Well I found out from a good friend that my chimney needs to be taken down. It's old (I'm guessing it's original to the house which would be 83 years old!) and erroding. So I'm on the hunt for someone I can trust/won't charge me an arm & a leg to do it...I have friends standing by to help if needed.
So I was actually surprised I didn't totally FREAK OUT when I heard that...I [normally] would have huge anxiety over the unknown (mainly how I will pay for it). But for some reason I felt okay that day...and I figured out why ;o) Because this last week the Lord had been preparing me for something "bigger" (now to some that isn't a big deal but He knows what I need). I had a weird up and down week (see my last blog) so I had spent a lot of time in prayer. And I'm reading "Practicing the Presence of God" and I had just read about resting in God ALWAYS and when hard things come you'll be okay (paraphrase). So I realized that as I wait on Him...learn to trust Him...seek Him for the everyday things...He will provide all that I need! And this weekend I needed peace/hope. Wow...it seems so simple...why don't I always spend my weeks/days/moments resting in the Lord?
So if you know anyone who has experience in tearing down chimneys let me know :)
