This week has been one crazy whirlwind that has kept me away from blogging. This weekend I promise to write and catch everyone up on life and ministry here in KY.
In the mean time please pray for club day at LCHS today. I will have the opportunity to share the Gospel with many students through two FCA huddles. We can’t wait to see how God is going to work!
Well, after a very long day we are finally able to use our plumbing. About 5 tonight we were able to get things working properly after cutting the main drainage pipe to the septic tank and running an auger to open up the line. I temporarily put the pipe back together with a cuff and in the morning will seal the line back up for good.
The best news is that we are able to shower, flush, and just live normally in our home again. I am so thankful for everyone who helped us out today and tomorrow as well. I am definitely not gifted with being a handy man, but thankfully God blessed me with people in my life who are!
Last night we discovered a bad plumbing problem of our sewage backing up and coming out in our basement bathroom. My dad came and helped us try to fix the issue last night but we were unable to get things going. So, since last night at about 9 pm we haven’t been able flush or shower which has made things interesting.
This morning though my dad, Scottie, and Steve came over and helped us use a big power snake to clean the lines out and use some liquid fire to clean out the rest of the lines. Now we are waiting for the stuff to work.
Please pray that our pipes will open up quickly and without having to spend a lot of money !
Today we will be having our weekly after school Bible Study at Lee County High School. Please pray for us as we are talking with the students about the value of having friendships with the wise vs. fools. So many of our students often get drug into situations because they allowed themselves to fall into friendships and relationships that are unhealthy. Pray that maybe this study will get our student to make changes they need to with friendships that aren’t healthy as well as look at themselves to see whether or not they would be a friend that is considered wise or one that is a fool! 
When we moved into our new house the other day it was a huge relief after weeks of wondering when and if we would sell the old house and when and if we would be able to close on our new home, and then wondering if we could get all the work done in time to move in when we wanted. God blessed and all things fell into place at just the right time. And with the help of several awesome friends we were able to move!
Since moving though I have been pretty disconnected with the world. Until today we were without both internet and tv. On Monday we were supposed to have the tv installed, but things went very awry. The installer called over an hour later than he was supposed to to let us know when he would arrive. By that time I had to head to the Rec Center leaving Erin to meet with him. He ended up showing up even later, being very incoherent, to the point Erin thought he might be high. He also complained that installing anything would be impossible without looking at the house. And the final straw was that he forgot all his tools and the right equipment and wanted Erin to lie to the company and tell that it was her fault that he couldn’t do the job so that they wouldn’t fire him.
Needless to say I called up DishNetwork and told them about the whole debacle and let them know that I didn’t want that guy or his installation company back in my home. Thankfully they were very apologetic and allowed me to call a local installer who did a great job installing everything today!
We also finally got our internet hooked up and so now we can keep up with the outside world. It feels good to have a lot of pressure off of us now and to be connected again. Thanks for all your prayers too throughout this whole process!!!
