I'm not homeless!

So we have been talking, for a few weeks, to our only housing option. After tons of calls and looking at places there was only one place here in Utah that became an option for our family.  So she has been waiting for other offers, not wanting to hold the place a month for us to give our current landlord 30 days notice (not uncommon).  After talking to many, we realized NO ONE will wait for you. So we took a leap of faith and gave our notice without having a place to go.  Anyway, so we have been talking to this lady. She has been telling me she was still waiting but we are first on the list. Well, then throughout the last week and a half I have been trying to contact her to see if it has been rented or not. Sometimes she doesn’t answer and she never calls back. We were feeling pretty anxious today, thinking if we have to move to Ca. now, we need to know now, so we can prepare for the long trip and how to get our stuff there.

I decided to text her today and ask if there was any news. She said she was going to talk to her husband when he got home at six. At seven (I am impatient at this point) I text her back to see if she had talked to him. She said her husband said yes…if we had the deposit and can bring it by. Well that was 7:30 by the time she replied. AJ gets paid tomorrow so I had to ask if tomorrow was fine. No answer. So I call her finally at 8:00 and she said she didn’t get the text but tomorrow was fine. So now we know we got the apartment. We know we won’t be worrying about it for the next two weeks.  We know what the plan is. This is huge amounts of relief off of us.  It wouldn’t have been so bad, but with a three year old you want to know where you are going to live.

I was really torn on what god wanted us to do. I kept praying that if we were supposed to go to Ca. if he would just make it impossible to stay. I was starting to think it was what we were supposed to do since we only found one place suitable (size, pets, and price). Then when the lady wouldn’t just let us pay a deposit at first and didn’t answer or call back, I was really beginning to wonder.  We wanted to stay because we want one more year to fix our credit, and pay down debt so when we do go to Ca. we can buy a house. God is good. As scary as it was, I kept thinking “It’s going to be okay, god provides, he always does.”  And two weeks before we have to leave this house, God opened a door for us!!! It is amazing how things work out!

SO now I can definitely say “I am not going to be homeless.”
