One of God’s Many Blessings!
2007
While trying to buy a boat all I’ve been hearing from friends and family has been, “Where would you take a boat around here?”. You see, around Sweetwater all the lakes have dried up to almost nothing. There is a lake that is close by, Lake Colorado City, about 20 minutes away. So naturally I would respond to all the comments with, “Well, Lake C-City is just down the road”. I had made the comment that the lakes around Sweetwater would fill up but all I would get in return was “yeah right, maybe ten years from now”.
The deal is I had faith that the lakes would fill up soon. I don’t claim to know the future but I do have faith in God. And by having faith in God I knew that he would fill the lakes up when he was ready. Well, guess what, he was ready Friday night. It started raining Friday evening and didn’t stop until Saturday afternoon. When the rain stopped falling Lake Oak Creek was running over the spill way, Lake Trammel was running over the spill way, and Lake Sweetwater was very close to running over the spill way. What a blessing this has been for all of us in this area. It didn’t take days or months of rain like everybody thought it would. It took something like 12 to 14 hours to fill up all the tanks, creeks, and lakes in this area, wow. That has to be millions, several millions of gallons of water.
God is Amazing!
