the UNEXPECTED

It's crazy how things work out sometimes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm moving tomorrow.  So much work goes into moving.  And even more when you have zero ability to transport any of your own things because you don't have a car.  And even more work when your things have to go to four different locations and you are trying to coordinate selling your furniture to individuals.

But that's all not as stressful as the email I got two weeks ago telling me I couldn't move into the place I thought I would be moving into on Aug 1st. 7 It wasn't actually available until Aug 27th.  This was after five days of uncertainty about whether or not I could move in on Aug 1st.

      this means I have to find a place to stay for 26 days
             this means I have to find a place for all my stuff for 26 days
                     this means I have to ask more things of more people.  oh joy.

Well, it turns out God had it all worked out.  The day I found out I couldn't move in until the 27th, a friend offered her garage for all of my things.  A coworker, hearing about my uncertainty, told me to "let her know" if I ended up needing a place to stay for a few weeks.  The day after I found out, I told her, and she offered to let me stay with her family.
           The brilliance of this situation is that her family lives in Pasadena.  Most
           of my community and friends that are willing to help me out also live in
           Pasadena.  So now, for three weeks, I get to continue working (Yay!)
           and I will be close to so many people I love!

This plan (read: God's plan) sounds a whole lot better than my plan.  I was moving to a city where I knew few people, 2 metro trains away from my community, and without a job.

And now, I've managed to find a way to move all of my things and homes for all of my furniture.

God's plan rocks.
