We are officially in full swing into phase two of the transition from college life to separated, working life. I'm constantly amazed at how God works. I realize that, by now, you'd think I'd know He's capable of WAY more than I can fathom. Yet, each time He does something, I'm amazed...and a slow learner apparently.
Now the N is working full-time, we are having to do the BIG move. Zoe and I are moving in with my mom and N is moving into a humble abode by the dam. We've been on the lookout for something with storage because we really don't want to pay for storage. It is amazing how many apartments don't have garages.
We've been in deep prayer about this. I'm not kidding, I probably pray no less than 25 times a day about the living situation. If I've learned anything in my short life, it's that finding a great place to live in a foreign land is hard. Especially when N, who is a little directionally challenged, is having to find these places. He doesn't like to go off the beaten path. I can't say I blame him. I don't like feeling lost either.
We had decided that since we couldn't find an affordable place with storage, we'd go with a cheaper apartment and a storage unit.
Then I got a call from my dear friend Steph, who is from the area around the dam. She had a lead.
In ways that only God can produce, we are the official renters of a 3-bedroom duplex with a garage. It's only $25 more a month than the apartment with less rooms and no garage. What's even better, you can see the river from some of the rooms. Which means N doesn't have far to travel for work.
I cannot tell you how great it feels to have that squared away. Now we're onto the really fun stuff...packing and prepping for a yard sale.
