Melissa's Living Situation

Melissa, my fiancée, is in a difficult spot right now. After December tenth she will have a place to live. Currently she is living at the Teen Challenge facility where she has been working for the past year. When she turned in her resignation letter to Teen Challenge her immediate future was well planned. She and two friends had applied to take up residence at Emerald Run Apartments. Melissa and Meagan were going to be living in one of the rooms of the apartment and together were going to be splitting half of the rent. Her other friend was going to occupy the second room and pay for the other half of the rent and then cover the entire rent of the seven month lease when Melissa and Meagan planned on moving out in May, but suddenly some adverse situations arose in this other friend’s life and she will be unable to rent along with Meagan and Melissa.

So, now Melissa is in a very difficult situation. She could move back to St. Cloud to live with her mother, but she promised her employer at Southeastern College that she would be working there until at least next summer. Should she go back on her word, she will lose her good name. Also, we will be getting married in April and so if she does move back to St. Cloud she will only be there for a few months before moving back to Lakeland to be with me, making a job situation very difficult because of the short amounts of time. Melissa wrote in an email she and Meagan

are looking for either someone with an apartment that may be looking for a roommate (or two) for the next four months or for someone who may have an extra room in their home that they wouldn't mind renting out to one or two young ladies. If you know of anyone who may be able to help us out, please call (321-287-3374) or email me Mmelissamary@gmail.com). I know that God is going to open up an opportunity for us and I thank you for all your prayers and support.


It is a rather confusing situation, but if you would, please pray that she and Meagan will quickly find a place (or places) to stay that will be within their limited budgets. I am sure that God will provide.

I sent an email to Melissa. She and Megan are welcome to stay with Matt and I. We just paid the storage bill, so we can cart off some of our stuff to the storage unit and one of them can stay in the spare room and one of them can use the sofa bed. All we're asking is equal share of the grocery bill and for them to each pay $75/ month. Can you make sure that Melissa gets this message? She didn't reply to my email. Thanks! Also, Matt's birthday is today -- his birthday party is on Sunday evening, though. You and Melissa are both invited.

Talk to you soon!
