So, today was the day. I have officially moved into my college dorm. The day was different than I had expected, in more ways than one. First of all, it took longer than i thought. of course. lol. and I have realized that I have a plethera of clothes. But the most important thing i realized was that i don't need to be afraid. For the past 3 weeks I have been crying over this move....and I realized yesterday that it was because I was afraid, afraid of losing friends. I knew my family would always be there, i knew it would be hard leaving, but i knew it would be okay. With my friends, though I know they love me forever, I knew that we could grow apart, and, in truth, we still can. But God woke me up. He finally made me realize that I am leaving because that is His will for ME. He is in control and this is where I am supposed to be....without my friends and family. I praise God for waking me up and giving me PEACE. It is beautiful the way God works. I realized that I have been hypocritical. During senior year, I tried hard to not be anxious about graduation because i knew that, until that time came, it was God's will for me to be in high school. Now I must realize that it is God's time for me to be in college. And I am so greatful for that!
God has blessed me with a wonderful family who ALL came up with me today to help me move in and showed marvelous patience through all the trips to Bed, Bath, and Beyond and the countless times we reorganized my closet. With that said, I love you guys. A whole lot. And I plan to miss you. A lot. :)
Also, God has blessed me with a wonderful roommate! She is sweet and we get along great..at least so far. But I have faith that I will get a best friend out of this - my Dad and I prayed for her to be. "Ask and it will be given to you"
and finally, God has blessed me with amazing friends who sacrificed this week to spend time with me and to help me get ready to move. Y'all have been wonderful and I love you dearly.
So, now it is time to go back to the room, shower, maybe snack on something, and read (yes, I still have summer reading to do :)).
God bless you with His grace that it may be made known to you.
Night. :)

I'm so excited for you!! You are going to do awesome in college! I love you so much and will be praying for you! Keep me updated :)
Yay! This is wonderful and I can't believe that it's finally here! I'll miss you dearly, but I have found that you can never really lose a true friend :)
I love you so much, and along with Loren will be praying for you to have wisdom and influence where you are. I can't wait to hear about your first semester!
