The Time Has Come

To say that I'm not scared would be like saying I love bees. I just so happen to dislike the flying stinging insect species. As of last Friday, Tiffany and I have an apartment. This will be the first time Te and I are going to be one our own. Although Tiffany won't be living there till November. This is one of the biggest steps in my life. Our own place! This isn't living with my girlfriends family house, or the church house, or some ladies from the church house or even mooching of my parents house. Our own place.

At first I was like no freaking way. But it was at the apartment complex I wanted to live in. Near the church, but far enough away from the kids that live in a nearby apartment complex. This place is fully loaded: gas stove, fridge, dish washer, 2 spacious bedrooms, a nice size living room and kitchen nook.

Like I mentioned I was a little hesitant towards the who thing. Thinking, "Is this a little soon?" and all the rest of that kind of crap that comes into my head. But if I've learned one thing from Te, it's that she incredibly in tune with God. Let me explain. When we first looked at the place, at first I was we are gonna live here. Then the crap in my head comes flooding in. Blaa blla this! blaa blaa that! Anyways you get the picture. Lots of Crap. Te and I sat down and we talked for a bit about the whole thing. And just talking with her made me feel at ease. Becasue she knows that God is not gonna give us this apartment and le us fail at it. He will provide. So I had to take this lesson from Te and apply it quick becasue I had to hand ove the money for the rent and the deposit. But something happened when I handed the money over. I felt good. At first I was, "paying that much money to live...that's lame" but know I can't wait to pay the lady her $810 each month becasue it's our home now. And most of all that's what I wanted. To share a home with Tiffany.

Now that is not to say that that feeling won't sneak up again. but this time I know that God won't have us fail. SUPER SIZE GOD! I need to remember that. So please keep Te and I in your prayers as we embarke on the start of our journey together. Thanks.

P.S. - If anyone needs to get rid of some stuff, Te and I could use it. Thanks
