In early 2020, a young 22 year old woman had need of a place to stay. Her parents were divorcing, the other six siblings had found accommodations and this dog training business owner was wondering what God had for her. She was friends with an older couple who knew her parents and the sad situation the family was facing. In the course of their conversation, the older woman offered one of their spare bedrooms as a temporary place for this young entrepreneur - who eventually did move in. The homeowner expected a stay of three to five months, although when specifically asked about a timetable, said, “I think we’ll both know when the time is right for you to leave.” (Meaning God would make it plain.) It just sort of came out of her mouth; and when she heard herself say it out loud, she believed it to be absolutely true!
