Today I had chores on my list of things to do, lately though, on my list has been worry about how I'm going to pay for the missing room mate in The Red House. I don't intend to worry, it just happens. In fact, I have even had to tell myself over and over again that last year when I spoke to my parents about moving into the house I knew that God would have just the right group of ladies there, all the time. Shortly after that we went through our first transition when one of the first got married and now we are going through our second transition with another taking off on an adventure to Idaho. This time though, we are nearing rent being due and do not have a replacement. My worry is that I can't afford to pay both my rent and the missing rent too, or my utilities and the missing utilities. BUT God knows that so I just ask for peace and pray for the perfect gal to come along.
One of my chores today was to stack some firewood. A task that I really dislike, but I'm so thankful that my dad is donating it so we'll be able to use the wood stove instead of the gas heat this winter. The other gals were busy doing what they had to do today so I was on my own to unload the truckload of firewood. A wonderful man I know offered to help, but I knew full well, he had his own chores to tend to so I went about unloading the firewood. It was humid and drizzling and pretty miserable but it was also quiet. I took the opportunity to talk to the Lord, it was casual conversation, but as usual, lately, my prayers were laced with worry...about my future. God had 2 answers for me.
His love and watchful eye are everywhere. He reminded me that He loves me and that I need not worry.
And now looking at this post I realize how very interesting life can be!
