Apartment Hunting Testimony!

This was my testimony for my apartment...written back in July.

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am SO grateful that God intervenes in my life. : ) He has ONCE AGAIN gone above and beyond and has met an urgent need of mine.

As most of you know, I have been apartment hunting and praying that God would provide something affordable and safe for my Dog and I to live. After a few weeks of really being tested…and ALMOST taking two apartments that I really wasn't too happy with (would have totally been settling)…God has provided the PERFECT place for me to live.

I gave this testimony in church last night, but isn't it awesome when we fully rely on God to provide and listen to his voice? He didn't ALLOW me to take the other two apartments and proved that by closing the doors QUICKLY. The first apt in Troy, I was trying to find the people to tell them that I would take it and I couldn't find them anywhere…don't you know the guy comes in like 10 min later and BEFORE I could say I'll take it, he said it was just rented out. WOW. What a blessing!! Sara and Adam came with me…thanks for your support and honest comments guys. : ) I should have listened, but thankfully God closed it anyways.

The next place I was about to take was in Albany by Lark Street and smelled like pot/cigarettes and had a possibility of having bugs. YUCK. I was willing to take it though cause it was so close to everything, figuring I could clean it up real good. Again- settling. Well God closed that door real quick too in different ways.

The gas is costing me an ARM and a LEG to go to Amsterdam, so God knew I needed something fast. I prayed while driving down Western Ave last week and said to God, "God, I really would love to live in this area…its clean, safe and SO close to work and 10 min from Church, family and friends…if its your will, I know you will provide something here."

Well I had NO CLUE that my friend Justin's place would soon be available to rent. (which is exactly in my price range, not to mention off of WESTERN AVE, next to Suny (work) and 10 min from Church!!!!...*clears throat* can we say WOW??!?)

I was told that if someone else didn't take the apt (the landlord had already asked another woman first), then it was mine if I wanted it!!!

I found out LAST NIGHT that the woman declined and it was offered to me and I accepted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! : )

I am SOOOOO happy! GOD, THANK YOU AGAIN and thank you for all of your prayers, my dear friends and family. I love you all.
