“The RoseBouquet”

Sunday morning I went to the pulpit in church, and shared with my church family my financial “need” so I can buy that house. I told them the story I told you here last week of that little green house, and how I now see its potential as my new home, but that I’m looking to the Lord to provide the funds.

i think it caught a lot of people off guard, but I got some kind feedback afterwards, and in the evening one couple asked to come see this house. (They thought they had a deal for a house in Hague last week, and the people sold to someone else). While they were here, one of the deacons called to ask some questions and he assured me that they would come up with some way to help me. So this week I’m resting in that comforting thought. God is at work. It will all come together for me!

(A well-meaning person made a suggestion yesterday that is the last thing I want to do, and it sent me for a tailspin emotionally. My faith is getting a stretch here!)

I realize that Easter is coming which will probably delay any ideas of a fundraiser. On the other hand, about 300-400 -people heard my story and some were from as far away as Nipawin and Pamburn, so my name and story is on a lot of tongues this week! The grapevine is busy!

But I see too, that the Lord’s way of supplying is through people. It will not be one lump sum, but many little gifts that cover the need.

I’m still treading water - so to speak - business-wise. I try to get my blogs out, answer email, and give my evenings to clients’ sites. One mission is really eager to see their site ready so it can be announced in their next newsletter to supporters. I hope I can get it that far tonight.

Other than that, I’m trying to give some hours each day and all day Saturday, to sorting and packing up the items in each room, and then trying to hide the boxes so the rooms will look decent for prospective buyers. I’m averaging one room a week. It’s that hiding stuff that’s getting trickier now.
