A Place of My Own

Posted At: 2:12am by Sandra Ostapowich

For the past couple of years, my life has been in a state of flux.  Nearly everything (except the promises of God for me in Christ) was an improvised, temporary solution that could change in an instant.  It's not exactly a fun way to live, but I kind of got used to it.  I did learn to cling even more to the few things that I could count on ("I am baptized"), especially when that state of flux would occasionally shift into outright chaos. 

And then all of a sudden, the Lord brought me to Loveland. (Have I mentioned that I love it here??)  Dream job, pastor who knows the Gospel, great schools, wonderful people, amazing view to the west...I could go on...

Thursday morning, I dug in my toes, put down roots, and bought myself a home.  Thursday afternoon, three guys in a moving truck showed up with lugged in box after box and all sorts of furniture, so much that I had to make them put it in the basement.  Thursday night, I slept in my own bed on my own sheets in my own room in my own house.

What a wild ride.  God is so good.

Madre,

Congratulations on sleeping in your own bed in your new home. How's your son doing? We have only 13 more days before we move into our new home.
