less than 6 weeks...

Until the day of my college graduation. The life I have known for about 22 years now... everything will change- again.

Funny thing is, change is not bad, I love it when things change and grow, because usually change turns out better in the end. Granted I've not always enjoyed the process, change is not fun to endure. Even more, this change is big, bigger than any other change I've experienced thus far in my short life. All that which was safe and secure will not be the same, and most of it will be no longer there. I will soon travel yet again to a new place, but in a different light than my last traveling experience. When I went to Northern Ireland, I had a small idea of what to expect, I knew that there would be people there to take care of me if I needed (which I did... haha)... to help me get my barrings and to learn the lay of the land. It was a brilliant experience, and I did learn to do many things for myself. When I go out to Oregon, however, it will be completely different. As far as I know, there will not be anyone out there to help me find the lay of the land. No one to help me figure something out if I get confused or lost. This is not necessarily bad, of course; for I know that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me... but these unknowns leave me with some fears, some worries.

However, despite all these things- I am an not afraid, or worried, but rather I am excited to see where God takes me, this is indeed the "new adventure" that the woman on my plane ride home must have been talking about. :)
