These are all wonderful stories of God's intervention in the midst of what we thought was a bad difficult situation. I'll just share one of mine, although I have many
Several years ago we had purchased a repossessed mobile home, and put it on our land. We had signed the papers with Palm Harbor and they had given us the green light to move in. They told us the information concerning our mortgage payment would be mailed to us. Shortly after we moved in, my husband's job dried up. About a month after we had moved in, I began to wonder how we were going to pay the mortgage payment that should now be due on this new home, and then realized, I had never received any paperwork concerning the payment!!
So I called Palm Harbor, and they said they were having problems getting the title, because the previous owners had divorced, and there were some probate issures.... so the title was tied up with the state, and they were still trying to get it released into our name, and until the title was released, we would not have to make a payment....
This just worried me even more, because I thought to myself... what if they don't get the title, will they kick us out of the home? When the title finally clears how much back pay are we going to have to pay?
Well, this went on for FIVE MONTHS! For five months we lived in our beautiful, new to us home without one SINGLE DIME paid for it.... and my husband's work still at a standstill!!!!
One day my husband got a call that work had picked up, and he worked that whole entire week (and his work continued on after that without a hitch!) The SAME DAY that his work picked up, I got a phone call from Palm Harbor saying they had finally gotten the title and that the first payment would not be due from us until the NEXT MONTH!!!!! And there was NO BACK PAY DUE! We lived for FREE in our beautiful new home for SIX months without paying a dime!!!!!
Now, I have told many people that story, but it still amazes me on the timing of it all. It seemed like such a bad thing when my husband's job just dried up, and we were so concerned about how we were going to make the mortgage, but long before we even knew to worry, God had the title tied up with the state and it was released the very same day my husband went back to work....
And this is the God who knows how many hairs are on our heads, and works out the most minute details of difficult situations far in advance of us ever being aware that we are going to need His help!
Thank you ILG for turning this long, sad thread into a way to glorify God, and give Him the glory for allowing us to go through difficult situations, in order that we might more clearly see His perfect timing, and attention to the smallest details of our lives!
