This past week has been crazy! Should we start from the beginning? It really all revolves around one thing...housing for next year up at school. haha. So, this past Sunday, my roomates and I were sitting in church, and we realized it was fast Sunday...much too late to have fasted, of course. That evening when I went to bed, I prayed that I would somehow in the next week gain a greater testimony of fasting. Boy did I ever.
In the first week or two of December, I began doing a little research on where my two roomates and I were going to live next year. In the next few days after I started looking, we found this really great apartment and were the very first three put on the waiting list to sign contracts for the upcoming year. I didn't think much more about housing until this past week. The manager of the apartment called and informed me on Monday that she only had two spots available for next year, not three. Did I want them? Was one of us going to leave and live somewhere else? I wasn't really too fond of the idea. She said that we would have to sign our contracts on Wednesday if we wanted the spots. I was super frustrated. I had researched and researched for good apartments, found a really reasonably priced one with some awesome amenities, cheaper utilities...why?! So, I began the hunt again. Nothing was working out..Wednesday was coming...stress...stress stress stress. So, we found another option that wasn't as desirable as the one we were on the list for, but it would do. Tuesday night, before we would sign contracts the next day, we all fasted to make sure we were making the right choice of where to live for the upcoming school year. Wednesday rolls around, and I receive a phone call at about 2:00pm...a third spot opened up at our original apartment. I couldn't even believe it. I immediately closed my eyes and thanked Heavenly Father...I realized at that moment that He had answered my prayer from the previous Sunday. Fasting is a true principle, my friends. I have never been very good at it, and I have vowed to myself from now on that I will do nothing but my best to be better at it. The Lord is so good. He will always answer you. All you have to do is ask. :) Have a BEAUTIFUL day.
