So moments ago, we discovered a pipe leak in our house. We are doing through the historic and unprecedented Freeze of 2021 that has gone through the Mid/SouthWest United States.
We are in Texas where it’s typically hot! It’s surprising to me these cold temps which have been as low as 12 degrees, have occurred here. Over 10 years ago I remember swimming in February. As a side note, it begs the consideration for climate change as a possibility to be considered. If you’re a christian, these things may not surprise you for it’s also a biblical consideration that is alignment for last days occurrences..
So I didn’t hear the water rushing as it was, but my daughter did! So grateful at that moment she decided to or was led to check on the cat. She yells, “Mom! It’s a lot of water!”. My husband and I come rushing in and for sure! There was water with the sound of a water fall coming in from a corner of a wall. As we run to investigate, we hear the water from the refrigerator. I will admit, I was slow to respond as I was not prepared for the sound of the volume of water coming from a place that was no outright gushing out.
We got lots of towels and a bucket.
Turned off the water at the outside supply.
And cleaned up.
Thankfully the floor is concrete. Previously we had considered strongly putting carpet there, but rules against it. I’m so very grateful now.
We worked together in sync to get the water up. It was about 2 inches of water on the floor.
However, we did it and got it done. So proud of the team work and I’m encouraged. It’s my prayer that those in need, will have their needs met. The at risk, elders, very young, sick, impoverished inside and out would be protected and spared. Heat restored, power restored, water returned, and pipes sealed up! The freezing pipes in homes, cars and equipment will be supernaturally protected and sealed from further damage. In the midst of great loss, pains and confusion. Many will be turned to The Lord for help, peace, guidance and strength. In Jesus name amen.
