All I can say is that I'm absolutely grateful to have so many good things in life that they make leaving a monotonous town like Lake Villa very difficult.
I also need to say that having a Monday "official goodbye" has made these last two days even harder. I've been busy: packing, running last minute errands, being on the phone 24/7 with Belmont trying to fix my registration. And as important as all of those things are, I am selfishly wanting someone else to do it all - I mean, it's keeping me from my friends (who are still home, but just as busy as I).
It's been such a bittersweet week. On one hand, I'm insanely excited. On the other hand I'm very sad to leave all the people I love and have to start from scratch. On yet another hand I am nervous about having to handle my own life. I sometimes fail at that. But than I remember. Ah! Yes! I have someone else on my side.
"I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11.
A bit cliche, it's true. But also very comforting. I can go in full confidence, and that makes me feel infinitely better.
