Living with Grace

I love my life! That is not a sarcastic remark. I got kicked out of my house a few days ago and I had to move everything out, I mean everything. I was given three days and then my parents were going to change the locks. The reason I got kicked out is irrelevant and confusing. It's confusing because my mom has a hard time with the fact that once I become David's wife, he is the head of our household and he will not take the junk that my Mom had given me for so long. Anyway, at first this was really hard for me because they practically disowned me. But after I realized that Lighthouse is an amazing church and would do anything for anyone without asking anything in return.I also realized that God's love is all mine and it's all free! How amazing! I'm staying at my friend's Kim and Lenny until Friday. They have 9 kids! Three of them do not live at home, the oldest is in Florida at school, then the second oldest is in Montreal for a little bit and then the third oldest lives with his Grandmother but is here often. So, only 6 kids really live in the house with Kim and Lenny. They offered the third oldest's bed for me to sleep in and I was so joyful! I sleep in this little room with a drum set. There's a sheet on the doorway so that I can have some privacy and after the lights are all turned out I keep my bedside light on so that I can read before I go to sleep. Last night I used my cell phone light in order to read. It was quite humbling. I'm using one of the kids' bed sheets which consist of ABC's all over them. I went to sleep around 11pm and woke up around 7:30am. I haven't gotten up that early in a very long time! I wish I had for so long! Oh well. I'm going to be learning things that I would never learn at my parents, like how to be a good wife and mother. I observed Kim this morning while we were cleaning up. We first collected the laundry from upstairs and put in two loads. We vacuumed and did the dishes. Then we went for a walk around the block. That was refreshing! We came back and ate some lunch, and I did the dishes. I noticed little things that Kim does that makes things a lot easier at the next meal. Washing the silverware by hand at lunchtime makes more available at dinner time. So day one is done and I'm looking forward to tomorrow! I might go to Basic tomorrow night though, just as a little break. I still love my life! God is soooo good!
