So last night I wrote this long blog about my day yesterday. I lost it!!!! I tried using this new program and it seemed to disappear. I feel ashamed….
Well maybe I won’t go as far as to say I am ashamed but kinda fusterated and sad….
I will try and recap what I said last night. It seems though that I can never capture the feelings and emotions and the pressure of the situtation the second time that I write it. It is kinda like when you spend hours working on a paper and forget to save it and then the power goes out. Thank God that Techonology now a days saves your work for you so that is not such a big problem anymore……imagine what it was like when the dog really DID eat your homework!?!?!
Anyway, yesterday we spent from about 10am until 6pm looking for apartments. We had one lead from Rent.com to this one place. But the only way in was through the fire escape, and it was on the fourth floor. Then when we got there it was really crappy inside….thanks rent.com…..FOR NOTHING!! Then we just drove around different areas looking and we actually found a great place in Souderton, PA. It was 2 bedrooms and spacious and the landlord I guess recently put in 30,000 on the inside. It is in “downtown” Souderton which is not booming but we really don’t have a yard or anything. But there are parks and stuff closeby.
The only thing is that we might have to pay for eletric and gas…..not ever having to rent an apartment in my life before I don’t know how much that would be a month. So I don’t know if we can take it or not.
Everything else we looked out was at least 100 dollars more than the church will pay for an apartment. So we will see what happens.
The other option would be to stay on campus at the seminary. I am not sure how I feel about that. On the one hand we will not have to move, it is affordable and it is working out well for us. On the other hand, it would be an hour commute for me!! This would not be so much of a problem if I just had to go up once nad then come home. But what if I have a meeting at night?? Would I just stay at the chruch from 8am until 10 pm??? What about SUndays? I would need to leave at 5am and then get home about 1 (maybe) and then if I have something at 7 at the church I might end up spending 4 hours in the car!!! I know I will be spending a lot of time in the church on internship but that would be crazy!!
Do any of you on internship now have advice?
Souderton is about a 20 min drive for both Katie and I which would be nice…..we shall see though….
I will make some phone calls on Monday to find out more information.
That’s all for now, I have to head off to church myself. I am assisting today, we are doing Katrina fundraising stuff. No sermon at either service. Which kinda stinks for today becuase the OT lesson is about Noah and the Flood and God’s promise….oh well…..I hope they can get some gospel from the movie we are showing!!
I will write when I come home tonight, hopefully I will have more to say….
Peace!!!
