The Great Apartment Flood

Thank you to all who continue to visit this blog. I wanted to let you know that I’m still writing here; however, this month has been challenging on many levels.

The Apartment Flood

I’m currently with a family member who had major surgery about 5 weeks ago. About 2 weeks after surgery, their apartment flooded. The flood was caused by a maintenance error, which woke us up on a Sunday morning at 4. It felt as if we were in the Flood from Genesis. 

Water was pouring down from a third-floor burst water pipe, and we were on the first floor. So, you can imagine the amount of water pouring down from the walls and ceiling. We and everything in the apartment were drenched.

It felt like we needed Noah's ark (Genesis 5:32-10:1) to get out safely! Thankfully, we were able to get out OK and find a place to stay. We were in a hotel for three weeks while everything was sorted out. I won’t go into details except to say that we were two adults and two cats in a hotel room for three weeks. You can imagine what it was like for us!

Our Current Situation

My loved one now has another apartment, and we have moved out of the hotel. We’re waiting for their belongings to be packed and brought to the new apartment. It looks like this may be done in a week or so. We’re all doing OK, though we’re still living like we’re camping in the new apartment. The cats now have more room to roam and are much happier. My family member and I are doing pretty well, too.

There's still a lot to take care of until the moving process is completed. Once that's happened, I’ll start writing once a week again. I have to say that God has been good and has supplied all our needs, and then some, as it says in Philippians 4:19 NKJV, “And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”

While we’re doing OK, I would appreciate your prayers as we continue to go through this situation. We will feel your prayers through the Holy Spirit and gain strength to tackle what yet needs to be done.

I’ll be back to writing once a week again soon!

Thank you, and God bless,
