Home Sweet Home
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.

Searching for an Apartment
Today is quite the adventure.
I haven't had to look for an apartment before. Ever. Never. The end.
Now that I have been asked to leave the house I live in, my world consists of floor plans, price per unit, location, bills paid, and pets or no. (It's nutty how that happens.) So many options, but also so many that just don't fit the bill.
Before this, I was really depressed, wondering where I would live and how it would work out. I've never lived by myself before. I thought it would be scary. Really no fun. But now I'm thinking it will be. Know what it will be?
An adventure.
And here I come! Where'd I leave my sword? *finds Bible* OKAY! Now, I'm armed!
Let's go view those apartments, and may the best option win!

I need somewhere to talk about God with all the drippy sweetness that is the whole of me. Sometimes I think my roommates don't understand that I love God so much. Sometimes they make me think that I don't love God in the right way. But really, I HAVE to talk about Him. I must.

I just had a long conversation with mom. I had hurt her feelings about her prayer language. I understand somet things now that I didn't before. I will hide this in my heart because now I feel fresh and alive. Thank you God for what came from this.
Mom also likes my writing. The Christmas Greeting that I've been working on for our family was what she's read. She said she really like it. I've come to realize that when I write with heart, it sounds more like me. Hmmm.

PensiveInterpretation:
Today was Beth's birthday party. She turns 15 tomorrow. I can't believe how big she's getting. Not size-wise, but age-wise. I guess I always imagined that she would be young because she is Down syndrome. She's precious, but she's also getting really smart. She surprises me every day. I'm learning not to get preconcieved notions about her-- she breaks them all.I went down from 90mg of Cymbalta to 60mg yesterday. I feel a little of it now. I've had these moments of being really hyper, and then I crash. I just run out of juice. And then I rebound and feel a little better. I think I'm partially running on adreneline right now. At least, that's how my muscles feel. I really want to sleep well tonight. Hopefully I'll be able to conk out without any struggle.
Today was a little weird with Ieldar. He totally is attracted to me, and something inside me is slightly attracted to him, BUT we both know that nothing can happen. Both of our hearts belong to someone else: his to his ex-wife, and mine to my unknown Knight. I sencerely hope that he continues to be a gentleman. Heh, I'm sure he will be. Just silly concerns.
What do I want to do? Why does that question keep coming up? It's not fair. I don't know! My Prince has not told me. I don't want to hear the question anymore!!!! *tears* When will My Prince tell me? When will it be revealed to me? I want to know.
And what will happen with Pia? Will she return home? Or will she stay the course she's on? What if she comes back and I'm a horrible friend? What if us here can't convince her to move her life in a different direction? Hn.
Oh gosh. I want to write. I want my brother to quit leading girls on. I want my life to be fulfilling what God has for me. I want to be organized! I want to be better! I want to be more!
