My new apartment

Dear all,

It is almost a week since coming back to Bloomington. With the help of a few strong guys and ladies, all of my belongings are in my new apartment safely, and I'm trying to settle in completely as I'm writing this entry.

I really like my new apartment: the amount of sunlight it gets, the living room, the dining room, the bathroom, my room, and my closet space. I'm not so sure about the kitchen yet, but I'm sure it'll turn out great once I organize and clean it.

I felt so blessed this morning when I woke up. I just sat on my bed and took my time to look around my yet-to-be-organized room. What an amazing space I've got to have to live in! I got out of my bed and went to the bathroom for my morning routine, and I was once again amazed by just exactly how blessed I am to actually own everything that's in it-- the soap pump, the hand cloth, the bath rug, and the beautiful tower to put all the bottles in. Everything seemed ordinary, but to me everything is more than extraordinary.

I was able to save at least $500 by receiving many free furniture and appliances this past Saturday from both my church and another church in town called Sherwood Oaks. I was able to get a nice and firm bed, a beautiful and useful study table, a sturdy dining table, an almost new microwave, and a high- quality toaster. All free and delivered to my place. Praise the Lord! I can’t believe that all of these happened only because of the love from my brothers and sisters, and the grace of the highest King. I wonder sometimes why God loves me so much that He spends time looking after me so dearly.

It is lunch time. I shall eat some before losing weight and get back to organizing…

Love,
Anna
