It looks like it may be a little later than the end of the month for me to move into my home on wheels. I am getting anxious but trying to be patient.
The men working on it for me have done so much more than I expected. I have a tile counter top in the kitchen area that matches the linoleum. They have tiled the shower and it is GORGEOUS!!! Insulation has been added and it is needed here. The window unit ac works great.
They need to finish a few things - like the frame cabinet for the refrigerator, painting the walls (to cover the hideous brown paint the previous owners had slapped on everything in sight) and lay the flooring.
God blessed me more than I knew when I bought a old beat up RV. (I have been told that I am henceforth forbidden to go purchase a car or any other big thing by myself. I don't think they trust me!). God took what could have been a disaster and turned it into a blessing. It gave 4 men, new to our church a chance to work with our pastor and bless someone. I gave me a chance to allow others to bless me. That has been difficult but I am learning.
When you have never been part of a loving family, you don't know how to let others bless you. I have always been pretty self sufficient. If something broke and I couldn't fix it, I found ways to work around it as I didn't want to bother anyone - such as the time (a few years ago in another state) when the light in the bathroom burned out. I couldn't reach it to change the bulbs so I got a lamp and put it in the bathroom. I didn't want to be a burden to anyone - even though we were supposed to have "family" there to help us. It always seemed like it was a bother to them. So, we just quit asking them for help.
When God moved me to the desert, he was blessing me so much. He gave me a church family that welcomed me with open arms - not because of who my mother was or the fact that I was the church secretary (at least, not then). I just fit. He has provided ways for me to work through some old, ancient problems. I am blooming in the desert.
