Dear Friends,
For some reason I resisted writing this message today. I thought who wants to hear more about our hot water pipe leak fiasco. And then I heard a song from the past with words that said; “I fought the law and the law won…. I fought the law and the law one.” I had to laugh because I was “fighting” an intuition that would not quit. The poem, “Footprints” entered my mine and so I released, let go and let God win.
Someone reading this today needs to know God is Always either walking with or carrying everyone in all challenges and crisis’s. God is moving through us as decision makers, and problem solvers. Sometimes we ask ‘Why Me God?’ Every experience we go through is a Spiritual Lesson for our Highest Good. Challenges make us stronger, more compassionate and grateful. We are then in a position to help others when they are facing their own challenges.
Some weeks ago I shared how we had a hot water pipe leak. That was fixed, and then the demo happened taking out the toilet, parts of walls, flooring and cupboards in the bathroom, hallway and laundry room. We had to wait until it dried using professional dryers in all three areas as well as the dirt basement. Once that was complete we waited for the insurance check to cover the restoration. It came and I realized not only did Steve and I have to sign the check, our mortgage company did too. So I sent it to our mortgage company and when I called to see if it arrived, I had an unfriendly agent on several occasions. Even my insurance agent said they would not talk to him! On Feb. 12 I called one more time and had a delightful agent who helped me understand the signing process and timing. What a change and relief! On Valentines Day I thought the check would arrive in a week or two, however God had other plans. As a Valentine surprise the check arrived that day!
Throughout this process of dealing with a leak. no hot water, water damage, in the house and dirt basement, the warranty company, insurance company and mortgage company, at times I felt completely alone. Then I looked at my daily prayers written out and realized everyday the prayer was answered in unique and wonderful ways. I am never alone. Sometimes I felt it was only me, then, like the poem said, …”The times when you have seen only one set of footprints, is when I carried you.” So true. Everything was always in God’s hands and arms. We finally felt God’s choice for the Restoration company and at some point they will begin working on our house to put it back together.
In the meantime I will continue to feel blessed because we have a roof over our heads, heat to stay warm and food for nourishment. God is orchestrating this process. God is the mitigator, the desk and field agents, the plumber, the demo crew, the insurance agent the mortgage agents (friendly and unfriendly) and the reconstruction workers! God is in all as all.
Wherever I AM, GOD IS and All is well! I surrender and allow God to carry me through this process and know it is already finished in Divine Mind because God as Divine Law Always Wins, and works for me. Amen!
Lovingly Carried,
Abigail and Steve
