Prayer Request
I've been staying at a women's shelter since August 10th, and the 31st of August is my LAST day that I can stay here. So I have posted an ad ''Need A Place To Stay Once I Leave The Women's Shelter!'', because I have NO intention of going back to my abuser. I only want to retrieve all of my remaining belongings I had to leave behind as well as some bedroom related furniture, and that's it.
I prayed about this last night of course, as I am feeling rather anxious and stressed about my situation. I also hope that a friend of mine is able and willing to come pick me up, as I am an HOUR outside the city of Edmonton, AB, (the only women's shelter that had an available room for me as the others I had tried to call were all filled up) or else I would have to fund the taxi ride back home myself, and I don't yet have the funds available for me to do this, but it would also be costly and take a lot of my money to pay for it. (social services covered it coming here, but they don't for your return home)
PLEASE pray that everything will come together for me and that God will provide a new place for me temporarily, until my friend is able to find a place for us to move into together soon! AND that I can safely and easily be able to move out everything of mine out of the place I had been living in, and take it all to the new place with no problems.

UPDATE: As it turns out, after I had posted about my worry that I was in real trouble as someone I know bailed on me for giving me a ride back to the city, a FB female friend of mine responded with, ''I can help, Linda'', and she DM'd me. Long story short, she's going to pick me up (at a Walmart as the shelter won't allow you to disclose their shelter location for safety/privacy reasons) and so I will be leaving here sometime tomorrow. Even my ex the past few days has been surprisingly cordial and polite with me (he sure wasn't in the beginning!) in our email exchanges, and I also received both my income support ''spending money'' funds which I needed and used to buy necessary toiletry/beauty items, etc, and then today I had ''mail'' here at the shelter, which turned out to be from social services. I now have my Health Benefits card, which I now can use to see my optometrist and dentist, and I'm seriously overdue to see both which I will do once I am settled into a new place. I also prayed about this at a Lutheran church today while I was out earlier today that's just a block away. God really IS good. : )
YES, He sure is. There's a Messiah Lutheran church just a block away where I stopped in at on my way back to the shelter, and I went to their ''sanctuary'' to pray about my situation. Things are a lot better now, even between my ex and I, and today I also received my Health Benefits card in the mail here at the shelter, so I finally now can see a dentist and an optometrist (long overdue for seeing both!). : )
The lord god is so so good and his timing is perfect , he will open doors that no man can just keep your faith and trust in him in Jesus name ….. Amen
