Divine intervention

Chris, Peter's ex-wife, took Maria to check out a clean and sober transitional house that is right by the psychiatric/chemical dependancy treatment facility that she was going to daily. Her social worker found this property and the lady who owns it approved Maria and her dog to live there. It is $700 or $750 a month and includes, water, sewer garbage and food. The front and back yards are fenced in. There isn't any one living there yet. Maria is moving in today. I asked Chris if she could take Maria and her Dog back to the house today and if she could write a check to the landlord for the pro -rated portion left for this month which came to $270. Chris said she could so I don't have to worry about a 2 hr drive there and a 2 hr drive back home. When she called on the ay back from looking at the new rental Maria's neighbor across the street from Cindy's said the authorites were there and had escorted Cindy out of the home and were changing the locks. The neighbor said if she needed to get her clothes and he dog out she had better get there soon. So Chris arrived just in time to get Maria's clothes and dog. The new rental has a bed and I believe is completely furnished. I am wondering though if it has pots and pans and the like. I know it has a washer and dryer but she may have to furnish her own laundry detergent. Well that can be handled later and so can getting the rest of hr things out of storage Chris was stopping by storage so Mari could get her other clothes and personal necessities for the time being.

The whole thing worked out well as far as I am concerned at it appeared to have happened not by chance but by divine intervention. I prayed out loud on the way home yesterday. I asked God to help guide us and help Maria find a place to live with her dog. We also prayed for her at the dinner table and I know that her dad, Chris and other family members have been praying for Maria. Wow talk about powerful.

Sounds like you folks are halving a trying time right now. Good luck with the transition.

I was going around promoting a very cheap yet functional set of cooking equipment and dishes for people just starting out when I saw this post. I do think it will fit the bill for Marina once you think she'll start cooking.

As I'm sure you know, what of the best ways to get through something is to have a fulfilling hobby that you can channel obsession through. Cooking is great for that, because when you're done, you can invite people over and have safe comraderie with them. Good luck and also, best wishes on the engagement.
