Perseverance

Well friends and family, I have learned over the past few days that what glitters is not always gold.  Even though I might be down in beautiful Florida, life is far from simple and perfect right now.  My housing situation is a mess.  Come the weekend, myself and 3 other girls still have nowhere to live down by Miami.  We have been hunting and have a few places to look at on Saturday but most places require a $100 background check before you can live in their apartment or town-home.  Expensive!! The 3 of us here in the states have been trying to work together along with our organization to figure something out but it just has not been going well.  I have been working on my patience and trust in God throughout this whole situation but it is definitely becoming more and more difficult as my time to start at the school draws closer.  I really want to stay down here and go on this big adventure I have been talking up to everyone but I can't stay if I don't have a place to live.  So please think good thoughts or say prayers tonight for myself and the 3 other girls I am supposed to live with that we find a place to live fast.

This unease and not knowing where I am living is starting to make me a little homesick but God will take care of me.  He always does.

Thank you for all your prayers and support so far! Sorry this was such a downer day!

  1. Lauren, this can be very tough. David and I are staying in a hotel for like 40 some days we are in CA this time around. It is really pinching our wallet! I wish you the best of luck. Keep your options open and your eyes peeled. <3
