New Apartment

Exciting news!!!

I have just moved into my own apartment! Well, I share it with two other girls but none the less I have my own room where I can completely unpack my stuff and not have to move again (FYI-this is the first time this year). It is also a really nice place for what we are paying. It is a two story place with the kitchen/living area downstairs and three bedrooms upstairs. I don’t have any pictures yet but I will get some soon to show now and when we actually get some furniture. It is in an apartment complex so we have a pool that everyone shares and our own little portion of the yard. My friend and I have great dreams for it once we have it furnished and are able to have friends over;)

As nice as it is now and how excited we are about it was a big step of faith for each of us. We were scared at first to step out and believe that this is where God wants us and that He will provide for everything we need for it. When the other girl and I first signed the lease, which is for a year, we were completely silent. Our friends were wondering why we weren’t more excited and celebrating. I think we were in so much shock that we were actually taking this step and there was that fear that comes when making a big decision that relies all on God and not on anything you can do. From the rent every month down to the furnishings, we are relying completely on God and the family of believers that surround us. It may sound crazy to some, I know, but I think it is the only way to live life in the end. So, even though we have nothing in the place except our bags and three beds that we borrowed we love it now. In my eyes it makes it all the more exciting to see how God furnishes the place because He is the one that has given it to us so He will provide the stuff to put in it and the money to get it!
