3 Years Ago Today

I hope this helps someone tonight or even tomorrow. I don't know why God wanted me to write this but when He says write I write!
3 years ago I woke up to a beautiful day. Got ready and went to church with my little family. Went out to eat afterward and then went home to rest before that nights service. Everything was fine though I had my suspicions. An hour later my son and I was homeless. My husband came to the door and after a brief conversation he said I want you and your son out. Just like that after 13 years of marriage. He did go an buy me a battery so I could take the car. We packed everything we could in that little car, and just like that it was over. I called Pastor Ray and told him what was going on and asked for him and the church to pray. When I left that house I had no clue where I was going or what I was going to do...But God did. I was driving aimlessly through town BUT JESUS took that wheel and guided me to my little church on the hill. We walked in broken, ashamed, and embarrassed. But we left knowing God had a plan. We stayed with my mom and dad for awhile, we stayed in a hotel, we stayed in a womens shelter (I know now God had a plan for me at that shelter), Tyler had 2 week long hospital stays during this time as well. We never gave up we kept going to church and knew that God had plans for us. I applied for housing with a waiting list of up to a year. But God stepped in 2 weeks after entering the womens shelter the call came that there was an apartment available. I took it sight unseen, because this was God's plan. He blessed us with a home and He filled that home with furniture and things we needed not a dollar spent. What a blessing that was!
I may get down and out at times, I may get so tired that I don't want to go on. I may have to walk places at times. And I may have to miss a meal or to if things get that rough. But I know that God is getting me ready for something bigger and better than I can ever imagine. Even though I grumble and complain, I thank God daily for getting me to where I am and for seeing me through to where I am going. He has blessed us beyond measure and I know He will continue to do so. So just because I grumble and complain doesn't mean I losing my faith, it just means that my faith has wavered and I need to keep my eyes on Him.
Please keeps us in your prayers, as we always keep you all in ours.
