It Was Always in His Hands

Hi!

I'm glad to say that I didn't end up sleeping on the streets last night!  Yesterday morning, while I was waiting for the bus, I ran into a girl and told her the situation that I was in (not having a place to stay), and she told me that I was welcome to stay with her.  I wasn't sure about the offer at first, but once the time came around to sleep, I decided that the offer that she gave me was a must take. 

I jumped off of the bus around 9:00 last night and headed to the hostel to check on some people and see some others.  I hung out with the roommates that I had in there for the three days that we lived together, we said our goodbyes, and I walked about 100 yards to my new place for the night. Once I arrived at the door, I knocked, she answered, and the rest is history.  It's pretty unbelievable that someone would welcome me into their home just like that. This is the place that God has me for now, and He has me their for a purpose.  It didn't take long for me to realize why I was there, but that is for God and I to know, not everyone on the internet.

After a fairly restful night on the couch, I began the day excited to forward the home search process in an interview with the Home Share program coordinator.  This Home Share program has been what I've been holding out for all this time.  If I was not waiting on this program, I would have been in an apartment directly after arriving.

For this program, I must get interviewed, along with the families, and then we decide on who matches best with who.  Andrew, the coordinator, arrived today already having interviewed everyone yesterday, so things are well on their way.  After he interviewed me, he began to tell me, one by one, what the interviews where like with the possible hosts.  Before he got to the last host, I was a bit unsure as to who I should choose to live with.  I didn't have much of a lead.  I knew that God called me to live with a family while here, so I was kind of wandering why no application jumped out at me...but then, Andrew read the last application!

Ahh, there they are.  I won't speak much more about it, but I will say that I am super excited to hopefully meet them tomorrow, and possibly be in a home by tomorrow night!  No more homeless Ben lol.

So thankful,

Benjamin
