There's nothing like being kicked when you're already down.
The hubs needed to get some things from the basement yesterday, and to our dismay, when he went downstairs and found water in the basement. Well, we thought it was just water...turns out it was something way way worse. It was backed up sewage. Yeah. Nasty. Not something we wanted to see when walking downstairs. Standing sewage water. All throughout the basement. The worst part: a lot of it went into the washing machine. Disgusting.
So this is all discovered yesterday and we have to vacate the house. We have no use of the bathrooms, which is a problem. Thanks to my mom and dad for putting us up for the night.
Let me tell you that my husband is amazing! He went to work right away getting things out of the nastiness and sucking up the water while I took the Bug and ran went to the parents' house.
Unfortunately, all of these complications with our sewage more than likely means that we need our septic tank flushed. That costs money. Money we don't have because it apparently you have to jump through more hoops than a circus to get your business license here. But this morning we found a "fall special" online and we knew we could make that work.
One problem, our septic tank wasn't full.
It was a clog.
That wasn't a part of the "fall special."
But it had to be fixed. It had to. We kind of need to use our dishwasher, washing machine, and bathrooms to live. So we had to dip into savings and use what we had to get fixed.
And it hurt. We don't have the income coming in. It has been extremely difficult to get the hubs's business started. And extremely expensive. It's borderline ridiculous and extremely frustrating. We're trying to figure out how to gather the money and get things started, because we believe that once things get started, God is going to do wonderful things. But the problem is getting the ball rolling. There have been so many things stopping us and redirecting us and curve ball after curve ball have been thrown in our direction.
Today, I posted on my Facebook page asking for people to share with me their favorite "God will provide" verses. Here is what they gave me:
Pretty good verses to meditate on.
Now the trick is to trust those verses. So I go to bed tonight trusting that God will provide all we need. We will wake up tomorrow with a new day and will trust that God will give us exactly what we need, no more and no less.
And tomorrow brings a much needed date night with the hubs!
