The Lord always knows

Something happened this wee that reaffirmed that the Lord knows everything we are going through. Hopefully I have all the details straight. Melissa and her roommate Michelle have been trying to find a roommate for next year with no luck. As time goes on, it gets more and more scary because soon most people will have their living arrangements made for next year and they really need a third roommate to make the apartment affordable. But she told me they have both been praying about it and knew that it would be OK. I started praying for their success too, because I really don’t want to have to cover the extra rent next year. Anyway, yesterday at church a girl who is transferring from BYU was asking around to see if anyone was looking for a roommate. She was directed to Michelle, and they set up an appointment for her and her mom to come look at the apartment. So Sunday night she and her mom were telling her aunt who lives in Austin about the apartment, and that there is a senior who is a dance major living in it. Her aunt asked her if the girl's name was Melissa and they said yes. Turns out her aunt is Elena Robinson. What are the odds on that? So these two groups hook up--one who are worried about where to have their daughter live and the other who are worried about filling the empty slot--and it turns out that there is a strong, unknown connection between the two groups. It had to be more than just a coincidence! The meeting went really well, but she hasn't signed the lease yet--so who knows if it will actually work out. But it was just a nice confirmation to both sides that the Lord is watching over them and everything will be alright.
