Finally, a place to call home....

So my last post was titled TRUST...well, since that time God has continued to show me the path of HIS timing and steadfast faithfulness in trusting HIM alone. Some events this summer that came as part of God's plan had me change some of "my" plans.

I moved from the townhouse I had been staying for 1 1/2 yrs. into another townhouse with a couple who had a spare bedroom. Events played out that I didn't stay with Tim and Jenny this summer due to an illness Jenny's mom had and Jenny's absence in MI for most of the summer. Jenny's mom passed away in early due to be with her Lord.

I also found out in early July that my potential roommate was strongly thinking of moving back to MI. She was home for a few weeks and didn't know what this year was going to look like for her in terms of a job because she didn't like the system she was in down here.

As a result, God began to reveal to me His plan for what was to come this summer. Most of my friends here already are rooted in apartments and aren't looking to move. So where was I going to find someone to live with that I knew or that would want to live in the south Charlotte area?

As it turns out, my friend Courtney has a younger sister who moved down to Charlotte in June after graduating college in May and was living with them until she found a place of her own.

I have met Maia, Courtney's sister, on a several occasions prior to her moving here. Maia moved here not having a job and was in the process of seeking out opportunities to work. There was another opportunity that came about for me this summer at the church where I served as an intern and was doing camps for the summer. Starting the 2nd week of July, I came on as part-time temporary staff 29 hrs. a week at SOAR as they are searching for a new sports outreach ministry director. Due to this unexpected change, my status of working at CSO as their admin assistant became hard to work the hours needed for the position.

This led to them needing to find someone else to fill the position. Well, they didn't have to look far to find Maia who again was looking for a job and since Courtney was apart of the Leadership with me this became a great opportunity for both Maia and CSO.

CSO then hired Maia on as part-time with the hopes of being full-time in the future. This opened the door wide open for another opportunity. A potential roommate.

So Maia and I talked about finding a place to live together in the South Charlotte area. We looked up places on the web and came across a house about 10 minutes from where I am now.
We checked it out about a week ago and let's just say it was a no go! So we decided to check out an apartment they her sister and another friend mentioned might be a good place to live.

To get to the point, Maia and I are going to be moving to an apartment on August 25 in the south Charlotte area! Finally, a place to call home.....After 2 + years, I will have a place where I'm not living with couples or singles in their home. The Lord has been good to me in these 2 years and couldn't have been more blessed, but excited to be moving in this "grown - up" direction!

All of this has happened fast, so please pray again for another move and transition that I'm about to go through in the next 2 weeks. God has been perfect in His timing and has always provided in ways that I stand in awe of Him.

He is Faithful!
