Update on possible roommate

Hey....wow, my 2nd post in less than a week ....not to bad for me!

I wanted to give a brief update on what the next "move" is looking like. A guy I work with at CSO, Tim, talked with his wife, Jenni, about a friend of theirs from MI who is currently living in Charlotte about the possibility of us living together. I have been in contact with her via email and we are working out a time to get together to talk about near future with rooming. This comes as a answer to prayer that I might have a roommate due to the cost of living for one person. I have no idea what will come of this, but know that it is only a step in the journey.

Thanks for your continued prayers as I sort through where to live since the time is fast approaching. I will keep you updated on what comes of the meeting with this girl, Lynette.

Trust means risking....

Well, it has been way to long since I've last posted anything on here. I could name a few good reasons like being busy, not having the internet at home, and so on. None of which are valid reasons to why I've left some of you in the dark.

The title right now sums up what I am processing and going through right now. Trust means risking......status, security, safety, the known, pride, failure.........the list goes on and on.....

Questions surround this thought of trust. Why do we trust? Why is it hard to trust? How do we trust? In whom do we put our trust?

Right now, I am faced with many of these questions and sometimes I don't know how to answer except for believing my TRUST needs to be found in Jesus. And sometimes that is hard to do.

As of now, I am needing to Trust in His provision for a place to live by June 8 in Charlotte, financially for the next 4 months as I am a self-funded intern doing camps this summer through Christ Covenant Church (where I served with SOAR for 6 months in Sports Outreach Ministry) , and a full-time position in Sports Outreach Ministry. I have income through CSO as there Admin. Assistant and working about 40 hrs. a week, but is due to change in a month or less.

I don't want to hide in the safety of what is seen, but believing in what is not seen. Please pray that God will allow me to see HIS grace, truth, and love in Trusting in His perfect timing.
