Proof The Bible Is True

Six years after becoming a widow, I decided it was time to leave the home in Wisconsin where I’d lived with my husband for 22 years and move back to Illinois to be closer to my daughter, Laura, and my son, Steve. It was a hard decision, and I sometimes second-guessed myself. At least Steve would be helping me search for just the right place. He remodeled houses in Illinois and knew what to look for.

 

The night I put my house on the market, I said a quick prayer. God, I trust that you are able to guide me to the right home. Then I added a secret request. One that has a window over the kitchen sink with a pretty view, if it is your will.

 

That was something I loved about my home in Wisconsin. The kitchen walls were covered in a dark blue wallpaper dotted with white, and just above the sink there was a window where I could look out on grass, sun and sky while I did the dishes. It gave me such peace. That’s why I prayed that the house for me would have the same kind of window and view. Then I’d know.

 

The next day, I drove to Illinois to begin looking for a new place, while my real estate agent did showings of my old house.
