It is always amazing how God works when you listen and trust him to meet your needs. Wednesday of the week I was New Orleans Jimmy and I were sitting down going over his budget. He had left some things out of it, and other things were costing more than he thought. His phone rang. When he got off, he composed himself and then told me that the St Louis church that had provided him with the insulation and drywall were, now get this, buying all his flooring, kitchen cabinets, trim, three windows, his interior doors, and providing $1500 for appliances for each unit. He was blown away! He had been strugling through all that he had been thru, and wondering if he had heard God correctly and was doing what he wanted. This confirmed that he was in God's will and God has something awesome planned for him.
When I left on Saturday the last of the drywall was going up, to be finished on Monday. When Jimmy called me last Thursday to let me know he was in LA. He told me that the floating and sanding of the drywall was done, they were texturing on Friday, and priming this past Monday. He also told me another way that God took care of him. He returned his rental car after two and a half weeks. They told him it was going to be $900 plus. He said wait a minute it was supposed to only be $234 a week! They went in and then the guy asked him if he had the car for the entire two and a half weeks. Jimmy said Yes. They then proceeded to tell him that somehow the contract got closed out and reopened, and he only owed for four days, about $200. God is so cool!
I am planning on going back down the week of July 6th to try and get the laminate flooring down, cabinets hung, trim done and about seven windows in. I am trying to get some more people to join me this time. I know it is New Orleans in July, but it is inside work and the air conditioning should be going!
