Well apparently, they want someone closer to a bigger city . Said they would get back to me, but never did. Rather not take a job if there is going to be issues getting hours etc. God knows my needs, amen.
Not to be. Sounds like they may not be nice to work for, since they didn't fulfil their promise to ring.

My day was less than perfect. I found out that my new rental the landlords are thinking of opening a business from.
That's a shame. Did they say they won't be offering you an extension?

Nothing said yet as it has not expired.
I only just moved here and found out on facebook about it.
I am upset to say the least.
Funny thing is (or not so funny) is just before I moved here I had a dream that they were just using me for rent money and were going to open up a business. Also a couple of days ago I heard the words get ready get ready over and over in my spirit. Four times now even before the landlords tell me that they are selling I have heard God warn me. Two days ago I heard the words again. Who says God does not talk to us. Not me!!

Is it your home? Are they wanting you to move? Seriously would be frustrating.

My day was very long .My cats decided to fight under my bed and wake me at 5 am . So after tossed and turned. Had an offer for a job interview, so decided to set one up. I have another one next week at factory,but decided against it. Kind of weary of getting hurt when I work. This last frostbite thing was enough.I cleaned, did outside work, ran errands . I took my son to work. Got caught in my car by my neighbor(sort of a Mrs. Kravitz) . She was worried about my lawn and where I am working etc. I was vague figured the neighborhood didn't need to know ;) . I went to the interview knowing they would hire me. So now back cleaning for a living in healthcare.
I thought I may take a nap but my son forgot his subway giftcard and needed food. I again avoided my neighbor had to run.
I ended up weeding the garden after, weed eating, pulling up pavers(22 lb.s) and tossing some grass seed before I could relax today. But it was a good day to stay busy and to get out and enjoy the weather. Plus soon will start work. God has blessed me immensely!

No I am renting and I will find out the verdict next week. I have though woken up today with a better attitude, thank God as the last two days have not been good. God has reminded me that when I stick my heels in and dont move with what his will is for me things turn out disasterous for me and I suffer for it. So if he wants me to move again so be it. I am now ok with it. There are moments it seems quite exciting as I wonder what is next? What a complete 180 change in attitude. That itself is a complete miracle for me. Perhaps he is changing me which is a good thing.

I've been staying busy with rest. Working on hobbies, and getting sleep. I got some other things I need to work on, but I'm at a stand still currently.

Wow you had a busy day. Whilst you were doing all that I was sleeping as it was night here. Woken up, had breakfast and wrote some comments on here and that is about all for me. Very rainy day today so I dont know what I will do. I miss my cat although I dont miss the fights she got into with the neighbouring cats. Oh boy, what a stress that was lol.

Congrats with your new job. I pray that you enjoy it immensely and that they pay is better than what you expect.

I'm not sure how it works in WA, and what the requirements of the Rental Tenancy Authority are there, but in QLD the landlords have to give two months forewarning of their intent to not renew a residential lease. The tenants are only required to give two weeks notice. Besides the stress of not knowing and feeling abused, do you like where you are now living?

it has both it positives and negatives and now that I know that they have withheld intent from me if God has something else for me I am willing to move. The last two days have been really difficult since I found out, truly the devil and his thoughts come in like a flood. I was rather upset with God but have woken up with a better attitude. The thing is as long as you are in Gods will, things are easier. If it is not his will for me to stay here it is no use me sticking my heels in and trying to make staying happen. I have done that before and I got to stay and was miserable from it for the next two years. I learnt my lesson, go with what GOD wants you to do and things will be a heap better for you than if you dont. If he wants me to move again I will. Now if he says, ok I want you to move again. I will probably have a meltdown lol. Then when I finish, I will start packing again and move.

I understand. I've had to do the same thing many times. It's hard not to be anxious, and understandable to worry about what happens next, particularly when it comes to things like having a roof over your head. The feeling of being treated treacherously, and abused is hard to jump over, too. May God give you peace, and may He provide you the habitation He desires for you.

Just because the landlords are thinking they wish to use your place for business purposes other than their current arrangement with you, doesn't mean that will happen at all. He can stop we humans plans in their tracks, as and when He wishes. Rest in Him, Ruby, it will all work out to your good👍

Amen thankyou Tony, I needed to hear that.
I also feel like God is trying to break control off me. The need to be in control of my life which I have a master degree in lol. He gave me that dream of walking into deep water just before I moved in here and it showed me that he was trying to break control off me. It is not a pleasant experience to say the least. I hope to come out the other end FREE!!

Yep, I was thinking about that just a while ago, whilst cleaning up after the window cleaner 🙄
The scripture that came to mind was "count it all joy when you go through these trials"...and as you well put it, God uses them to build godly character in our lives, and to convince us to put trust in Him, not in our own resources. No saying you need any character building, but reflecting on similar trials in my life, they've help me develop a much more stoic character, and trust in Him. Shalom 🙂

Yeah I do need more character building. I just wish there was an easier way. That would be nice.
I cleaned my big window today when I got home. The landlords dogs come over and look through the sliding door windows to see if I am home. They either breathe on the window or leave smudge marks from their nose. They are a bit of a pain to say the least.

My day off was full. I woke up early cleaned some. My house is generally pretty tidy and clean. But had handyman coming over to fix several light fixtures in the kitchen . I prayed about him coming ,because the man can be very tardy .I wonder what he has been through . He used to show up smelling pretty bad and clothes not clean. I had to say something to the landlady because he was making us sick. He would start a project that took maybe an hr, and take 8-12 hr.s. Anyways been praying for him. Today he showed up ahead of time clean, new clothes and in a great mood. He fixed the oven exhaust light, the light above the sink and put in a new one by washer and dryer. Only took him about 4 hr.s. My son stayed and made sure if he needed anything he could help. I had to get to farmers market to get green beans etc. to freeze. I do not have enough room to grow everything I need.
I got my lawn mowed and walked 4 miles with weighted vest . Very productive day, waiting on my son making mac and cheese with pulled pork thrown in. Maybe tomorrow I will be lazy ;)

Your days seem to be quite full. Glad there was an improvement in handyman for his sake as well as yours lol.
