Haven of Rest

Yesterday I moved into a new place of residence, an apartment closer into town.  What a relief it is to finally find solace in a place of refuge from the storms of life.  Everyone needs a place to retreat to on a daily basis in order to mentally undress and to emotionally let their guard down.  I am no different in this regard.  An introvert by temperament and a private individual at heart, the last seven months living with a friend "temporarily" have been trying at best.  Long-term stress with no relief in sight can wear on a person, and can inflict detrimental consequences on a person's psychological and physical health, wholeness, and overall well-being.  Before God's blessing of this apartment came along, I was ready to throw in the towel.  I knew something had to break for me soon, and I was fearful my mental and emotional state would be the very things to succumb to the pressure of long-term unresolved stress.  However, when the rope snapped, figuratively speaking, it was at that point faith materialized and God stepped in to honor my petitions of prayer.  It was at that point when I had nothing to offer, no aces in the hole or ability to contribute to my situation, God moved the mountains of obstacles in this life to make a way for me when there seemed to be no way.  Thank you God for doing for me what I could not do for myself.  Your timing is perfect.  Thank you for your many blessings, your provision for me, and for your presence with me.
