The New Apartment

        I am thankful for my new apartment. I am writing this on my phone so that is why it is so small. I love it so much! It might be a little iffy at night and on the outside but that does not bother me. It is bigger then my last one but not where I really want it to be. I will live with it though. I cannot complain about it. Like every thing else in life, picking and moving apartments has its ups and downs in each one.
         The kitchen and bathroom are a lot bigger. The bedroom is about the same or a little bit smaller. That is where I would like a little bit more room. The bedroom closet is a little bigger too so again I cannot complain. There is a little bit less cabinet space and bar space but then again I have three storage closets to put my things in so that is good too. The clothes room is twice the size that the one at my other apartment was and this one has double doors to close it in where the other one I had to use a shower curtain to cover it up.
         I love the location it is in though. I think that is my favorite thing about it. It is by a lot of houses and neighborhoods but it is also fenced off. It also has a few trees around the places especially the side I am on. It is one of the buildings when you come straight in to the apartment complex. It is also right across from the mailboxes, which is always a plus. To me, it is like living in the country or closer to it because there is less traffic noise and it is smaller.
         It is also really dark and pretty at night like it is in the country. I call it a small town (Centerton) because compared to Bentonville it is. There was also and still is a lot of rust around the apartment but for what I am paying I can live with it. I am not all the way unpack yet and I don't know if I will get to be. I think I have more odds and ends then can fit in the new place. It is close enough to where I can get together with friends and family but then stay away by myself when I need to and just enjoy my alone time. I can also still be involved with Bentonville things but at the same time have that alone time. 

         It is also a quite place most of the time even though I have little dogs and children living above me. I hear the dogs more then I hear the children. It is just that feel of awayness that I have always wanted. I think my other apartment was just too in the center of Bentonville with Wal mart employees living there and for it being by the square and the parks. Don't get me wrong I loved it but at times it could get annoying like during the spring and summer months. 

         I could not ask for a better place to live right now. It is away from everything and that is what I need right now in life. God has just blessed me with this spot to live right now. I need time for God and me. He is renewing my mind, right now, in amazing ways. I have been praying about a new place for about 2 or 3 years maybe and I finally got it. I finally got up the strength to look and pack so I could move. I finally found the right place to where I felt comfortable doing that. 

         Sometime God does take, what seems to us, like forever even in the smallest things like moving but we don't get that sometime. I think through all of this waiting for a new job that I like and moving to a new place, I think God is trying to show me something while teaching me. It is okay to wait what might seem like forever because it will be just the way you want it or even better because God knows what He is doing. These two things might seem minor to other things that I have been waiting for in my life but it is a good life lesson and something to think about.
