Bitachon stories inspired by the “A Life with Bitachon” hotline.
As you may know, it is extremely difficult to find an apt to rent in Lakewood near Bais Medrash Gevoah for an affordable price. Therefore after getting married we moved into a small temporary apt. We tried everything possible to find an apt, calling managements and looking into different options. Nothing was working out for the right price and location. This continued for many months. We had bitachon that we would find a suitable apt even though it seemed impossible. We were on a specific waiting list that would hopefully have the right apt, which we were relying on. Finally, we were told something opened up and we went to check it out. It was fine, except for one detail which would not work for us. We turned it down thinking it was our last chance. We continued to have bitachon. That very same day we were offered another apt that was much bigger, the location was better, the price was right and it had many other maalos over the one we turned down! Turns out that the people who were offered our apt preferred the first apt that we saw and therefore we were able to swap!! (Reader of The Spring Hill Times)
