Why will my hole not fill up with water in Minecraft?

So I was heading back to my castle and I saw a Creeper looking at me through the glass from INSIDE THE HOUSE. The windows he was frowning at me from runs the length of the house and he is right in front of my bedroom and only about 10 blocks down the hall from my crafting area and chests. I have only been playing for a few days and if he blows up, so does all my stuff in my chests. So I dug a hole in front of the glass he is in front of. Its 3x3x3. I dug a trench about 4 blocks long to a nearby giant lake thinking I could fill up the hole and break the glass, thereby drowning the creeper. However, when I do this the water just flows into the hole but never fills up. What is up? How can I fix this? I know other people make lakes so what am I doing wrong?

    Probably because you have the server that is not compatible with the certain feature of the game...

    Good luck!

    i think of you are able to desire to place one bucket in step with block, like no count if it is a 5 extensive sq. and a couple of deep, you are able to decide for ten buckets of lava. i'm raelly unsure nevertheless. Mess approximately with it in resourceful mode. Lava does not behave like water. If it have been water then you relatively could only make the eternal spring (4x4 hollow, placed a bucket of water in opposite corners).
