTAIRS BATHROOM TILE. We were shocked, stunned and very upset.
- After three weeks, the floors are still not dry, the downstairs hardwoods still need to be ripped up and now the upstairs bathroom tile needs to be removed and replaced.
- It's now been seven weeks since we lat slept in our beds and it looks like it'll be another 2-3 weeks before the damages are repaired
In the midst of all of this, I've been reminded of Philippians 3:21 which tells us that our citizenship is not here on earth but rather in heaven. Life as a sojourner or a foreigner is not usually easy. And such is life for the Christian. Even in these small things, we are reminded of our need for a Savior and long for Him to return soon.
Thank you for partnering with us. Thank you for interceding on our behalf.
-Zach, Amy, Zachary & Mae
