F.or Sale: One blue car bed...
Posted: Mon Feb 16, 2009 8:57 pm
Hello my Dear Family!
Today is a beautiful day and I wanted to share an amazing story of meeting 2 young single mothers......
Since our separation, Paul and I have 2 of the same car beds for Jaxen, our 2 year old, one for each house. The kid really loves cars, but doesnt particularly love sleeping in his car bed..
So we decided that since we are getting back together to sell one car bed... I believe it was Friday the 13th, Paul put an add in our local online classifieds.... The next morning, Valentines Day! I received a call from a young mother named Shannon, who just left her husband and an extremely abusive situation.... She told me bits of her situation and that her ex is now in an asylum, went insane? I could really relate, having suffered an abusive relationship. It was totally meant to be that we were talking! We shared a lot and when she asked if I could wait until payday she would even pay me more than I was asking for the carbed, I decided to give her the bed, and we are going to be friends, I just know it! She needs some positivity and to be shown what love is! I love her and I cannot believe she called me on Valentines Day! Her 4 children are Girl-6, Girl-5, Girl-3, Boy-2(who wants the bed!)....
So the very next day, another lady called from a surrounding town, inquiring about the car bed... I said, Im sorry, I decided not to sell the car bed, but then explained briefly about the situation with Shannon, and lo and behold, Carrie is in a similar situation to Shannon and then we started sharing our stories! Bringing Shannon into the conversation too! So through sharing we found out, not only is Carrie moving to my town, but across the street and down two houses to a womens shelter, just kiddi-corner from my house!!! And in fact Paul's step sister works there. I am just thanking God for bringing them into my life and I see the reason! They are very couragous now and with them being shown what love is, they will flourish!!!! and the Kids!!!! Thank you God!!
Now with Shannon, I believe it is very scary. .. He kept her from her family for 4 years.... She is now with family but I want to ask for everyone who read this to please pray for both of them and their Children... Dont know the ages and sex of Carries children yet...
One thing for sure is that I am taking my new friends for coffee!! And I want to meet their children .... Love is sooo good! I believe if the car bed is suitable, both boys can have one for free and a hug too!
God Bless you All I am pumped at how amazing God is!!
Now neither of these women have a vehicle or an income, so please pray for them and their children and these men as well!
Thank you All,
Love Tannis

and you know that doesn't happen very often! You are being led girl... following love where ever it leads... I will pray for Shannon, Carrie and their families. It has been a little while since you posted this. When you can, will you let us know how they are doing, sis?
