So this last week has been a roller coaster but an amazing one. I'm so poor it's almost comical but it's crazy how there just always seems to be the money to pay things...I don't try to figure out how.
I'm still in need of a second job. I only work 30 hours with Head Start and thankfully my sister has showed pity on me and given her little sister a job (bless her!) But ideally I would like to work elsewhere so that she wouldn't have to pay me and cause I kind of actually suck at working retail. I mean...me selling bra's? I have been looking everyday for jobs and just nothing has come thru.
Tuesday of last week I got called in for a admin job for a local real estate job. I went to the interview and it went great so I had high hopes. That same day a great apartment came open. I was living in a 450 sq ft apartment paying 740.00 a month. (that included all utilities and cable and wi-fi) oh and it was fully furnished. So I went and looked at the apartment...it's 2 bedroom, still downtown and WAY bigger then where I have been. It was 750.00 for everything except electric. The landlady really liked me and offered it to me right then and there. The thing was I would have needed to break my lease with where I was and my landlady there is a little crazy....
I talked to my currently landlady (Karen) and she didn't want to let me out of my lease and sounded like she was gonna give me a hard time about it and I started to think that the new apartment was just a little too out of my price range so I called Kim (new landlady) and told her that I was just a little worried about the electric putting me over what I could really afford and that I was really bummed and blah blah.
Wednesday: I get a call back from Kim (new landlady) and she liked me so much that she would be willing to rent me the apartment for 700.00. WHAT?! I was so freaking excited!! But then I had to face Karen (current landlady) well this time she was SUPER nice about letting me out and let's me break it no problem.
Thursday: Pack like a mad women. The sooner I get out of the studio apartment the sooner Karen can rent it to someone else. Kim calls (new) and she offers to put all sorts of furniture in the apartment for me. I own a bed and a couch and that is it...no dishes, no nothing. She gives me a few things I need. But I continue to make a HUGE list for Ikea and I start to freak out about how much I'm gonna have to spend. (Especially cause I just bought a new tv...ouch!)
Friday: I get a call about the job...I didn't get it :( I was bummed for like 5 minutes...haha. Then my phone rings and it's another job wanting to set up another interview! CRAZY! So hope is still alive for another job...yes!
Saturday: Moving Day! My wonderful sister and family help me move. It took us 45 min. haha.
Sunday: Nothing exciting. Except the Ikea list grows and so does my anxiety about how much money I'm gonna spend....
Monday: Go on interview. It goes really well! Hope still alive!
Tuesday: Friend of a friend offers to give me pots and pans and all sorts of house type things! The Ikea list gets shorter!!
Wednesday: Get a call back about the job...don't get it :( Bleh. 10 min later I get a call from my mom who makes me feel even worse about life (she didn't mean to)...now I feel completely stressed/overwhelmed....cry for a while. But then I get a call from Kim and she says she just found all this amazing furniture for my place! And...get this...it all matches what I had already...um for real?!?! She also has a tv I can use!! Talk about a pick me up phone call! I snap out of feeling sorry for myself and start to get really excited about the new place and the Ikea list goes WAY down! I return the tv I bought and can now use that money to go to Ikea with....anxiety basically gone!!
So yes, I'm still in need of a 2nd job BUT He clearly is providing for me in ways that I just can't comprehend and I need to not insult Him by stressing and dis trusting Him when He has CLEARLY proven Himself worthy of my trust :) I'm so blessed and feeling completely un worthy of His love and provision. I know this is all apart of this adventure that I'm on and I wouldn't be able to learn any of these lessons had I not taken the leap and come here. I'm still poor but the peace I have defiantly surpasses understanding!
