Storms, Rain and Our Ark

“Hebrews 11:9”

Soupy wet this a.m. with some more to come. The mold is rampant, so are the allergies. I’m sure I’m not the only one. Toward yesterday evening, I was so miserable, I had to put my own self in a corner! 🙂

Our yard is like walking on chocolate pudding. I was thinking that this has to be the worst I’ve ever seen . . . But then remembering the farm where it was natural for pigs to live in mud . . . you can imagine when that clay mud got saturated . . . We learned to live with it, muddy to our knees. Of course, as kids would have it, the muddier the better; however, Mom wasn’t too thrilled about it.

Going back in my mind’s eyes, is still the vision of riding the ruts of the clay mud road. When Nate would come from his metro-ish lifestyle and concrete streets and roads . . . if he had been driving, I would insist on taking the wheel when we got to the mouth of the hollow . . . Because I knew how to take on the muddy ruts and make it up the incline. (Gravel? Paving? What was that? (Something we couldn’t afford)

With or without rain, life can be a slippery slope with muddy murky ruts . Knowing God is vital to staying vertical. Noah was instructed to make his boat . . . But our Lord Jesus gave “Himself” so we can ride the ruts, keep our heads above water and stay spiritually afloat. He is our ultimate anchor. Life can be a rough ride but abiding with Him, “each of us have an Ark!”

Genesis 7:12
“And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.”
