There have been having some amazing things happen in my life, and I thought that I would do a series based on those miracles. From jobs to relationships, God has been providing. An old friend of mine once commented that it truly is a blessing to stand in the midst of a miracle while it was unfolding before you, and I can honestly say from experience, it truly IS a miracle.
So the first miracle I want to focus on, is our house.
For all the back story, you can check our this post and this post.
Flash forward to July 1, I had NO job, Sarah was working 7 days a week, and we were barely making it. The house was in foreclosure, but the bank had not taken us to court. We had not paid a payment in 10 months. It all hinged on my getting a job. And then, I was hired by Church of the Suncoast to be their Director of Ministry Operations. All I had to do was make the call the our bank, and try to get the house back.
On Tuesday, July 28, 2009, I finally had all the information they needed. And I made the call on my way home from work. After 10-15 minutes of answering VERY sensitive questions, I finally had my answer: “YES, we were available for homeowners assistance.” In fact, our loan was available for modification and we were only going to have to pay a little over 1/2 what our original mortgage amount per month. We were no longer just going to be surviving, we were going to be able to aggressively get back on our feet financially. It was a true miracle of God.
On Monday, I started back in my routine of memorizing scripture, and I (randomly) landed on Galatians 6:9, which says, “And let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we do not lose heart.”
There were many days that I felt I was losing heart. Many nights of anguished prayer for God to intervene. But His timing is NOT our timing, but He is ALWAYS faithful.
And from experience, I can say that God has provided a miracle: our house.
