It's been a strange year as the drought threatens crops throughout the country. So, when it rained this morning - even a thunderstorm - I was Praising God for the water He gave us. Then it happened. I got a call for help.
The "storm destroyed our booth."
The flood of memories began.
- I remembered storms leaking water into our old worship center and drying out carpet squares in the sun in preparation for weekend services.
- I remember a backed-up storm drain causing a flood that literally rained down on top of the platform, coffee bar, and tables & chairs in the worship center.
- I remember it flooding so bad that we held our worship service on the land. "The rain came down. The waters rise. Through it all God will provide."
- I remember the flood being so bad two years ago that God used it to move us out of the basement and into our current building.
- I remember storms destroying one tent per year for the first two years we participated in the fair. No tents have been destroyed since we started renting them from this company. This must have been a really bad storm!
We rallied the troops. Several people started to call in and offer to help. When we arrived, though, we were pleasantly surprised. The tent was fine. The shelves holding the church fliers had blown over. Papers had blown about and gotten soaked. The tent was back up and running in less than an hour and new fliers were printed for every church by mid-afternoon. God does provide.
Go team!
Praise God!
