Once Upon A Time

Once upon a time, in a city not too far away, there were two girls who really enjoyed seeking the Lord and growing in Him. One of the girls wished that there could be a home one day where several girls,who wanted to seek God too, could live together. So one day the two girls went on a prayer drive. After traveling down the highway for awhile, they passed McDonalds, then passed Dunkin Donuts, and then decided to turn into a subdivision. The houses were so pretty. The girls oohed and ahhhed as they drove through the neighborhood. "We could never live here," they thought. At the moment, it hit them, "but God could get us a house here!" So they drove around the neighborhood, praying that God would give them a house that several girls could live in and seek God together. They finished their prayer and drove off.

Several years passed. The dream seemed to fade. In fact, the prayer for a home had long been forgotten. The girls went their separate ways in life.

Several more years passed.

One day after work, the girl who wanted to have a home where several girls would live together and seek God, was met on the road by a tall man. He approached her with a smile and started talking, "I have this house...."

The girl was ecstatic to learn that the home was in the neighborhood that she and her friend had prayed for a home.

Now, all the girl needed was 3 roommates. But where would she find 3 single girls that wanted to seek God and live in this house. She prayed. God brought her one roommate. She prayed some more. No more roommates came. The tall man said, "I need to know by July 11th if you will be moving in this house." The girl prayed again. Still no roommates. She was down to one week before she must give the tall man her answer. Another roommate was found. Still, there was one roommate left to find. The girl knew that God had led her to this home, so she prayed again. And on July 11th, a fourth roommate was found.

The girl approached the tall man and said, "yes. we will move in the home!"

And they all lived happily ever after...

atleast thus far.

God meant for ya'll to have time together in one house. How exciting to know His hand has been in this all along. Thank you for sharing this info. I didn't know the story behind the house and the roommates. Judi
