It sounds like you've come so far! That's amazing!

I hope you find an amazing living situation that will help you to continue to grow and blossom in the Lord. Also, renting might not sound like you are getting "ahead", but remember that what looks like "ahead" to the Lord often looks opposite from the world. And that making a financial commitment to ownership and chasing after credit scores can turn out to be a trap...where you spend so much time working to pay for the loans. I highly recommend living debt free!

I wish you the best, and I'll be praying for you!!
