Jamie and I had plans to move away for him to start a new job. It all fell through and we found ourselves without a home of our own, he was staying with his parents and I was sleeping on the couch with Eli at my parents. I was searching for somewhere to live, getting more and more stressed with every place I looked at. I was rejected so many times or missed out on places I really wanted that I began to get upset. I prayed and asked God for help in finding a house, all I wanted was a place of our own before Christmas, so Jamie and I could be together with our boys.
The next inspection I showed up for, I pulled up out front and let out a big sigh of disappointment, exhausted and down I opened the back door to get Eli out of his car seat and he says… “It’s ok mummy, we are going to get the Starwars house.” little man was obsessed with Starwars at the time so I thought, that’s cute and didn’t think much more of it. But then… every house we went to view after that we would pull up out front and he’d ask “Is this one the Starwars house?” After about the 10th time hearing this I snapped with frustration and said “Eli please stop asking me that, there is no such thing as a Starwars house.”
The next house we went to inspect, I get Eli out of the car and we walk inside and the very first bedroom was absolutely packed with Starwars collectables and memorabilia, I’m talking posters on every wall, figurines, lightsabers, you name it. I looked at Eli in disbelief and said “I think this is the Starwars house.” I applied and we got it before the week was out, moved in on December 23rd, just in time for Christmas.
Matthew 6: 25-26 in the bible says … “Do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothes?
Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?”
I got this verse tattooed on me after the Starwars house to always remind me to trust in Him, to have faith and that I am more valuable than the birds of the air, so He will provide for me, all my needs and He has never let me down.
