Blessings Received
So... it's been a while since I have posted anything but that's because I was busy receiving my many blessings and putting things in place for my big move! Yep, that's right - I got an apartment and moved in on Saturday (29th August).After my desperate search for an apartment in close proximity to my baby girl's preschool, I found something - not as close - but something really nice. When I first contacted the Landlord, I thought he sounded like a really nice man, then when I met him I found that I was right. Very nice guy indeed! I was so elated.
My grandparents gave me the money for the first month's rent and the security deposit and I received the keys for my place. Now the next struggle was to find a baby sitter and a way to get my daughter from the sitter to school and back. Lo and behold - one of the tenants at the apartment babysits and for much cheaper than the original daycare my daughter used to go to, and that's not all - *drumroll please* - the Landlord told me not to send her to that school so far away because it would be too difficult and expensive to get a driver to carry her to her school and that I should send her to the preschool near the area (one minute's drive away) - I was blown away. I asked if he is sure I would get through as school is reopening in about a week and he said yes and carried me to the preschool - and that's not all either. When I talked to the principal and asked about fees she said it's FREE, she just got into partnership with the Government so I don't need to pay a red cent!Now please tell me being positive and holding faith doesn't work - if you do, I would never believe you! Like I said in one of my earlier posts - don't stress over stuff when it seems like things aren't working out because behind the scenes, where you can't see, things are slowly falling into place for an even greater reward. Now I have cut a significant amount of money off my budget.As for my education, my mother told me she would pay for me to go to school, so I'd be going tomorrow to register - yay! Anddddd, a friend of mine told me her friend is the Project Manager of the newly built Children's Hospital (in my country Trinidad) and that he will get a job for me! And that Hospital is really close to where I live. This is why I'm so elated. I have accomplished more than I ever could in two weeks than I did all year.With a lot of effort and faith, you really can accomplish a lot. Never get discouraged when it seems like it's not going your way because most times our way isn't as great as we think it, but God's way, indeed, is much greater. Had I tried to fight this our simply gave up, I would have never received these many blessings. Things wouldn't have worked as great as it did if it went the way I wanted.My boyfriend, daughter and I are much happier now. And of all the plans my boyfriend and I have made to gain financial freedom and success - I feel closer to it now than I ever had before.
