The End Of The Beginning

Life has a way of sneaking up on you.

One minute you're a little kid running around the playground without a care in the world.
Then, you're a middle schooler who has just discovered black eye liner.
But then suddenly, you become an adult and you're wrapping up four years of high school.

And you realize that in the blink of an eye, you're not a kid anymore, and you're heading out into the real world to try and make it on your own.


You're torn.

You want to be happy because of everything you accomplished to get you across the graduation stage.
But, you're also sad, because you feel as though you didn't get a chance to do everything you wanted and you want a second chance, a do over.


But hear me when I say this:
It isn't the end, it's only the beginning.

You will have more chances to do what you wanted with who you wanted.

You'll have an entire lifetime to love on whomever you want, and there will come a time when it an be whenever you please.

You are young and beautiful.

You have an entire world at your finger tips.
Go out there and experience as much as you can.


High school isn't meant to last forever.
But, that doesn't mean the memories don't have to.


Don't feel as though you will be lost once high school ends.
It's just the beginning a full and happy life, one that is completely yours and totally untouched.
But you can never experience it if you're stuck trying to replay the past.
If God shuts a door and chapter in your life, trust in him and leave it be.

And you will stumble and lose your way from time to time.
But hold tight to God and allow him to steer you in the right path, and you'll forever be blessed.




"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans for you to prosper and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

~Jeremiah 29:11~

Homesick

Home has always been the place where you feel you most belong and are accepted. Home can be so many different things to so many different people. But the thing I've come to learn, is that home isn't always a place. Home can be a thing you love, a certain scent or feeling, or a person you can't live without. I've become homesick for a place I'm not even sure exists even more, a place where I'm at peace and loved by him without a worry in the world. My home became him. And I worry that I will never completely be at home again, because my heart is constantly elsewhere. But, maybe that's the price you pay for allowing someone in. Then, all of a sudden you're in a place you're supposed to enjoy and fall in love with, but all you can think about is being home and how you're not there. You became my home because I left my heart with you while I was gone, knowing you would still be there with it when I got back. I miss you. I mi...

Lessons Learned

18 years. 216 months. 936 weeks. 6750 days. 157680 hours. 9460800 minutes. 567648000 seconds. Life has a funny way of getting away from you really quickly. One minute you're 5 running around a farm chasing barn cats and feeding the goats, and the next minute you're crying over boys and getting ready to pack up everything and move away to college. But the thing I've come to realize is that life didn't change, you  changed. You might fall down, but you need to learn how to stand back up, brush it off, and never let the same thing knock you over twice. 1. People are temporary; So are feelings. It's a part of life. One of the hardest things I've had to learn how to deal with is how to say goodbye to people I didn't want to let go of, and hello to people I was skeptical about letting in. I didn't want to say goodbye because I was happy and content, and even if I wasn't all the time, it's still what I was used to, a...
