Turning the 1st Page
I'm so excited to introduce my new blog to whoever is reading this. I'm not really sure how to start.... So I guess I'll just jump right in!! So here we go....
This month has been so wonderful, scary, exciting, nerve-racking, awesome, difficult and all around an emotional roller coaster!! But I'm SO thankful, because I can see God's hand so clearly in all of this. It's awesome to not only be a part of His great plan, but to also be a witness of everything He has been doing around me. In a lot of ways... my life has been building up to this moment... this time in my life..... this new chapter. And I'm ready to turn the first page. I have been fighting it for awhile.... I feel like it's all moving so fast. As if, time is the rope tied around my waist pulling me through life as I've got my heels in the ground. But I've tried to give up that fight.... and instead allow my Author, to take the pen and begin writing my new adventure.
There's been so much going on this month.... but I will have to keep it brief. My family and I have taken a trip to New York, then to Florida to visit some of our family and friends. We wanted to take one more family vacation before my brother Logan and I went off to Calvary Chapel Bible College (CCBC). It's been an amazing trip so far!.... I'm actually sitting here in the house we are staying in at Marco Island writing this after a nice day on the beach!! It's been a wonderful trip!! It's been such a relief to relax and clear my head a bit......
There's been a lot on my mind lately, school, my future, family, ect..... One of the main things on my mind is having to say goodbye and head off to college. I'm very excited about going to CCBC, but also very nervous! It's all new territory for me.... I'm about to take a couple steps out of my comfort zone! Yet..... it's such a good thing! Because it's only when God takes you out of your comfort zone that He can grow you and teach you! It's that place He takes you so you don't have anything else to lean on except HIM!! Stripping everything away you hold dear.... all your normalities..... your regular routine, so the only thing you are familiar with is HIM. He is jealous for your attention. He wants us to pursue after Him with everything that we are and give everything up...... just as He gave everything for us!! These are the things He has been showing me in my daily life... and I know it's what He is about to do to me.
I will close with this, as I have already mentioned, there has been many things on my mind.... and many distractions around me. Many things I have been worried and concerned about. Yet I feel the Lord has spoken to me and said I've been focusing on the wrong things. He told me when I start focusing on the right things, (HIM!! And HIS plan for me) then all the rest I've been stressed about will fall into place. I don't have to try to figure it all out. For HE has got it all written out for me!! And all I have to do....... Is turn the 1st page.
