Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him,and he will make your paths straight.
Proverbs 3:5-6
God has put some situations in my life recently that have really made me trust in him and he has definitely come through for me too.
Being a caregiver for senior citizens, I sometimes get called into homes and have no idea what I am getting into until I get there. For someone who is a planner and likes to be prepared, this has stretched me beyond my comfort zone.
One day I went to a lady’s home who was clearly a hoarder. She had mild dementia and her husband was in the hospital. She tended to wander outside, so I had to keep an eye on her and go out with her. Well the 3rd time we went outside, we closed the front door, but this time it was locked.
I didn’t know what to do….it looked like it was going to rain, I had never been there before, and my phone was in the house. Well as she started searching her car (not really sure what she was looking for), I was trying not to panic. It was a split foyer, so I decided to check the windows and one was unlocked….. coincidence?! …. I think NOT ….. I think God provided me with a way to get out of this situation.
All the trials of being a caregiver for the last 6 months have paid off. Monday I officially start my new job at

Sheila, I'm so happy you got your job and will have more of a regular schedule!
ReplyDeleteWhat a day for you, though, to get locked out of the house and with your patient! I wish I had that on film...it would be worth 10K!
