Movin' On

So I was listening to the song “Movin’ On” by Needtobreathe and it reminded me of last night…

For those of you who weren’t there (which would be few, since everyone who reads my blog goes), last night was our final “official” time in youth group. Triple J made us cry with videos and memories, but it was still an amazing night. Just to see how far each of us have come and now to the point that were all leaving for college is incredible. I’m so proud of all of us, and I cannot wait to see how God uses us while we are away (or here) at college.

Some of us are going far away (Tori, Jessica and I) and some are going close (Alex, Kaydee, and Alyson), but no matter where we are this next week is bringing HUGE changes in our lives. We are finally realizing what it means to grow up, move out, and take on responsibilities. Kinda scary, or at least for me. I feel that I’m leaving everything behind and starting a whole new life, (which I guess I am), and I don’t know if I’m ready for that. I don’t want to leave my family, my friends, or my boyfriend. I don’t want to leave my church. But see, the key phrase there is I don’t want. God will help me adjust to the changes, and I just have to rely on Him when things are tough, and be confident that He will comfort me.

I officially leave Thursday night, and go to orientation allllll day Friday (Alex’s birthday) [SORRY! I LOVE YOU!] Then school starts on Monday. Blah. But I know this is the time to remember, and that it will be fun.
