Looking for an Apartment is a Strange Thing

(This picture is of fish in the fountain at the monastery

I visited a while back)

So I have quickly concluded that apartment searching

especially when using Craigslist and Kijiji

is really odd.

Why?

Because it is more unique individual and filled with people

who are renting things who may not have a lot of

experience in renting.

Still praying that I will find a good safe quiet apartment that is

affordable.

The ads for December are slowly coming in.

Have not seen any yet that I can go for

(price too high, or no laundry in building;

laundry in building is a non-negotiable for me).

Well. Life is continuing.

One of my facebook long distance friends finally had her baby.

I am going to see another friend's baby be baptized tomorrow.

I thought when I was younger that I would have a life like my friends,

you know,

married with children.

This does not get easier but well, since when was life easy?

But I know God is good and that my life has purpose,

even when it is not the life I had originally envisioned for myself.

Sometimes though I wish things could hurry up a little.

Yet time is so important;

time heals, time instructs,

time gives the opportunity for realizations

and repentance.

So instead of praying CAN'T THIS GO A LITTLE FASTER

I try to say

Lord, please have mercy on me, I really need You.
