    I had a message waiting for me online yesterday morning from an old friend - they had a place i could stay. The home owner is in assisted living and the family is letting me use the house.

    The utilities are on - except internet (and cable or i just can't use a remote any more) - and I can have any food still good (plenty of that). Washer and dryer both work. It's unbelievable.

    There's a porch for the kitties and a small fenced area for the pups (Houdini the Dog has already made his first performance ). Two bathrooms, five bedrooms, a ham radio tower (yes, really) and an attached shop - and fully furnished - let's not forget that!

    I wanted four walls and working mechanicals - and I was willing to negotiate on the mechanicals - and God gave me a wonderland instead.


    I feel so - I don't know what to call it - happy is too weak, overjoyed is too buoyant, nothing in between expresses the joy and wonder I feel.

    God is SOOOOO good!

        Wow. God is awesome. Your friend is quite decent too. I'm so glad to hear you have this available now.

          I think the terms 'incredibly generous' doesn't begin to cover it, yes.

                Now that you have a place to stay, fight your former employer for your unemployment benefits, and consider a career counselor.

                  Great news Laura. You should explore ways to properly thank your friends.

                  And yes. God is GOOD!!

                    Speaking of which, the hearing was this morning at 8:30. I found out this morning at 11:00.

                    I have to appeal - again.

                    I have been talking to legal services but I'm thinking I might follow Jim's advice...


                    I'll look into the career counselling, too.

                      I had asked my FB friends pray for you (no names of course). I've now passed on the good news. God is good.
