The Legalities Begin

After meeting with Tenancy Advocate yesterday, my son and his fellow tenants had a group meeting this evening so he could report to the rest of them the information he received from TA.  Tomorrow they will meet as a group with TA again and a representative from TA will attempt to find them a lawyer who is willing to work pro bono.  

And so the rather desperate and likely fruitless attempt to recoup their lost rents and damage deposits begins.  At twenty-four hundred dollars my son has actually lost the least amount of money.  He has only been in the building just over a month.  However, if he doesn't recoup it, particularly since he did not get the job that was more or less promised to him at his interview 2 weeks ago, it is going to be quite a problem for him.

So, he is trusting God to help him.  His financial life certainly has mirrored that of his parents over the years. hahahaha  Thus, he does know how to pray and how to trust and how to get over the fear and depression that inevitably attacks people when they find themselves in these sorts of situations.

The process of "pavement pounding" to find full time work begins in earnest this weekend.  After his smooth landing down south things have "GONE south" rather quickly, so his committment to the direction he felt led to take is certainly being tested...as it usually is for most of us when God calls us to new places and circumstances.

He has asked me to give a special, heartfelt thank you to those of you who contacted me after my first post about his problem, and told me you would be praying for him.  Knowing what big problems of your own some of you are facing in your own lives, your desire to pray for him means the world to him. (and to his dad and I)  Thank you, thank you, thank you.
