He is the Lord...

Well, that whopper of a day, and that whopper of a week is turning into a whopper of a month!
We have had 7 full days of rain. I was starting to think that I knew exactly what Noah felt like. The relentless pattering on our roof finally caused a leak to spring, in the middle of the night, directly over our wonderful lab's bed. And I thought she kept waking me up because she had to go to the bathroom.
Before the seven days of rain, we made a trip seven hours east to Saskatoon, where Blue's parents live. We had not driven Blue's big diesel truck for awhile, due to insane diesel prices, so we were unknowing to a serious problem lurking beneath the hood. To make a very long and gory "car trouble" story short, we stayed a few days longer that planned in an attempt to temporary fix the problem so that we could return home. We almost made it. About thirty minutes from our house, the good attempt failed. We sat on the side of the road, and the inside of our cab was completely silent. By the way, that was amazing. The silence, I mean. We were discouraged, beat down, wondering what in the whole, wide world God was trying to teach us, and there was nothing to say.
As Blue walked across the street to phone a tow truck, I looked at his slumped shoulders, and wondered how much more that wonderful man could take. I remembered Samuel telling Eli that his two sons were going to die because of their disobedience, and Eli said, "It is the Lord, let Him do what seems good to Him."
Yes, Yes, Yes!!!!! Bring it on!!! No matter what happens, IT IS THE LORD, and He is good, and I WILL praise HIM!!!
