What to do what to do??? Aye, that's the question. So far I haven't found an answer. My daughter and I thought we were already for our "empty nest" year ahead as of September 1st. My daughter has a whole new life ahead of her to do whatever she may decide.
I am faced with "going along" for the ride as my life seemed to have done when I moved here thinking I would find a fulltime job and get my own place and my own life, but did NOT find a full income and never can afford to support myself so I am blessed to have my daughter's loving welcome last 8 years now.
I also totalled my car the second month after I moved in so I even had to use my daughter's car. We became quite good at sharing a car four ways - two ways being teens and high school activities and after school jobs and etc.
I always get immediately and thoroughly involved in my church and the womens' ministry therein. In fact this makes it hard for me to even want to find fulltime work. My writing and card making also means I would be lying if I said that I am sorry I did NOT find fulltime work. Since I do those two loves in my free time and spend two days in church related commitments and am also free to be available for women when they want discipleship or someone to listen or whatever.
So the curve that just happened and threw us to our knees not so much asking "why" - but just how in the world or what in the world will we do next. The curve being that our landlord has put our rental home on the market and because of my daughter's work schedule, she/we will need to be moved no later that August 1st. UGH - that is going to be here sooooooo fast.
I have a perfect solution and only wish the Dear Lord would ask me what I think or what I want. I want some knight in shining armor with money-to-burn to want to take up the "widows" need and buy the house for us and let us keep it until we die. He will keep an ongoing fund for all household needs like taxes, roof, insurance, any type major mishaps especially with regard to a septic tank, etc. etc. He would let it be free and clear and all we would pay are our own expenses, utilities, and stuff like that. Once we were gone then it would revert back to his family and his heirs.
I could probably think of many other wonderful pipe dream answers if I tried but this is the one that has come to light today.
Of course, the message I do hear from the Lord loud and clear is as it has always been and will be always from now on. "Rest" "Wait" and see what great things the Lord will do and has in store and give thanks for His everlasting mercy and never ending care and protection and loving presence in and around it all.
