At long last, things are falling into place for the Burtons. Since last Thursday we have found an apartment where the rest was marked down $150/month and it has a garage; Ashlee found a new job that will pay her more and not make her get up at three in the morning; I got a job (yes, you read that correctly) that will be absolutely perfect for school. I will be watching the desk at a student housing complex during the graveyard shift, so I will actually be getting paid to study and work on my freelance editing. Don't think less of me for using company time for personal things. In the interview the building manager said, "It's good that you have that freelance stuff, 'cause it gets boring."
All of these things being said, I do feel like a bit of as Israelite, wandering in the wilderness while murmuring under my breath about my hardships and trials. I hope that I can take this experience and grow from it, and hopefully be able to face future rough spots with a little more trust and faithfulness. I will remember the blessings that we recieved this week, and remember that the Lord knows when the best options will come around. If we had not waited (been compelled to wait) for this job and this apartment, we would have ended up paying a lot more for housing and I would have had a tougher time ahead of me this semester. I like comparing this to Tetris because everything doesn't just fall into place; there is a knowing and caring hand guiding these happenings in our lives.
P.S. My comment board that I had on the sidebar was giving me trouble, so I have to figure something else out.
