Holy moly...72 days from now i will be in a new city, stepping into a new chapter of life. um im sorry what? I remember dreaming about growing up and moving away and now-this is real. This is actually going to happen. I have two more months of "normal". Two more months of the Chapter "the last 19yrs of my life." Not saying that within these last 19yrs, life has always been the same, normal, and easy. But basically, all that i have grown up learning and figuring out will all be put on the table and i will step in big kid shoes. These 19 years have prepared me for what i am about to walk into.
I am walking into the unknown.
I will be rooming with someone for longer than a summer
I will be building new relationships
I will start calling unfamiliar buildings, coffee shops, and brick houses my new home
Hume seems like an old life i lived. Once upon a time, the only thing i knew of that is now a distant fond memory. Fresno is beginning to look the same. Not many people get to say that they grew up in a magical world up in the mountains and then settled down in such a neat big-small town. Now here i am, 19yrs later ready to take on a new world. A new culture. A new chapter. in a city.
I am so excited but at the same time, scared out of my mind.
I am at peace though. I am content. I am sitting on the edge of my seat ready to turn the page into the next moment of my life in Chicago :)
Ash, what does the Lord have for you??? It is exciting to step into the unknown...have you ever heard of Corrie Ten Boom? She said, during the Holocaust, "Never be afraid to trust and unknown future to a known God." Daddy and I marvel at the Lord's work in you...that He has given you a heart for Himself and to share with the world His glory....so grateful for you!
