Things have been so weird. Sometimes I wonder if my life is for real.
In one weeks time I had a 70yr old creepy stalker man And a scary temporary neighbor turn predator who wouldn't listen to NO. I was embarrassed to have to go to the police station again.
I think I handled it well, but it was really stressful and scary to be honest.
We have definitely learned a few things along the way about instinct, safety, boundaries and how to act on the spirit when it whispers or screams at you.
I have been so blessed. The Lord never leaves us alone. And I am so lucky that he whispers to those around me, that they listen, so that I am not alone. He protects us and helps me to protect my children.
First the old guy, the next week the other guy. It gets out of hand and I am left with no choice but to act. It was hard to confront him after making it clear before and having them not listen. I was scared of how he would react and he was next door, actually spent a whole lot of time knocking on my door. It would take an hour to write everything that has happened, but I did stand up and defend my family and I feel stronger because of it. I did something that I was scared to do and I overcame my fear and felt the spirit guiding me in my decisions.
The next morning one of the Physical Therapist calls and says there is a house back in a neighborhood across the highway for rent and he talked to the guy and he said he would rent it to me. It hadn't even been posted yet. And it's in my price range which is close to impossible.
Hazel's bus will come to our door. Which will fix the other problem.
We will probably move next month.
Then this morning the neighbor is gone. And finding out even more that confirms I did the right thing.
If all of this hadn't happened I would never even have thought about moving.
And when I asked the kids about it they all understood and said they would be ok with it.
My only regret is I will have to leave my ward. Truly some of the kindest people I have ever met. People who have taken care of us and never let us feel alone. I can't even express how grateful I am to them for how kind they have been. I have a really kind and understanding Bishop. It will be hard to leave this ward. But I feel the Lord looking out for us and guiding us. I will go wherever he leads me.
I know He loves me. I can't describe how priceless that is.
I know there are times when it can feel the Lord isn't there, like He has left you alone.
Don't ever believe that.
No matter what happens in this life He never forgets us, He never leaves us alone.
He is there longing for us to come to Him.
