This morning I woke up after one of those nights where everything seems to have been dismanteled in your sleep. You know, when you wake up and think to yourself "did I fight off a swarm of bees all night?"
Anyway, my new routine has been to get my still not used to time change self, out of bed and turn the coffee on. I wash my face and grab my bible. I fill my favorite Colorado mug and sit on the floor of my much too big apartment and read.
This morning I read Ephesians which is one of my favorite books. I sat and looked around and so much of me wants this place to be welcoming to people. A safe place. I need some furniture. So I asked God for some couches...some place to sit instead of the carpet.
I went through the day doing little things and using the internet to search for couches but no luck. As I'm sitting at dinner my friend gets a phone call from one of the directors on campus. He's wondering if I want to come over and look at some things he is getting rid of since he just moved. YES.
We pull up and the house is full of the nicest people. He takes me around this old east coast house with creeky stairs and all and shows me piece after piece of furniture he wants to give me. I took it all!
I asked God for couches and I got more then my share of furnishings for my apartment and I feel so blessed! What amazing people God is starting to give me in life and I feel so lucky!
Ephesians says "In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit. " This is my day. And tomorrow I will wake up and have coffee on my new couch.
