I got married on 27 July 2013, and soon after, I moved to Glasgow and joined Re:Hope West End. We got really involved, made lots of new friends, and enjoyed a great life, including having two amazing children. However, in June 2021, my world fell apart when I discovered that my husband had been unfaithful, shattering my dreams for the future.
The next few years were filled with challenges as I navigated life as a single mum — managing bills, dealing with household issues, starting a new full-time job, and more. Yet, through it all, God was incredibly close and He provided for me and my children in every way.
Then, on a cold, wet Sunday morning in January, during the response time at Re:Hope Southside, the date "27 July” appeared on the screen. No other context, just the date. I felt that God was prompting me to go for prayer. So, I went forward, and Jordan Bull prayed for me. I explained that I wasn’t sure why I was there, but that date was my wedding anniversary, and I believed God was encouraging me to go for prayer.
As Jordan prayed, he said, "Lindy, we're going to reframe this date. We're going to bless it and see what God does with it." At that moment, I felt a shift within me, as if my healing was being accelerated. God was at work, restoring and redeeming my story.
As time went on, it became clear that I would need to sell my house; I couldn’t afford to stay in our family home on my own. With financial pressure mounting, I faced the daunting task of selling the house and finding a new place to live within four months. The house went on the market on 15 May, and it sold shortly afterwards for the exact figure I was looking for.
There were lots of hoops to jump through and the moving out date kept changing up until the last minute, and then it was finally confirmed for… 27 July!
My offer on a new house was quickly accepted and we got the keys to our new home on 15 August, exactly four months after we had put the old house on the market. What a wild journey. Honestly, it’s hard for me to put into words how thankful I am and how wonderful God is.
Friends, whatever you are facing today, whether life has turned out as you expected or not, I want to remind you that God is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end, and He will work all things for your good and His glory. Romans 8:28
Here’s to all the new beginnings 🏡✨
