Before we left on our voyage I was unable to check the weather in the area we were staying, so I was quite surprised when I heard. "Just came in today so I can check out our site because the weather will only get worse as the week goes on."
No problem I thought, I'll just watch the weather and then take it up with the Lord. Which I proceeded to do. There was a strong chance of rain all day for over half of our vacation. God will take care of us.
The second night there we noticed water on the floor. Not a good thing. A little creek inside the camper, paper towels and figuring out where it came from was a big help. We realized the window behind the kitchen sink was dripping and the water filled up the slide out. Of course the water needed to come out somewhere this is why we had the creek.
The next morning thought a tarp would take care of the problem, so my husband put one over the window and half of the slide out. This seemed to help the creek stop or at least become just a puddle. Paper towels were constantly changed as the rain decided to stay.
Thankful that we discovered the leak because this was happening when the camper was in storage as well, we pressed on. The Lord let the rain come at night most of the time instead of during the day, allowing us to do the things we planned. Even though we got soaked to the bone while riding horses.
The worst happened the day before we were to leave. The skies just opened up and now a waterfall fell inside as well as the creek. Tears filled my eyes, it isn't suppose to rain inside. One of my cabinets filled with a half inch of water. Not fun. The tarp was removed and the slide out put in. Eventually the water fall and creek dried up the rain though outside lingered on. The water damage inside the camper is evident. I was so ready for sunshine again.
Three hours after our voyage home began we saw it, the bright shiny thing in the sky. It was so nice to see the sun after not seeing it for days. My husband even insisted we picnic in the sun, not the nice shady picnic tables. No, the one right in the sun.
Sadly as I looked back on our vacation I wondered why did this happen? Why did it have to rain so much? Why did it need to leak inside? I wondered why God had this as his plan for us? Was He even there?
As we unpacked the camper a surprise was found. Something shiny caught my eye as I emptied my closet, what in the world was that? My cross necklace! Seriously, I lost it over a year ago and don't remember losing it in the camper.
God sending me His love. "See I am with you always even when it seems dark, I got this." God shared with me. He will lead me in the way I need to go even if that means I have to deal with a mess. God took care of us.
