We had been expecting the landlord we met with this morning to call us this afternoon. However, he had some family arrive today and had begun celebrating Christmas this afternoon. He did call us around 6pm, very quickly informed us to be at this address on Monday at 11am to sign the lease and try to bring $300. He asked almost as an after thought can you Russell that up this weekend? Oh, sure! I'm feeling a little impatient, given the situation we are in why would anyone think we had any money?? Good grief! And to call so late on Christmas Eve. I know, I know everyone is busy with the Holidays! Christmas has started, people are celebrating with family and friends, dinners, desserts, parties and gatherings! I get it!
We have a number for a church that you can call on Mondays, during a 15 minute allotted time. It is like a lottery, they pick 2 calls to answer, if they answer your call they will help you. Looks like we will be getting up early to give it a try! We also have to pack up the room in the morning. Whether it be to the house, and that is what I am praying, or to a shelter. The thing about the shelter is, that we still have not received our marriage license! And without it we can not stay at the shelter!! Looks like Monday is looking busy!
This evening we went back to the Baptist church we attended a couple Sunday's ago. It was a lovely service! Lots of Carols,lighting of the advent and a children's special event. This Christmas is very bitter sweet. We may have a home, yet it is still far away! As are all our friends and family! It is not like any Christmas we have ever celebrated! We are trying to keep the spirit of Christmas in our hearts and to be joyful in what we do have! But, I think we are all just a little blue this Christmas Eve! Praise the Lord for this house, now we have to keep the faith that he will provide the way for it to happen!
I know that is not the most joyful Christmas thought, I suspect that if I check the stats for my blog the next few days that they will be low! Who wants to drag their Christmas down?
I hope everyone knows we truly wish everyone a Merry Christmas! Hope that your day will be joyful and one of the best Christmas's ever!
