First impressions of college....

I really love college. It's so unbelievably different! Everything has took a turn for the better. I have amazing friends, I feel loved, we have good clean fun (haha), and I'm growing closer to God. I'm laughing more often and harder than I have in a very long time. All the insecurities I took with me and walls I built from high school are being stripped down one by one.

It's the greatest feeling. :)

I do miss my family. I wish I could call them and tell them all the hilarious stuff that happens, but I know I'll visit soon. I realize I've taken a lot of things for granted. A house, a home cooked meal, a family, money.

I'm really excited about what lies ahead. Classes start tomorrow. TOMORROW. I'm actually kinda looking forward to it... And really nervous. But it'll be okay.

I'm ready.

What everyone's talking about these days....


Photo taken by me.

Something about it makes me feel strange. Maybe because everyone seems to be counting down.

End of summer. Beginning of college.

Change.

It’s so close it’s almost tangible. Things are normal for now, but they won’t be for long. Change is just right around the corner.

And it’ll make you or break you.

I’ve been thinking:

Won’t this be the last time I actually live full time at this house with my family? Of course I’ll visit, but I heard that

sooner or later, home won’t feel like home anymore.

Going home” turns into “visiting family”.

New friends. New experiences. A career. A husband (hopefully that’ll happen later than sooner).

A future

I’m excited about what lies ahead. I’m ready to put behind my past fully. I’m ready for change.

10 days :)

But remember:

”Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails."

Proverbs 19:21

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."

Romans 8:28

Moving on.

Since the Blogger world is dying, I decided to get a Tumblr. Blogger is definitely better, but Tumblr has people who respond..... No offense.. Anyway, I'll still post on here.
My new blog is called
Whispers.
I feel like a traitor, but it looks like
it's time to move on.
