Hi everyone.. Bless you all!


My wife and I both lost our jobs a number of years ago and went through a BIG mess. We lost our house (we had to sell it for a few thousand and rent an apartment).

We've been in an apartment complex in our city for several years. It's HUGE. It should have it's own zip code. The management is nice and they really do try to keep things in order but it's not very pleasant. There's been a number of shootings, burglaries, lots of drugs of course, and I myself have seen witchcraft symbols etched into sidewalks and painted on the pavement. Now, this city we live in is near Seattle and the city is nice! It's just that the complex is way too big to manage.

When summer comes we get really stressed and can't sleep because of all the noise and partying. We have two teenage boys and they don't like it either.

We don't have any money for a down payment on a house right now, but we sure wouldn't mind continuing to rent if only we could be in a house in a safe neighborhood! I really don't want to have a greedy, selfish heart like "God give me this, give me that." But we would just love to have the peace and quiet of not having our neighbors on the other side of our living room wall!

We want what God wants first of all, but we are praying and we hope others will too, that even if we can't buy a house maybe he can lead us to a nice rental home that He thinks is best for us. I can't imagine it's out of God's will to pray for a safer, quieter and less stressful place to live? Being in an apartment drives us nuts.

Please pray for God's will in this situation and if it is his will, that he will lead us to a nice rental home.

Thank you!
