Can I just tell you how the Lord works in Mysterious ways. Well he does. I have been so sad here in Dallas, thinking that I wouldnt find a perfect place to live and that I wouldnt make any new friends. Well Guess What, I have done both. I found someone to help mom and I when I first got here to help me find an apartment. He gave me some good leads. So mom and I plugged the address’ into my GPS and we went. I fell in love with one, but I decided that it might be a little to far away. So I made Meredith drive it with me. She decided that it was also too far away, so my heart was broken.
So the next day or two I set out to find another great apartment. The problem with that is that I am used to paying Dahlonege prices and so I thought paying $350 in rent was high…Well guess what..Dallas is so high in rent that I will be paying at least $650 to find a good area that I feel safe and I have everything I want. So as I was driving around I walked into an office to an apt and this guy with his mom over heard me saying I was from Ga. (literally the night before I was crying to Mere talking about me not having any friends or not having a life here in Texas and that I wanted to move back to GA with all my friends and family)..so here is where the Lord was working…so this guy says, "where from in GA?", and I tell him Dalton, knowing he would have no clue, and he said "well I am from Chattanooga, TN", well if you dont know, Dalton is only about 25 minutes from Chattanooga, so it is my Atlanta I guess you could say when I am in Dalton. Hello Lord, Thanks. So Chris from Chatt. and I switched cell phone numbers, and his mom was so sweet. Him and I followed each other to a few other apartments and then I gave him some numbers to some other places, I even gave him the place and address of the apt that I LOVED. Well I got a text from him later that day that said "thanks for the referal, I signed at Lakewood Green (the great place) and I am moving in"….well again the Lord working, bc I went back yesterday with another apartment locator (who is also going to be my new friend Shelley) and I decided that 15 minutes isnt bad for the exact place that I would love to live and feel the safest in. So I signed yesterday and I texted Chris from Chatt to tell him where I would be living…and we are going to be exact next door neigbors. So Thank you for all your prayers, bc they are working. Thanks…
I miss you all so much, and I will give you my address the minute that I have it memorized. Thanks again! Gilly
