Unraveling Gods Gifts – Part 2

I scoured every article I could find about Charis Bible College in Woodland Park, Colorado. After reading late into the night about the housing problem, I instantly felt defeated. To leave my job and move would cost me more money to live there than my current situation. I fell asleep, knowing I could not go.

The next morning, on the way to the conference, I asked God to forgive me. I was willing to go; I would just need a miracle. It was the last day of the conference, and I sneaked out early to use the restroom. There was a lady about my age at the Charis information table. I approached her to see if she knew how I could take my name off the AZ online school because I was not going to go at all unless I received a miracle. I told her I felt the Lord was saying to move to Colorado, but I could not see how to go with the housing problem. She said, "Wait, Kim, if you know He is telling you to go, then He will work it out." I asked her if she would pray with me, and she agreed. She spoke right to my spirit, prayed for my children and me, and repeated to me twice that God was going to bless my kids, making sure I was listening to her. She felt it strongly in her spirit that it was the right direction for me. It was confirmation of what I was already hearing from the Lord the night before. Then she said she worked at Charis Bible College and attended 3 years of college herself. She then proceeded to tell me I could live with her. I knew that was the miracle I needed. Everything she spoke was in agreement with what I was seeing. I went home and started to prepare to move to Colorado.

While talking to the Lord, I realized I would not be staying with Barbie from the conference because God had a different plan. I was talking to Him about how I would miss my kids and be sad without them, even though I knew they would be okay. It brought me joy to have them near, and leaving them would be the hardest for me. Two days later, I woke up and saw it clearly in a vision. I would have a house, and students would come and rent the rooms, and I would be the house mom. I just did not know how it would come about.

The next day, I had lunch with my dear friend and client, Kim, to tell her I would be leaving Phoenix to attend college. When I told her my plans, she was okay with me leaving because she trusted that the Lord would take care of the business I helped her manage. She rolled right into "I might have a place for you to live." She said, "Let me make a phone call." I said, "Wait," and I told her of the vision and what I saw. She began to make the call, and while she did that, I thought maybe it’s a shack, but knew that would be good enough for me! She hung up the phone and told me the story of her friend, Beth, who was working and living up in Denver, Colorado, and had a house in Colorado Springs that sat mostly empty. She was seldom able to go to it because of her new business in Denver. Kim told her what I was looking for, and Beth said she would think about it. I left the lunch thinking, "God, I have doubt, and could it be this easy?" I asked Him what I should do, and He said, "Rejoice," so I did, and the doubt went away instantly.

After telling my kids the news, Beth called me personally to ask a few questions. Everything I had put before the Lord, Beth brought up in our conversation; it was so easy to talk with her. It is like God nudged her, and I had to just sit and receive. She began to send me pictures of this beautiful house, on a hill, with 3600 square feet, 5 bedrooms, and 3 bathrooms...more than I had hoped for and plenty of room for students. It was settled my miracle had come, and I would soon be off to Campus Days in Woodland Park Colorado.
