A little over two weeks to be precise. Not a long time to most probably, but for me its been 16 very long tear-streaked, prayer-filled, God's-hand-is-working-mightily-in-my-life days. It feels like an eternity has passed by.
There were numerous trials but one in particular stands out. So here's the praise report:
Two weeks ago Monday I had to go to court because my landlord wanted to evict me. The "why" is a long story but it wasn't because of non-payment or some other kind of irresponsibility.
The landlord's attorney told me that there was no negotiation to be had and that they wanted us out A.S.A.P. I decided to ask for a hearing but I was basically told that cases like mine are virtually impossible to win. So I started looking for another home.
I prayed and prayed and yet I was being denied at place after place because my income was too low or because I was in a dispute with my landlord. Then there was the added burden that everything available was at least $200 more than I'm paying where I am. As a single mom with four kids, that's a huge chunk of money. The situation seemed absolutely impossible.
But not to God.
I got a phone call Friday - my landlord didn't want us to move and wanted to work something out!!
I couldn't fix it, but God could. I couldn't work things out, but God did! Yet again He shows me how His power is made perfect in my weakness.
It was a horrendous two weeks, everytime I turned around it seemed as though something else was being dropped on me... but I'm still here and maybe I'm even still standing. Our God is a truly AWESOME God!!
