This is a photo taken of Ryan a few weeks ago, walking on the labyrinth at the park nera the river in our town. You can see the river in the distant background.
Unfortunately, we've had copious amounts of rain and reached flood stage on Saturday. I saw it on Saturday and it creeped me out how close it was to the bridge spans. Yikes!
On Sunday, we went back to this same park. The waters had receded substantially but the water was churning angrily and moving so fast.
The water here was actually up to the rocks around the edges. It had gone down several feet from Saturday. At least you could see bridge parts under the spans decently.
The water has begun to move south and is now causing problems along the Mississippi and it's tributaries.
Sometimes in our lives we find that the floods come and overwhelm us. We have trouble believing that it will all be okay again.
There was a man who, when talking to Jesus, pleaded, "I believe. Help me in my unbelief." I think we forget that when floods come we have a place we can go in refuge. If we're having trouble believing that it'll all be okay we can pray for that belief. Ask and it shall be given. If you want to believe, and you ask to believe, you will be blessed with belief. The next time the waters rise in our lives we can fix our eyes on the one who can comfort us.
Have a good rest of the day.
Keep your feet dry,
Much love and joy,
Karen
