it's kind of weird the way the Lord leads us. people have suggested from the moment we got here to live in a boarding house... that was not at all pleasing to me. a boarding house here is like a hotel room. i couldn't imagine A and i in a room like that... i needed my own space. but as i have a lot of different situations occur in the past 8 months that we've been here... i am just open to whatever the Lord would have for me. open hands, open heart...
i guess you could guess where this is going... A and i are now living in a boarding house - kos. i have moved out of the flooded house.
as i long to be still and know God is God and hear Him... i felt such peace moving here. where A and i are now is actually the house of the friends we stayed at in the beginning, E&F. they have a room and bathroom connected to their house, but outside their side door, off their patio. i guess that's the best way to explain it. i never expected to feel such peace about living in a "hotel", but it is actually so nice. having experienced the crazy things that i have these 8 months, i felt a desire to be with family that could just take care of us if anything would happen. this couple is such a blessing. and their two girls are really good to A. the three of them are now outside riding their bikes in the yard.
TB came to help me for a few days and told A that this is our new apartment. and now that's what we are calling our place. an apartment. it's really nice. i have a whole patio to myself kind of and they have a person guarding the house 24-7, so i feel safe about that.
God is good. although this is definitely nothing i expected... getting flooded out of my house, i feel like right now, i am exactly where God wants me, at His feet just doing what He wants, even if the things i really never thought i would do. i really don't know why things happened the way it did... all in one week, but i never once felt that God was out of control. i sensed His control in all the crazy situations and feel blessed to have the friends i had beside me... especially JM. thanks girl... so glad you came. i know God brought you to my rescue (did you ride a white horse?)... :)
i wish i had a camera to take pictures for everyone to see our cute little apartment/hotel.
please continue to pray for us... as we adjust to the new apartment... and continue to see where HE leads us.
Thanks...
