Well, God opened another door. 😊
H’s mom was arriving from California today at 4 p.m., so we needed to be out of the house by then. We had talked with DD, and he said the house was all torn up as he was trying to get it ready to rent. He said he’d check with his wife and call us Friday night or Saturday morning to confirm if we could come back. But all morning, as I was packing, I just couldn’t shake the feeling that it wasn’t where we were supposed to go. I didn’t know where else we could go—but deep down, both Tom and I felt certain God had something else in mind.
That’s when God stepped in—again.
I had a walking appointment with a friend who, back when all of this began, had offered her home to us. But by the time we returned from our California trip, her mother-in-law had moved in, and we assumed it was no longer an option. Today, when I told her what was going on, she offered her home again—and just like that, we had a place to go! From nowhere to go in the morning… to a warm invitation by noon.
God is soooooo cool!
Later, H sent me a devotional from a book she’s been reading. She said it was for me—and wow, it was spot on. Here’s what it said:
"My princess, go where I send you."
You seek Me for your place in this world, and my answer to you is wherever you are standing. I love you and hear you pray to be used by me. Nothing pleases me more than when your love flows warm and free. When you are willing, I am ready to place you somewhere to be a blessing. Even the smallest effort can lift the burden of someone else when you are living in My power. You won't always understand why I send you to do things that no one else will see, but you don't work for others, you work for Me. What you do now will be seen by all on the other side of eternity. So go where I send you today, knowing that I have prepared the way.
Love,
Your King who is the Way
1 Corinthians 15:58
"Be strong and steady, always enthusiastic about the Lord's work, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless."
That devotional spoke so directly to my heart—it was like the Lord Himself was reminding me that He sees, He knows, and He’s leading the way. It was yet another blessing in a day already filled with reminders that He is sovereign, and that He provides.
