Before I went to China this time we had heard rumors of a sewer project on our street. This rumor had been floating around for years....actually heard about it first when we went for Hope - 10 years ago. This time however it sounded more likely, there were actually surveyor marks on the road and little colorful ribbons on the bushes.
We turned it over to God.
If you know anything about township sewer projects you know that they are expensive. First they inconvenience the neighborhood by digging holes in the road, then they charge you for the inconvenience. Then after they put in all the pipes you have to pay your own contractor to dig a pipe out to their pipes in the road. Then you get charged quarterly for the amount of sewage you produce.
We didn't have the money sitting around waiting for that kind of project. I caught hubby with the calculator figuring things and trying to figure out if the home equity line of credit could be stretched one more time.
Well today we got a letter in the mail bearing the township's logo. I opened it expecting to be advised when we should expect the digging to commence and how to apply for a loan.
But wait...! what did that say?!
"because your main building is more than 150 feet from the road you WILL NOT be required to hook into the system."
That my friends is a direct answer to prayer.
