So, as I've mentioned here before, I'm heading to Iowa City in the fall. As of yesterday, I've got an apartment lined up. I just have to sign the lease and reimburse my future roommate's parents for my half of the security deposit and first month's rent. Oh yeah, that's right. I'm going to be having a roommate for the first time in my life, at the age of 24. It shall be different. I've gotten used to living alone. I may have to change a few things. The closest I've been to having a roommate was living on the same dorm floor--or the Katrina Spring Break trip, where 500 guys slept in the same room.
We had our second Iowa City team meeting today, and it's amazing to hear what God is doing already. Those that are trying to sell houses in Ames are having amazing success--"We sold our house in a week" "Ours sold in half a week" "We had a cash offer before we actually listed it"--and this is supposed to be a buyer's market! It should not be this easy. The main things left are finding housing and work in IC, but God will take care of those things on His schedule, not ours.
At Perspectives today, I mentioned that I had been at church since 9 that morning--church then the meeting, then Perspectives--and God decided to use one little thing I said. For those that have never taken Perspectives (which I think is absolutely none of those that actually read this, but just in case) at the tables there are some postcards so that you can thank the speaker for coming. Anyway, at the start of the snack break, one of the guys at my table handed me one of these cards with his name and phone number on one side. On the other side was a list of names. I asked him what it was, and he said it was friends he knew in Iowa City that needed the gospel. We'll see what God is going to do in regards to this list. The list is currently sitting in my Bible along with about 50 other pieces of paper--including all of the prayer requests asked at this morning's meeting.
