Several months ago or longer, I began praying for the Lord to root out anything in me that keeps me from being humble before Him or prevents me from hearing His voice. When you pray earnest prayers such as this, our Father listens and answers.
It became necessary for me to move, my previous landlord had become unbearable and my lease was ending. He had raised my rent by $400 the last month and black mold was making me and April sick. I had bronchitis every other month for an entire year and April’s breathing was so labored I was concerned for her life. Poppa, we have to get out. Doors seemed closed when a 2 bedroom, 2 bath trailer had opened up. Me and my brother went to look at it one evening after work. The outside looked like it had been beaten with hail or a bat. Really Poppa, really? The inside was much better but I had some serious concerns. Me and my brother talked about it and decided we needed to get it. I got the huge deposit together and first month’s rent and we moved in.
My brother put rails up on the porch so I wouldn’t fall, hung a door on my bathroom and fixed so many other things. There is still so much to do, but it was definitely humbling. The Lord basically stripped me down to almost the roots of how we grew up. Something I had worked so hard on, to do better. I looked around as I reflected on the states I’d lived in, the places I’d lived in, now here I am. My room is much larger than I had in my younger years, but I didn’t have a huge yard to walk in or a pool. God has made it cozy but it reminded me to never forget where you’d been or the people still there.
I went through a life changing divorce in 2024 where only a few people were there to lean on. There were people outside my family that I had thought were like a family that never called or even text to check in on me. I can count on one hand how many of those same people checked on me to make sure I was okay, shared devotionals or songs to let me know I wasn’t alone or even offer a ride to church. I quickly learned, those aren’t my people. I am thankful that God humbled me before Him. I’m thankful He loves me enough to move people out of my circle. I will continue to pray I stay humble before Him. I don’t want that to ever change 🦅 ~ Chelle, #f8ithgal
