Ive got you covered :)

ROOMIE!

Do any of you know of the whole story about how Jonathan found a place to live??

Just one of the many amazing things God has been working on in my life... its amazing what He can do to you and for you when you let Him. That has been happening a whole lot lately for me.

Lately He's been working on this whole hospitality thing with me. Ive always enjoyed having people in my "space" but for a while i wasn't living where i could have more than 2 people over comfortably.. Until last march! I moved into a very large bottom-of-a-house suite (trust me, its not a basement...ask anyone who's seen it! Only by the Grace of God am i living here... there's no doubt!) So as time passed, each time i entered my space i heard God saying to me "bring more people home" -- what does this mean? Well, simply...bring more people home.... but honestly, I knew that this space was provided for me to do just that, have people over regularly (and more than 2 at a time), host bible study, and just generally share my space if people need a place to stay. Ive had a few house guests over the last 8 months, im hosting a gathering night on Tuesday nights, ive hosted Simple Church one Sunday for my church!! Its been an incredible, had many family birthday celebrations and a celebration of life for my beloved Opa, hosted a new years eve party, many dinner parties.... the list goes on and on, and im SURE there will be more to come!! Its been incredible!

Back to the original train of thought... Jonathan called me up one day to chat - as we often do, and was telling me about how he needed to find a place to stay for April. Im telling you this: before he even uttered those words, intact i think i even interrupted him, I opened my door to him (although my door is always open to my friends and family alike, you know what i mean) My space is very large (1300 sq ft) and its just me living here, so why not convert the living room into a spare room for Jonathan to stay until he leaves for Germany!! God is so good that way isn't He?

I don't think you know this Jonathan, but a few months ago a prophetic friend prayed over me and said that God would soon use me and my space to help a friend in need. So Jonathan, God already had a plan for you. Before we even knew it!!

Bless you Friend/Roomie!!
