Here's Hoping
Today I filled out a rental application and income verification for a house nearby. I have been praying for a house since before Charlie died. The other day I told God that I was not going to give up asking until He gave me a house, preferably my own house on my own land, but I told Him it could be a trailer in the middle of a field. In the Bible Jesus tells a parable concerning a widow who had been wronged and went to the judge about it. She pestered him so much that he granted her what she wanted to simply shut her up (Luke 18:2- 5). I was thinking that maybe I could do the same thing since Jesus talked about it. I am not telling anyone to do this, but we all have a unique relationship with God and He knows what we need and when.
A couple of days ago my Pastor recommended me to a friend of hers to rent a house that's becoming available in the next couple of months or sooner. It turns out that my younger son went to school with her as well so, I think God sent me this house the way it looks. We're all praying that I get it. It is also within 5 minutes of my children so, that's an extra blessing. I love being with my son and family, but they need their living room back and I didn't think it would take this long to find something I could afford. I can honestly say I am a bit nervous because I have not really filled out rental applications except for a couple for waiting lists. Here's hoping I get a text or email that the home will be rented to me. Now I need to come up with the security deposit. I know that if Jehovah Jireh (God our provider) sent me this house that He will also help me with the security deposit. He is always on time, sometimes at the last moment, but never late. I trust Him implicitly because I can and have for quite a long time. I don't understand why He does what He does, or tells me to do at times, but I know He is always right and has my best interest at heart because I am His daughter.
