God's Faithfulness

Have you ever had a total God Day? That is a day where everything you do, or do not do, falls into place like puzzle pieces, something you have been praying for and out of the blue it comes to you. I had one of those a few weeks ago. As I have said before, I am living with my son and family after my husband died. I have been here a whole year now and have been praying for a house because I do believe I have worn out my welcome as they would like their living room back to make it a theater room for movies and family time and I need my own place, as well.  A couple of weeks ago my Pastor texted me that truthfully out of the blue her high school best friend messaged her to tell her that her mother's house was coming up for rent and did she know of anyone who would be interested in renting it. She thought of me and gave me a great recommendation. To add to this being from God, I believe with my whole heart, my younger son went to school with my Pastors and this high school friend so, I have the house with no credit check or anything and am going to look at the house this coming Friday, but not sure what time yet. 

God is so very good and faithful. I had said to Him that I would ask Him every day for a house until I got one and one just fell in my lap, so to speak. I have found that God gives you what you need, but not necessarily what you want. I want a 3-bedroom house but was offered a 2 bedroom at a price I cannot pass up with housing prices these days. I have learned over the years, I thought, to be careful what I speak especially when it's heartfelt. God absolutely hears and answers mine when I cry out like that in desperation. I told Him whatever home He chose for me have at it, I would take it, and this one gets offered to me. The past 2 places I have lived in and loved were offered to me in the church I was in at the time as my Pastor had 3 churches on her charge and these 2 homes were absolutely perfect for me and Charlie; great places and we loved them. I'm hoping this one will be the same, even though we are in a different church. I suppose the church doesn't matter; He is still the same God. I have always said that if God is in it, it will work out wonderfully, but if He is not, it will not work. Everything I own, with the exception of a few things, are in storage getting ruined so, I am very much hoping this home will work for me. My younger son and grandson will be living with me for various reasons. Thankfully my grandson is only with us 3 or 4 days a week as he is still in the wheelchair for a bit, but he is also doing very well with a walker. The issue is that he cannot climb steps yet as he needs to still strengthen his leg and hip. When he is there my son will have to camp out on the sofa I suppose. Anyway, it will get figured out. 

I am thanking God and praising Him even though I have not even seen the house inside yet because I know this opportunity is from Him and knowing that I know it will be a good thing. In the Bible in Romans chapter 8 and verses 28 God says that He will work all things to good....His word is truth so I know I can count on Him no matter what.
