Early
in our marriage, Wayne and I looked at different homes and properties
to buy closer to where he worked. We kept looking at a particularly
beautiful home many times.
In
fact so many times, the sellers got annoyed at us coming back so much. It was priced right and we had the money to purchase
it, but something about it was “off.” We kept praying and asking
the Lord about it.
Among
other things we were uncertain about, the basement creeped us. It was painted solid black from top to bottom-
the ceilings, the walls, and floors. It was bizarre.
We
finally came to a settled conclusion, we were not going to
buy that house.
Some
time passed and Wayne again drove by that property to see if it had
sold. He was absolutely shocked when the saw the house was
completely leveled right down to the basement.
We
learned later that a young man had died in that house in the
basement in a devastating fire. We heard there was some type
of evil that took place there.
It
pays to pray to God for Divine leadership in our personal lives. He
leads us in ways we cannot see or understand at the time.
