Answered Prayers: Meet Dani!

When Rachel and I found out that Maddie was planning on moving out and living elsewhere next semester, we both knew that there was no way that our apartment complex would let us stay in a 4-bedroom apartment by ourselves - they would assign another pair of roommates to move into our apartment. Last night when Rach and I were talking, we both decided we needed to pray about the situation and ask our Father to show us the woman we should live with next semester.

So often God's timing does not line up with ours, so it seems like forever passes before we receive an answer from God. And as rewarding as those experiences are, isn't it neat whenever we receive an answer immediately?

Tonight after practice, I get a text from Dani. Dani plays water polo with me and has had classes with Rachel. She often hangs out with Myriam, Jen and I when we all do something together. She has a passion for Jesus, an enthusiasm for summer camp, and is a lover of people.

Here's the conversation that went down:

Dani: Are you by chance looking for a roommate for next year?
Me: YES! Rachel and I are staying in our apartment but Maddie is leaving so we need a third!
Dani: OMG can I live with you?
Me: We would love that!

Y'all. How good is our Father that He takes the stress and off of our shoulders of finding another roommate, and provides us with Dani? I guess you could say we are all quite a bit excited!
