Living On Faith.

In one day I will begin my very last semester of undergraduate school. It's odd, I've been thinking about the future so much lately; filling out apps for what we will call 'pre-masters programs' for the lack of time and I'm assuming your interest in explaining what I will really be doing. And suddenly I'm realizing how soon that is all coming up. I've been in the same place for the past 4 1/2 years of my life...and soon I will be off in a completely different place. I'm not sure where that will be...currently the 'choices' are California, Colorado, Florida, Massachusetts and Montana. Yes, you read that correctly. Texas is not in the mix. 

I've never had a problem jumping into a new environment and making friends...I'm a pretty fun person. However, the idea is still scary. I know I can do it, I've done it so many times in the past. It's just the idea that sends me into semi-panic attacks every now and again. 

I've made a wonderful life here in Huntsville that I love...but on nights when it's just me, no plans, no friends around...I start to think that this will be my every day life once I'm off in a new place. But then I tell myself, "Julia, you are a friendly person, you make friends easily." So in reality, I won't be sitting in my apartment, alone, for the rest of my life. (fingers crossed)

I guess I'm just having a 'I'm terrified' moment about growing up and leaving everyone I know to start over in a matter of 6 months. I say that, but I won't be leaving really. That is the great thing about this technology-based world we live in. I can be a thousand miles away and still be able to celebrate the highs with friends, and be there for the lows.

So to wrap this all up, yay for internet, cell phones, video chatting and face-time. No nays, because I know where ever I end up, that is where I am supposed to be. God has placed me there for reasons only he knows. 

"Living on faith" is my motto as I creep closer and closer to this life crossroad. 

If I Could Sing I'd Do A Cover Of This

Why: This song has been sung to me by my mom for the past 22 years and it still rings true .  "You've got to get up every morning with a smile on your face and show the world all the love in your heart." A great thing to remember when embarking on a new journey in life. Thanks Louise!
