getting started

i guess you could say i am starting this blog to keep people updated on my life while i'm in mexico (just three short days away- eeep!). i suppose it is time i graduate from tumblr and twitter and instagram and actually create a home to write out my feelings. so.. this is that home!  i was also inspired by a woman who went to La Viña several years ago, and who's blog i found tonight, leading me to pour over some of the old entries during her time at La Viña. i'm not sure if it was a good or bad idea to read them, haha, simply because i now am beginning to cognitively realize what i'm in for.

change has been something i have craved for a long time, because i grow sick of being fascinated by other people's crazy stories, but never having many of my own. i have grown sick of being complacent. sick of hardly scratching the surface. it is a comfortable world i live in no doubt, and that is the precise reason why it is so difficult to leave it behind. being stretched terrifies me because i haven't allowed myself to be stretched in a long while. not mentally, not physically, and not spiritually.
 "i crave change, but i fear change" best describes this state of limbo i am wallowing in right now. anyways. cheers to the future, and what Christ is going to do in me.
