Moving to a New Flat

The last couple of weeks I have been sleeping on the couch since everyone arrived back for Uni. I absolutely love my flat and my flatmates but I knew that I would eventually have to find another place so that I could actually unpack my clothes and stuff. Some friends from church invited me to come live in their flat last week, it sounded like a great opportunity as it would put me close to a lot of people from church but it was further away from work, church, Uni and the Octogan than I wanted to be. Yesterday I started looking for flats on Trademe (NZ version of Ebay) and responded to three adds because I knew I had to find a place fast. That night I got a text from one of the people I responded to and he asked me when would be a good time for me to check out the house. I told him I would check it out tomorrow around 11am but after he text me directions I realized the flat was just down the street. My flatmate Paul and I jumped on some bikes and went over to the house to check it out. Simon, the person who placed the add welcomed us and gave us a quick tour and introduced me to his flatmates. The room was fairly small but it had everything I needed such as a closet, desk and a bed that Simon said he would sell me for $100 bucks. I told him that I really liked it but that I still wanted to check out some more houses before I made my decision. This morning I started searching Trademe to find out which add it was that Simon had posted because I didn't remember seeing pictures of the house that I had went to the night before. Typically I only check the adds that have pictures but when I was on Trademe yesterday I found myself searching adds that didn't have any pictures. One of the adds I looked at said they were looking to find someone willing to join five Christian students in their flat. The add didn't have any pictures and I wasn't sure where the flat was located but it was one of the three adds I ended up responding to. So today I was looking for Simon's add and stumbled on the Christian student one again. When I looked at the bottom of the page to see the contact person it said Simon Seal. I didn't believe it! Really, I didn't think that this was the same Simon because that would just be too amazing. After I got out of the Uni library I text the Simon I had met with the night before and asked him what his Trademe name was. Simon text me back, "I think it might be Simon Seal", my jaw dropped. I was praying yesterday that God would help me find a new flat that is very close to where I am living now and that I would have some cool flatmates to live with. Wow, God is so good and he answers prayer in the most amazing ways. I told Simon that I was not evan going to look at any other houses, like I had mentioned, but that my search had ended and I was more than keen on moving in. I went over to Simon's flat again today at 11am and had a great time sharing with him and some of his flatmates that they had been an answer to prayer. Simon responded that I was an answer to his prayer in trying to find a good flatmate to replace him.
