Adventures of a tenent

1) Sees a letter in the post box on the way to work. Opens it-notice to move in 18 days!

2) Goes to work, maybe still in denial. Forgets about it in the busy ED

3) Comes back, chats to housemate-groan about the packing. We've just moved in and also no longer mobile students; have acquired a fridge, a washing machine, furnitures...argh

4) Peace in midst of unsettledness because somehow am confident God will provide-especially, especially as I have to move before I leave for Cambodia

5) Start to look at rental properties online, starts to feel some panic-prices have increased and not many available around the area

6) Inspects an unit the next day; doesn't look good.

7) Trawl the internet again.

8) By now day 2 night, I am starting to feel unsettled because there is no house to move into. Looks around at all my stuff, so much to pack.

9) Sleeps late. Wakes up feeling foolish: You know what, my God is trustworthy. He will provide.
And it is not a big deal in the scheme of life. Yes we may not have a place to stay-which in itself is not a big problem because we can always bunk somewhere: but what to do with the furniture is a huge problem. But learning to relax with God on this. Remembering stories of my friends in the mission field with bigger uncertainties. Remembering that hey, it's okay. And I will have a testimony to tell out of it. :)
