Chemical Anchors
What a challenge I faced? I am not the most impractical person at home and
here I was searching for a successful solution to a very unstable cement
balustrade. What a struggle! Where do I go? Who do I talk to?
It wasn't very long before plan A, B & C were exhausted, and plan D was being
explored. So down to the hardware store I trundled, armed with the problem and
wallet, ready to pay for answers.
The solution – ‘chemical anchors’! For those, like me, who had no idea what this
was, let me explain! This product is similar in size and looks to a science test
tube. Inside, rather than being empty, it contains two separated substances.
Once these elements combine with oxygen – in other words, when they are
shattered - they set hard like concrete or steel.
Several hours later after drilling quite a few holes into the concrete the
anchors were put into place. Then long metal rods were hammered into the holes
to burst the chemical test tubes. The contents shattered, allowing air to mix
with both ingredients, quickly coagulating into a solid mass.
Mixing God's will for your life with your willingness to be obedient creates a
combination of unfathomable strength.
"For I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from his love." Romans
8:38
Today, let God anchor your life!
