We never know when the door bell rings at 711 Dauphine who or what situation may be standing outside. Many times I am reminded what God has given me as we listen to stories. Brittany was much like many people we meet who have made decisions that put them in a desparate situation.
She had ,like many people, decided New Orleans sounded like a fun place that had many opportunities. So why was this twenty something from the Woodlands now broke, on the street with a two year old, with no identification. She had lasted a whole three weeks and of course her boyfriend was busy doing something else while she knocked on doors and begged for help. Thankfully she had family on their way to rescue her but not before she had to start dancing on Bourbon St to get food money. We try and handle every situation as best we can full of grace and wisdom. We got Brittany and Tyrin (in the midst of terrible two’s) a place to stay since mom was on her way to pick them up the next day.
Everytime I listen to a story here I am reminded I have been saved from not only some terrible consequences but from myself thanks to trusting in Gods grace . I am glad Gods love is practical and He provides us with wisdom to know what is truly good when we ask and trust Him.
James 1:5 If you don’t know what you’re doing, pray to the Father. He loves to help. You’ll get his help, and won’t be condescended to when you ask for it.
God has planned good works for us to walk in not self inflicted painful ones so ask Him for wisdom and walk in it.
