Well its nearly three weeks now since
the geyser incident and I'm still sleeping downstairs on the sleeper
cough waiting for the insurance approvals. I'll only be able to do
the work once I go on leave, so I'm guessing I've got at least a
minimum of another three weeks to go. Each night I try to bring down
a few things and make space for them downstairs and all the while, it
feels like I'm stripping something away from my life.
That may sound strange considering it
is just furniture, clothes and other normal living items but wrapped
up in all that are the memories. Memories of the day I first walked
into my house nearly 10 years ago and looked at the bare apartment
and decided to make this building home. Memories of great joy and
wonderful experiences, and memories of sadness and pain.
With every item that is removed from
the current room I prepare my heart for the joy of closure. The joy
of being able to look at the past and celebrate the successes and let
go of the failures and look forward to something new. I have faith
that God has brought me through a difficult season and as much as my
home is about to start a process of renovation, this mirrors the
truth of the renovation that has taken place within my soul.
Whatever season you are facing right
now, have faith in God! He who began a good work in you, will be
faithful to complete it!
