8 You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord’s coming is near.
Today has been a long but very good one. We had a wonderful day up at the Master's Hands. We had a steady slow this morning of clients coming in, mixed with the flow of water coming under the back door. We got it stopped and mopped/shop vaced up and put some sand and rocks to help stop it. Well a little later it was glowing in again. Bev and I we outside in the rain trying trench the water away from the door, we had another volunteer out there with us. We all got drenched, but we had a blast. We finally got it stopped and that was the last of it for the day. The afternoon was pretty busy and we were shorthanded, but we did fine and got everyone through good. I had to run out twice to get items for someone, because I didn't get all the info first time. Hopefully lesson learned. I have done some housework and promise to do more when I get up from here. Diet was pretty good today and although I didn't exercise per say, I got a lot of walking in. I will be doing the Bible study on Wednesday again, so I am getting that together. Steven had a good night and fell asleep easy. Of course, he threw his real laptop and 2 toy laptops this morning, so he didn't have those tonight to play with. I am still unsure if he will get them back tomorrow or Wednesday. Bryan went towards St. Louis way again, not sure when he will be home. Anyway, the patience was tested all day. I had people needing me in three places at times. I had to be patient that we would get the water under control. I had to be patient with people who had the same question every week for the past 3 weeks. I had to be patient with the chaos this afternoon. More than once I had to ask God to take the negative feelings from me. But, the good thing is, he doesn't get tired of me asking for his help.
Take care and God bless,
Sherri
This is from a couple of weeks ago, but it seems to not have changed much as everything is still flooding.
