My wife married me as a crushed single father, struggling to make ends meet. We lived in a townhouse apartment up against a freeway. Literally.
We needed to move out of our rental two years ago.
Because of my bankruptcy due to my divorce, years prior, my credit was shot. We needed a miracle.
With hardly any rentals on the market and 40-70 other families with excellent credit to snatch up the houses, we really did need a miracle.
My simple prayer, “LORD, I know you can custom lead us. We don’t have selfish ambition. Please show the children your goodness. That You can custom provide for us, even if we are not ‘money focused’, please show the children Your goodness and faithfulness, in Jesus Mighty Name.”
God led us in a few distinct ways that would have been impossible without paying attention to His ‘inspired directives’.
GOD DID AN AMAZING MIRACLE.
70 families were interested in this house, but God miraculously gave us favor! The rest is History!!
Overlooks sheep.
Private Creek.
Private Pond.
Multiple Fruit Trees.
In fact, this is the first fruit from this Summer. We just picked it tonight!
I remember when we were three weeks away from being homeless. Our good friend who happens to have a powerful prophetic gift, told us, “I see God blessing you guys with a house that will be BEYOND YOUR WILDEST DREAMS." I remember at the time feeling more fear than faith. I still felt at peace, but I would have just been happy with a tiny clean ‘whatever’.
God, again, showed us just how good and amazing He really is!!
This house is so far beyond what I could have imagined that I am still beyond speechless.

Deuteronomy 7:12-13 ... Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the Lord thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers: And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee.
Ephesians 3:20 ... Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, ❤
