Up until last week, I was almost certain that I would be moving into a house of christian girls - I heard about it from Abby my (awesome!) cubemate. It just seemed perfect, so I didn't even look at anything else (I know, I'm still learning. Don't put all your eggs in one basket!).
Well, after a long interview with the girls, I started feeling the Lord tell me that this probably wasn't the best living environment for me. I was confused, because I had been so excited and certain about it at first. But I put it before him, asking him to lead me into the perfect housing situation he has for me.
Get this - 1 week later (July 21st, with my sublease up on the 31st), I have:
- An offer to housesit for 1 1/2 weeks at the beginning of August
- 2 couches offered for me to sleep on
- An offer from my current roommate to just stay until August 22, because she'll be gone for work!
Basically, I have an added 2 weeks to look for housing! And not only that...
I've been looking into living with Erin and her two roommates on capital hill, and we found 2 row houses that look amazing!!!! So, I am no longer stressed, just excited about what God will provide. Doesn't it always turn out that his plans are so much better than ours?
Another pic from the weekend...but right now I'm almost this happy!
Praying for a great apartment for you. Can't wait to see you tomorrow. As for saying "free" to the guy who wanted the menu, twice when someone at the airport told me to have a nice flight I said, "You too." and thought of that Brian Regan skit.
