I leave for Greensboro, NC in less than five months. I almost forget this fact since I am always busy with schoolwork, but it is a reality. A reality that is fast upon me. I will pack up all my belongings and head to a state all by myself. I will leave the town I have called home the last eight years. Friends and an amazing church will be left for the road that is ahead of me. It is such a weird feeling. I know I am doing the right thing, and I have not questioned this decision once. The problem is not wanting to leave.
Waco has been the place where I have "found myself." I have grown more in the last years than I ever thought possible. Waco has been the backdrop for the best and the absolute worst times of my life. Waco is my past, my history. To leave Waco is to leave my past. I will not forget it, but I will have to move on. I will use what I have learned and it will constantly influence me, but I can no longer live there. I must move forward regardless of how scared I am.
What can I say, I love Waco.

I am so proud of your choice to branch out and follow your heart all the way to Greensboro. I have no doubt that you are growing into the woman God wants you to be, and I know part of that growth means going away.
Don't forget this...
"I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "Plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope."
God's plans for you are great, indeed.
