I feel like I'm back in Colorado again. When I was out there, the Lord Blessed me a lot. But seemed like when He did that a trial would come soon thereafter. So it was blessing, trial, blessing, trial, blessing, trial...over and over. I failed a lot of them out there, but I did catch on and it taught me, patience, trust the Lord, have faith in Him. So I pass more of them now.
So as you all know, the Lord blessed me pretty big recently. It was like the money to buy tires for my truck just fell out of the sky! I got them on Wednesday and praise the Lord I did! I've been trying to get those for a couple years now! Well, the trial came calling now. My water heater took a dump last night. All over the floor. I thought this thing was not that old...
Checking it I find that it's a 2014, not very old. 5 year warranty, prolly 2 weeks out of warranty that's how they build them nowadays. But I am broke! The Eagle crapped Wednesday, so I paid all my bills, and got those tires on got groceries, and now, no way do I have enough money for a water heater.
So I'm asking for donations to buy me a new water heater....sic! No I'm not. That would not be faith in God. When I first seen it and I confirmed it was the tank, and also that I am broke, I did what I should do. I praised God! I just thanked Him in the faith that, I know it will work out somehow. I dunno how, but it always has and does. The Lord is my Shepard I shall not want...Well I shall not want for hot water then, right? Right. Strangely enough, I had just showered, did the laundry and the dishes, so I'm good today
I checked prices. Man they are outrageous now. Not being licensed here I can not buy one wholesale at a plumbing supply. I got all those thoughts in my mind about how to handle this..all of them would be, against faith in God. So I told my flesh to shut up and just Praised God some more...
I believe that Normal Christianity should bring you a new testimony almost every day. Certainly at least once or twice a week. And that's how it has been for me pretty much. You Brothers and Sisters know, I have a lot of testimonies and a fair amount that I've not even shared here. Some prolly don't believe that I speak the truth or am deceived in wanting them to be true. I don't care if people believe me or not. Just give me your card number and I'll run it through, and the Lord will bless you. lol! .. Oh wait a minute, that's those guys, not me! I don't sell or ask for donations so have no reason to lie.
So I can see the Blessing now. A buddy I used to work with at the first horrible HVAC company here does have accounts at the plumbing houses. I also found out that this Rheem water heater came with a 6 years warranty on tank and parts! And dad being a plumber left me everything else that I would need to change this water heater. So Praise the Lord Indeed Brothers and Sisters!
It's cold and snowy but I have good tires now so it will be alright. The Lord gave me the unctions (obviously!) to do laundry. dishes and shower right before it went out, so I'm blessed in that regard also. God is good Brothers and Sisters! All you have to do is to trust what you can not see. That can be difficult. but believing it unseen is almost like a kids game or something. I don't understand all these things but I'll trust Him anyway and say and do things that make me look foolish to the world. But I don't care about that. I'm getting a new water heater for free. I will, though it's not confirmed yet. But I know it'll go through. So what started out as a trial or test of my faith turned out to be a blessing now cuz that's how God rolls! So let's all Praise the Lord!!
I give much praise to God for this!! I have so much thankfulness in my heart. I appreciate all that He does for me!!
