Lesson Learned.

Wowwww.. what an interesting week! Glad I made it through it. This is how it went... Kyle and I have been watching for a bigger apartment because ours is just so squishy. One day when Kyle was at work I looked on line and found a managing job! (which is even better and would is very rare) We would live in a basement with 3 bedrooms!! And there are 8 guys that live upstairs that we would manage for. DREAM COME TRUE RIGHT?? Well, Kyle immediately called the guy in charge and we both got off work early and went and looked at the apartment. It was old but pretty big and we thought it would work out perfect for us. The guy in charge told us that we would be the perfect couple that he would put us at the very top of the list. (There were over 30 people that called on it) We went home prayed about it but we both didn't really recieve an answer. Kyle was pretty excited about it but I felt like I just had a huge question mark in my head. We went and looked at it a second time. We decided that we would go for it but we would have to sell the rest of our contract for our apartment first because we wouldn't want to pay rent for two apartments. Well.. we got a lot of calls of people that were interested in our apartment but everyone wanted it in April which wouldn't work for us. It seemed like nothing was working out but we continued to be patient and continued to pray. I swear those two nights I just laid in bed worrying about the situation. The next morning for some reason I wasn't feeling very good about moving into the managing apartment. I called my Dad and he gave me some great advice and I called Kyle and started crying to him about how stressed out I was about the whole deal. I was worried that we would lose out on a lot of money that we have already put down for the apartment we live in now. He calmed me and told me we would talk when he got home. After hanging up with him, he sent me a text that said, "no managing, we aren't gonna do it". We both realized that Heavenly Father knows what is best for us. There was obviously a reason that the whole process wasn't working out. I am sooo thankful for a Heavenly Father that loves me, and my husband and for the spirit that guides us and helps us make correct decisions. My testimony grew from that experience. We both really wanted to move and thought it would be perfect for us, but someone knew better that it wasn't where we were supposed to be. I would say that this scripture would sum up our week: “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.” (Prov. 3:5.) Life goes on.. we are still living in our tiny apartment & we love it.
