I feel like I've been putting off writing my first post in here, I've never blogged before, I've never opened up to the whole world. It's a little strange, and new, both feelings I've been feeling all week.
This week is a whole new life for me. I'm going away to school, and I'll be living 4 hours away from the best friend I've ever had and an incredible boyfriend. That in it's self is hard, but add onto the fact that my dad is taking a job 1,000 miles away from home, before I even come home for Thanksgiving break.
I'm scared, excited, sad, and beyond with joy about going to such an amazing school, with people I've never met but can already tell they're going to be amazing, faith stricken people. I can't help but pray when feeling like this, waiting for something to show me what's going on. Praying and waiting, waiting and praying.
Here's a little something about me, I love John Mayer, and the John Mayer Pandora station is my favorite. While sitting here thinking of what to write about for my first blog ever, the song "Vultures" came on, one of my favorites, this time lyrics sticking out to me more than usual.
But I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes
To take me even higher
Then I'll come through
Like I do
When the world keeps
Testing me, testing me, testing me.
This week is testing my faith in God, knowing he trusts me to keep my relationships here, no matter what distance, and no matter what new friendships I make.
It may be my last few days in a house where so many great memories happens, that's in a town where even more happened. It may be my last goodbye to some of the people I was friends with in high school. It may make a relationship hard. I'm ready. I'm ready to just follow my faith, and what ever God has in store for me, I just hope I'm ready.
We live by faith, not by sight. 2 Cor. 5:7
So, here I'm sitting now, ready to start my very new life, in two very different places, with God right by side, just testing me a bit.
That's all for today folks,

I know how you feel. I think Gordon's gonna be a good thing for us both. And as for being far from the people we love, I somehow know that they won't really be that far, you know? And I'm stoked you mentioned John Mayer because vultures is a personal fav. I'm feeling a little "stop this train" right now though. But, I'm sure I'll get past that and like I said, it'll all be rad once we settle in. :)
