I left the spare room and went straight to my bedroom, leaving the spare room door open (something I NEVER do). I laid down and I tossed and turned...I tried and tried to sleep, but could not. I laid there for hours wide awake...I had been so sleepy, but I just could not get comfortable. I looked at my clock and it was 4:33AM!!! I decided to lay on my couch (again, something I NEVER do!). I laid down and as soon as I did I heared a crackling sound. I could not tell what it was nor from where it was coming from. I got up to see if I could "detect" it...in doing that I noticed my spare room door open (a pet peeve of mine), and being somewhat "anal retentive" I went to close it. As I was pulling the door closed I saw a spark of light, and an extension cord that was plugged into something had caught fire. I was able to extinguish it before it reached anything flamable. Had I been asleep...I probably would not be here to type this post. My smoke detector battery is dead. ![]() God's divine order and God's divine timing worked in my favor that night, as I am sure it always will. Just wanted to share what God did for me. |

I had to leave suddenly. I am sorry about that, but I had a visitor. I can not wait until next time.
I just want to praise God and thank Him in advance for blessing me with a wonderful job. I want to thank Him for blessing me with reliable transportation, also. I love the Lord and HE is the source of my supply, and I praise Him for that.
But I will be praying while I drive to and from the school. If anyone ever wants a Friday night prayer date, though...let me know! |

I emailed her to find out about how she was dealing with a situation on campus...I've been having a bit of trouble, but I just wanted her take on it. She ended up writing me a long email, telling me about what she's teaching...and what isn't going well. And asking to know the same about me. She didn't know about the situation I was talking about...but she ended up emailing me later to say she had learned the same information in her team meeting. This is the first time she has come to me for ANYTHING in 9 months...or written just to share information. I'm going to still keep my distance for her and let her approach me. But WOW!!! Keep praying, you guys ![]() damascus_girl |
