Well, ain&#8217;t nobody tryna hear that!<\/p>\n<p>Every.single.place I called wanted pay stubs or an offer letter showing an amount that&#8217;s up to three times more than the rent. No one wants cash and cash <em>upfront<\/em>? What has this world become?!<\/p>\n<p>Anyhow, on Friday, 11 June, I saw a place and although I&#8217;d been rejected twenty-nine times already, I asked all the same questions and they approved me with <em>no<\/em> co-signer, <em>no<\/em> job and <em>no<\/em> offer letter!<\/p>\n<p>They just wanted proof that I have money in the bank!<\/p>\n<p>I was approved the next day and told that move-in would be 15 June.<\/p>\n<p>I said, Yeshu, You already know that I have to be out of this house on the 14th, so I ain&#8217;t tryna pay storage&#8230;I called the complex again on the morning of the 14th and they said, you know what, come on through at five this evening and we&#8217;ll give you the keys!<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/media1.giphy.com\/media\/26BREWCvD66KImhc4\/giphy.gif?w=1140&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Dj Khaled I Got The Keys GIF\" \/><\/p>\n<p>IF you are being Led (being still and hearing the Voice of The Divine in your heart), may I ask that you continue to be still and move forward only as you are Led?
