23,000 Gallons Later...

So yeah, I preached on the previous blog on Sunday, and when I returned to TX and pulled into my driveway after being gone all week, I was given an opportunity to practice what I preached. My sprinkler system, which I haven't turned on since we have lived in our house, out of the blue decides to come on...the week we are out of town for the holidays!! For all I know that water could have been running steady for 6 days straight! For a Church Planter, that is already stretched financially, emotionally, mentally, physically, spiritually, and so on, this was beyond a huge deal.
So, I called the water company yesterday and the lady told me I should probably set down before she read the damage to me. They had just read the meter, and we had already used over 23,000 gallons of water! We typically use around 5,000 in an entire month! Thank God that she is going to work with me due to my unfortunate circumstance and cut the usage nearly in half....for real, THANK GOD!
All of that said to say....I still will not be moved! Satan is defeated and Jesus is in control, I refuse to be moved by any circumstance.
