Strong and courageous

“So be strong and courageous, all you who put your hope in the Lord!”Psalms‬ ‭31‬:‭24‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Today I knew I needed courage, I was going into the unknown to look at a unit to live in for a few weeks. I had been told that my bedroom was at the top of three flights of stairs, my kitchen down two flights and through a rabbit warren. I am not good with directions or isolation and this morning I was praying for guidance. 

My young friend Timothy collected me and took me to the guesthouse. It is called Nehemiah. From the moment we entered the drive I sensed the presence and peace of God. I knew I would be ok. I met the staff and the man in charge who is Korean, a gentle soul.

Outside there are beautiful gardens and a shady tree. I love trees. There is place there to sit and spend time in the quiet with the Lord. My bedroom is tiny, however, all I need is a bed and a bathroom, which I have. It will be ample until my proper unit is available, when my friends build their house and move. As their new home is a kit home it should be built in a few weeks. Meanwhile I have a place to stay which is affordable. This will allow me to save and buy furniture needed for the next place.

The Lord has progressively stretched me and moved me to more and more faith. With each step He shows me I am able. All I need to do is trust Him! Amen!
