Anytime we have to wait for something it’s easy to become impatient, but in recognizing that need for peace and tranquility there is the opportunity to allow God to move in our lives in a new way, since that “peace that passes all understanding” is a gift that God gives and not something we manufacture.

I do think that your apartment hunting is still a good thing. Years ago, during a time that I was waiting God’s direction in a particular situation, I came across a commentary on Acts 1:15-26. The writer noted: “While the apostles waited, they were doing what they could – praying, seeking God’s guidance, and getting organized. Waiting for God to work does not mean sitting around doing nothing. We must do what we can, while we can, as long as we don’t run ahead of God.”

So, do the research, visit a few apartments but also seek God’s peace and tranquility in the midst of it. After all, the virtue of patience is something that God grows in you.

LOL – landlords can’t take the risk that the big banks have been taking for years.

And yeah, you may even want to wait a few months after you’ve gotten that job to make sure that you like it and can save money to move, etc, etc.

“In short, it’s accepting the reality that the world does not revolve around me.”

Also, the world revolves around me, so we need to get that straight.
