My moving story
A month ago I was very perplexed because I didn’t have a place to stay. Despite the fact that my landlord Sharon asked me to move out because sh e was afraid that my puppy would mess up her house; I was also confident that God has a plan for my family and my dog.
I remembered when I moved into sharon’s house in Grand Terrace last March, we were conversating and my daughter asked her: “is it ok to have a dog in the house? She replied very vividly preferably not. Well my family had their own interpretation of what she meant. I can recall my husband arguing with me saying well she did not really say no we cannot have a dog and beside our dog is a puppy anyway.
My family decided to get a beautiful female Saint Bernard mixed puppy. Sharon was frustrated when she saw the dog and I could tell from the look on her eyes that she wasn’t happy. As a result, she wrote us a letter and asked us to move out. She told us un the letter that she sold the house however, we all knew she was lying. So we went on a journey hunting for a house. We finally found an apartment. We have completed all the paper work, we put down a deposit and turned in the application. The next day the property management called us to let us know that we were approved. When we asked her about pet, she answered unfortunately no pets are allowed in the property. Since we were desperate for a place to stay, we say that we were going to take the apartment anyway and we concluded that we were going to have my mother-in law holding the dog for us. After a couple of days our hearts were heavy, and we were weeping because we all became very attached to the dog. We decided not to move into the the apartment but instead to continue to look for a place where our dog can be welcomed. My sister had offered for us to stay over her house while we continue to look for a place. We went to fill out an application for housing at La sierra University and a week later we found an apartment where again we were told that pets are not allowed. We told the lady that we would prefer a house instead and we would be very happy if she help us to find one. She had put our name on a waiting list and told us that she would let us know. We had hope that God was going to do something for us, and we were certain that we were going to get a house. A week later I went to Tracy’s office to find out about the process, I was very thrilled when she told me the house was ready and we could move in as soon as possible.
I thank God that I have a place to stay with my dog now who is very comfortable enjoying a big back yard.
