Most of my worldly possessions in the middle of my bedroom floor on Sunday (it looks better now!)
Dinner with friends on Monday night
I had arranged for friends to stay in my house while I'm in the US--it was going to work out great for all of us. Saturday morning while I was walking around downtown, I got a text message: "Houston, we have a problem." Their landlord was telling them to move out this past weekend, so they quickly packed up their apartment and moved all their stuff over to my house a few days earlier than planned. I quickly moved many of my things into my bedroom to store, and cleaned the house as much as I could before we filled it up.
The amazing thing about it was seeing the body of Christ work together. A friend from church came to work on my A/C to get it running again, another friend came and helped unload everything--then stayed and helped the electrician-friend with the A/C, the electrician's wife helped organize, clean, and fold clothes to put away while their 7-year old son organized all my friends' shoes! They went above-and-beyond what was expected of them, despite being tired from a long work week and a lot of traveling. Praising God this week for good friends and the body of Christ!
