God's answer was immediate!

I had to put in a complaint to our landlords about our heating and insulation problem. We don't go above 65 dgrees in our apartment, and we're still paying a TON for our gas bill. It's getting out of hand! I mean, we turn the heat down to 60 at night and also while we're gone to work all day, and then only move it up to 65 between 7am to 8am, and then again from 5pm to 10pm. Why are we paying so much? Because we lose so much heat due to our poor insulation and drafty windows. So, because of this problem, we have a portable heater in Sophie's room to keep her warm at night. But this has made our electric bill higher than we've ever seen!

So, I was praying about this yesterday. I mean, really pouring my heart out about what we're supposed to do. And this is what God decided to do the next day:

I got a call from my landlord, and this is what he said:

"In the next few days, we're going to be going up in the attic, we'll be throwing down insulation and getting that all sealed up. We're going to rip up your floor boards, so we can put insulation down (in our apartment). I'm going to go out today and look for storm windows to install. And we're going to pay half of your gas bill. We're just sorry, we meant to work on that, but time got away from us, and we just feel bad. SO, we'll be working on that this week."

God is good. He answers prayer!! And, the fact that they'll be paying half our bill is absolutely shocking to me! God went over the top! Because He loves us. :) Apparently our landlords love us too. :)


THANKS TO GOD for answering prayer! :)
