time to go


“We get one story, you and I, and one story alone. God has established the elements, the setting and the climax and the resolution. It would be a crime not to venture out, wouldn't it? It might be time for you to GO. It might be time to CHANGE
Donald Miller

Since April I have known I was coming. I was coming to a place unlike anywhere I had been before. A world outside my oxford bubble. Life for the past four years has been safe. And even in the most unpredictable times of my college career I always had the comfort that consistency brings. Things now are different and I find rest in the words of Donald Miller. It is time for me to go and it is time for me to change 



I write my first blog post in my new one bedroom apartment. A world far from Martin, Campus creek, the yellow box, and world a million miles away from the Chi O house. But in my new home on west prairie street in Denton,TX I have been able to find elements of Oxford. UNT is in Rush and right now I can see them door stack from outside my window. The town is built around an adorable square that has activity at all hours. And the heat here reaches extreme temperatures just as it does in Mississippi




So Although I am in a world far from oxford, the grove, holli's sweet tooth, the library, my sweet friends, and the place I will always be proud to boast as my second home I know I am not the only one changing. This week some people have started graduate school, others law school, some are starting their second year to becoming a nurse or a pharmacist, some are starting jobs, some are planning weddings, some are just trying to make plans, and one very sweet one is learning for the first time how to be a wife. 


Each of our tracks are different. And from now on they always will be. But each of us are seeking to become the people we were created to be. And I look forward to seeing how God shapes each one of us.

But Until Then,
Amy

  1. yay!! i love that you started a blog! this is a crazy time, i remember feeling so lost when all my friends from college scattered, and y'all wondered what i meant when i kept telling the worst thing about "growing up" last year was that everyone wouldn't be the same anymore! it's fun too. in the words of Kate Carter to me last year, "do you hate the real world?" well, i promise....it's not too bad! Best of luck to you in Texas!! I know you'll be making a million friends and having a blast in no time!
