Problem solved - God is goodWe have sold our homestead in Indiana and have less than a week now to pack and move to Minnesota!!!!! We prayed the Lord would bring just the right folks and that He would continue to use this place for His glory. I just talked with the new owners yesterday and the woman told me she knew God brought her to this place. She knew we were Christians when we walked in the door and the decorative painting drew her as well. One room has a prayer of St. Patrick's painted as the border.
When I painted our walls and murals four years ago, I had a sense that I was painting them for our temporary enjoyment, but that I was also painting them for the next family that was supposed to live in this house. I told the woman that the Lord had me paint those walls for her.
She confessed that she was a backslidden Chrstian and was ready to turn her life around again. Her mother died two years ago and her last wish was that all of her children would walk with Jesus. She is from upstate New York, grew up in the country and really wanted that for her young children as well. She wasn't surprised that we home-educated and asked some questions about it. Towards the end of our conversation, she shared she thought she might re-consider homeschooling. Before she left our home, my daughter played the piano for her and she reciprocated by playing some songs she had composed as well as some hymns.
God is so good!
The theme song of our move is one sung by Buddy Davis: "Problem solved, God is good, He fixed the problem just like I knew He would...."
We will be offline for a while now. We will have no electricity once we move north for a time. We had such a short notice and it takes time for electricians and electric company to get their part done... plus the ground is still frozen up there, so it is going to be difficutl for my husband to dig a trench to bury the cable in. We will check back in when we have some "juice"!
