He Clothes the Birds

Green paint. My favorite color for a home.
Large, open kitchen. All appliances for just $125.
Quaint spaces.
Sunken garden jet tub. I've wanted one for years.
Whimsical wooded lot. Perfect for laughing children and big dogs.
Earnest money turned in.
Contract executed.
Underwriting file complete.
Appraisal submitted.
Appraiser changes her mind.
Changes the appraisal to reflect a different type of property.
No loan. Requirements for house not met.
We keep renting.

BUT GOD is still faithful.
He is quiet today.
I can't hear Him whispering creativity to my heart.
I cry a lot.

How many day dream debuts did the master bedroom make in my mind?
How many times did I redecorate the hallways, bedrooms, and kitchen?



"Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?"
- Jesus
