I was honest..and I got burned

I have to admit, I get discouraged when things don't go the way I want them. I am a planner, so when something doesn't go the way I plan it, I get pissed. I want things to go the way I think is best. This can be a problem because God knows what's best, and I'm wrong alot. So, I found an apartment because my lease is up in May (and a major life change will be taking place very soon, I'm not giving it away) and I will need a bigger place that is well liked by parties other than myself. And I found the perfect place. Here's the thing about Dallas; if you want a place in the city that doesn't look like they film the shield directly on the proprety, you should be prepared to pay about 9 dollars a square foot. I lucked out, and found a place in the industrial district, a loft, 1300 sq ft built in the 1920's, with hardwood floors, big windows, and less than 2 dollars a sq foot. How great is that? I will have a full time job from the day the lease starts on. The problem was/is, I don't now, and have no paperwork that documents my immenent raise. So I didn't get it. This was the first vacancy this place had in 2 years. If I would have lied on my application about my salary, I would've been home free. But I didn't. And I'm glad I didn't. The minor tests of character we face aren't minor at all. If you can't handle the details right, then you've got no shot at handling the things that really matter correctly. So, I don't have my dream place, but I do have my integrity. Thank God for his Grace imparted to me through the atoning work of Christ, without it, I am without integrity.
