The Stopped Up Drains of our Lives

So I was sitting here just wondering what I could post. What had happened in my life lately? What had God done? Because our plumbing seems to be backing up into our sinks these days my mind seems preoccupied with that. So I wondered, "What can I learn from these annoying drains and the plumbers who work on them?" I was drawing a blank so I asked Mom and she answered simply, "Patience." So now we know what SHE was thinking. But for some reason I was not satisfied with that and so I began to think harder. Then ~BOOM~ (well not quite like that) I wondered, "Why is my life like that drain sometimes?" So picture it with me--my life ~yours if you like~ --like a drain. Sin gets washed into my life everyday. Sometimes more than I can take. Sin will build up and completely clog my flow. Soon it backs up and I am overwhelmed by it all. So then what can I do? I try the world's solutions and "plunge" away at the problem. But that does not help. What else can I do but call my Plumber. (I hate referring to God as a plumber--He will certainly flush everything bad out of the line) God comes and makes everything drain right again. What I love about God is that He never refuses when He has to come again and AGAIN to clean me out. How does you drain--I mean life--look right now? Do you need to call your Plumber and have Him come and clean you out agian? It makes me want to do some soul searching right now.

By the way~ our drains are still stopped up and our plumbers are just having issues with the whole thing. Aren't you glad that our God does things right--the first time? May I never get in the way of what He wants to do!
