This was a timely blessing for me when I found it on CC's "Life-bits" board. I hope it is a blessing for you as well.
I've found when something I plan on doesn't work out that it turns out that God had a better idea. And had that other plan I had in mind come to fruition I would have missed out.
Maybe this apartment you've looked at that is a little over budget is so because that's not the place God wants for you.
One thing I've definitely learned is that worry doesn't change anything but my peace of mind and health. If I relax and live that precious Christian axiom, "let go and let God", not only am I at peace but God has my back. I trust that and sure enough God always comes through.
God knows you need a place to live in a month. He's not going to let you down. (hugs you) Please update us when you find your new wonderfully affordable, beautiful, peaceful, place.
Think positive.
Because negative is a lonely bad neighborhood.
