The Life-Changing Room: PART FOUR

            2 more hours passed before we were escorted to our car and then back into Canada. The house that we have been living in for over 4 years, still full with furniture, clothes, and appliances, would now be desolate from any from of moving life. Our school was left behind along with our friends and acquaintances. The tears never ceased to flow as the trip prolonged.

            We approached the Canadian border once more, "You know you have to do something with this car? I'm going to have to guide you over to that building over there and they'll tell you what you need to do."

            We knew this was going to happen. My mom still had payments to pay on her Pontiac so the border is entailed to impound it until we are able to finish paying the expenses. Parking the car, we didn't even need to exit before guards were at the driver's window asking questions. Someone looked familiar. It was a woman. She looked with compassion and seemed to understand what was happening. YES! It as the Canadian lady we had talked to while first entering the country. She knew our situation and with the sympathy instilled in her heart, she waved us off with our car reminding us that if we couldn't make the payments soon, we would eventually have to do something about it.

           

            This life experience left my whole family and me in the dark. We are still trying to figure out what we are going to do about school (which is SO different it would be practically impossible to finish here), about our house there, about my mom's job…we're blind to the future.

            You hear about people who lose everything, they have no hope and their life is falling apart, so they decide to take their own life. Without God, I'm sure something like that would happen to me (maybe not as life-threatening as that, but something that would eternally hurt me). God is so good. He gives me peace at heart as everything is shattered. He knows how to reconstruct for the better. I don’t understand how this will end up benefitting anyone, but God does. He sees the future, whether tomorrow or the end of time. I am given hope, willingness to use my circumstances for Him, and ever-growing patience! It's extremely hard, but worth it. Prayers are constantly being sent above for guidance and for the salvation of lives due to our pain here on earth.
