Possibilities...

I am continually amazed and blessed by the Lord.

I was checking on Craig's List for work in the Central Oregon area, and started looking into mobile home rentals... perhaps a little less expensive then a stick and mortar house.  I found an ad for a nanny, 15 hrs a week in trade for housing in a trailer and utilities.  This was intriguing, so I emailed. For just about a week, I heard nothing back.  I had been praying that if it were the right thing, it would happen.  Well, the best got to me, and I emailed again, thinking my emails could have gotten lost in the shuffle.  The next day I got a reply. I responded and asked questions.  A. responded and asked me to tell them more about myself.  Finally I got a email that said his wife was going to call me later that evening.

I had a nice long conversation with K.  She has some young daughters who she home schools, but they just need someone around to help. Honestly, I believe every woman needs a wife!  I think she is just overwhelmed and could use a grandma type person who might come in and cook some, clean up or babysit.  He has run a contracting business for 15 years.  They sound like good people, age 38 and 36.

I think maybe some of their friends and family have asked God to bring Christians across their path to help lead them closer to Him, because she explained her spirituality and was ok with my being a Christian, and I am feeling like it is exactly where I am supposed to be.

I get to meet them in about a week, when I take the couch up to my son for his house.  Am praying diligently about this.  In many ways it could be a really great thing for me, and hopefully for them. I am willing to do just about anything they need in the way of watching the kids, house cleaning, and cooking.  I hope it will turn out for the best.

I Google mapped their ad address and found his company.  The property looks average in a nice neighborhood.  They have a garden, cows and pigs too.  They also have another couple who live in a trailer on the property and the husband helps around the business.  They are situated just a ways from my youngest.

We shall see... it is a possibility.

I gave K. a call to wish her Happy Birthday.  It was easy to remember because it is inbetween my mom and dad's birthdays.  We firmed up that they plan to be at home, and I would be around on the weekend or so and would call when I was in the area.  Still praying, but I think things will work out good.
