Psalm 91
1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.[a]
2 I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”

2 I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”
Well, I found a home, after two years living all over the world with family, friends, and associates. God is good. I had looked at several senior citizens places, as I was considered a senior on my last birthday in June. I had originally planned to retire out of the country - Belize was my last choice, if I did not make it to the Peace Corps. Well, I did not get a chance to make that decision, I was diagnosed with cancer, and here I must stay. But God - I am living in Greensboro, Georgia. It turns out that this is where my family, on my mother's side of the family, originated. Every other door was closed, and a window was opened here.
I have made friends who suggested that I check out the Senior Center in Greensboro where I wanted to learn how to quilt. I had no plans on joining, but like most of my plans, that was overturned. I joined and started learning about quilting and mentioning that my great-grandmother was a midwife in the area fifty years ago. One by one as I met and started talking to some of the seniors, I discovered women whose children were delivered by my great-grandmama, Annie Smith. One of the Directors, also believed that she was delivered by my Grandma Annie. Then, by doing research on historic preservation projects, I discovered a program for African American historical research and resources. Someone that I talked to there is going to check out Grandma Annie's house and help me in researching my great-grandmama. I couldn't have planned it better if I tried. God is in control.
My new home is not a senior's apartment, but it is an affordable place with credit given for utilities and tax credit given to the landlord. It is a townhouse, 2 bedrooms and 11/2 bath. Enough space for a office/library, and guest room, so I guess I'll stay here for awhile.
