What are you doing here?

Well, I guess if you really want to kill time... just read my newest story. Wait, story? No. It's not a story. It's not fan-tas-y. It is real. It really happened. So... I guess that means this blog is based on a true story.

Here were the obstacles.
I needed to be moved out by Tuesday. (In 4 days. *gulp*)
I couldn't afford any of the apartments. (Expensive! *gulp*)
I couldn't afford the pet deposits on any of the apartments. (And I love my kitties! *gulp*)
I was down to having to live somewhere I was not certain I wanted to-- my parents' house. (Dad and I get along with me not at home. *gulp*)
I had to pay $271.36 for the title of my vehicle to be transferred to my name. (Came from the original move out money. Oh dear. *gulp*)

Here's how it went.
Looked at a lot of apartments on Wednesday. List of 50 is shortened to 1.
Changed title of vehicle to my name. No more $$ to move out. Gag.
MUST move to parents' home. To move home, MUST find homes for my two old cats. Sob.
Surrendered to God 1,001 times over having to give up cats.
Friday, work like mad to find the kitties homes. Nothing. Nobody wants cats! Sob. Surrender again.
Friday night around 1:00 a.m., friend calls. Has an offer...

Her mother is willing and wanting me to move in with her so that I don't have to give up my kitties. She's divorced and has a cat of her own and is in a big house by herself.

Friday night around 2:00 a.m., I pull myself together from crying in hope and praying to call my parents. Ask them to pray with me for guidance.
Saturday night, go over and see the house. Felt peace.
Sunday. Scramble the troops, we're moving!!!!! And we did! From 3:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m.!

Praise God. I'm out and I have the kitties with me. This place is beautiful. It has 3 acres. It is 6 minutes from work. It's quiet. It's hidden away. I love it.

I was looking at an efficiency (1 room apt.) and God gave me a big house. I was looking at the facts of money, and God was showing His abundance. I was feeling penned in, and God was showing how He wanted me to fly.

Here is my megaphone. Hear me now: GOD IS FAITHFUL.
