31 BLOCKS DOWN

So we finally found a place to live. So I never realized how much I appreciated being able to move home to my parents house between semesters or how much I loved the simplicy of student housing at BYU. I was woken up quite quickly to reality and my gratitude of the fact that on a mission there was always an apartment waiting to be moved into. Well I was hit quite hard in the face as my craiglist master husband and I searched and searched the city of san fransisco trying to find a place to live. Apparently two unemployed people that haven’t had a job in a few years don’t look too hot on paper. We prayed and prayed about it, called on everything we could find, visited open houses with floods of people waiting at the door. It was quite the situation but like God always does he sent us an angel to make everything okay. Chad had posted a link on craiglist stating that we were looking for a place to live and after we were both ready to live in a van down by the river we received an email from a woman that told us we could come and look at what she had to offer. Chad was in the hospital and so I headed over alone to take a look at the place. The woman answered the door and showed me around, told me about the place she was renting out for the exact amount we were looking for, showed me a beautiful part of her house,

She asked me to tell her about me and as I told her what was going on and about transplant and chad and about me and him and everything, I felt like I just poured out my heart, she told me about her, about her close friends that she had helped care for as they went through chemo  and her dear friend that is awaiting a transplant and her good friend that is a transplant survivor. I told her I need to talk it over with chad, but that I would call her that night. As I left she hugged me, gave me her phone number, with a promise attached that if I needed anything I could call her and that in the meantime I was more than welcome to spend the night so I didn’t have to sleep in the hospital. I left in pure awe at the hand of the Lord I am so grateful for. Chad and I had had many conversations prior about how we were just waiting for the right thing to come and well just like the Lord always does, it came, like it always does after more waiting and working than any of us like to do, but he kept his promise and he made it work and not only that, he didn’t just give us a cardboard box but a home  with an amazing landlord, furnished, beautiful view, everything we needed. God sent us another  angel, this time she was thirty three blocks down.
