♕ Today's Promise: “A time to plant and a time to uproot what is planted.” Ecclesiastes 3:2
After my journey began we were forced to move out of the home I grew up in, where I resided with my mom and family. Currently, my living arrangements with my children are not one that many people would embrace but I would not change it for anything. At first I was ashamed, embarrassed and filled with pride and guilt, not wanting to share how I was living and how I was having to raise my boys. BUT I have met my Heavenly Husband here and my life has been forever changed. I have learned to be grateful and thankful for the roof over our heads, the food in our stomachs and the bed we sleep in every night.
You see what was once our family activity and fun, camping and making memories in, our family 5th wheel, has now become my home with my children and we are parked on a church parking lot (pretty crazy as I have let go of my church, ironic isn't it)? I don't say any of that for sympathy or pity. You see I have gained more victories and miracles living this way then when I did in my family home.
I have been praying for an open door for me to move my children into a home but I know He is in control, and it will happen in His time. Recently, I was told that I would have to pay triple to four times the amount of staying here. I thought how will I ever do it, as I do not make a lot of money and I am providing for me and my teenage boys? After the conversation, I went to pray and left it at His feet because I can't do it. He's going to have to.
From that conversation, one thing has happened after another and my God, oh how He is worthy to be praised!!!! This is all for Your glory, honor and praise my Love. This is all for You, You deserve it all. I am just in awe.
About 3 weeks after I was told about this increase, my 1 year anniversary at my job came up. The day of this 1 year anniversary my bosses told me as I came in they were giving me a 10% raise. I was blown away and shocked. About 1 week later, I was informed that the amount I was told I would need to pay to stay here was no longer going to be the amount discussed. I only need to pay, yup that's right, the amount of my raise, not one penny more!!! I offered to pay more and I was told it was not necessary or wanted, just the amount he just told me.
This is all the work of my Heavenly Husband. He is my Provider. He exchanged yokes with me. He took care of it all. He is my Shield. I thank You my Love. I praise You. Thank you for blowing my mind and being in full control. You showed up just in time, like always.
"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." Isaiah 41:10
