Many have asked me where I'll be living when I move up to Vancouver. Unfortunately, Regent College does not provide housing; it's too small of an institution. Students usually rent basement suites. Basement suites are basically self-contained apartments in homeowners' basements. That sounds exciting to me because nobody in Los Angeles has a basement, but it also means that I'll get little to no sunlight.
After much searching by my relatives and friends, I might have a good lead. It's too difficult to get into all the nitty-gritty details, but I ask for your prayers on this matter. Although my cousin Ken reassures me that it should be no problem for me to find a place even after I arrive in Vancouver, the planner side of me hopes that things will be settled before I even get there. Of course, I need to learn to also be okay with uncertainty. (Ken has also graciously offered for me to stay at his house until I find a more permanent place, but I don't want to wear out my welcome.)
On a more tangible note, if any of you know people living in west Vancouver within 2 miles of UBC and Regent College, please ask if they might have a basement suite for rent. Thanks!
May God grant me patience and faith on this matter. Even if I'm physically "homeless," may I always find spiritual shelter in my Father's arms.
