change hurts

i am experiencing many growing pains.

this week i moved out of the yellow house... the lovely home belonging to the Meiners, that has been my home for the past year.

Whenever big changes occur, I start to feel very blue. It happened when I graduated, it happened when I got engaged, and now it's happening again.

Last night, a flood of sentimental feelings accompanied the memories as I put things in boxes and bags (mostly I just put things in trash bags cause that's easier). It is during these times that I need my friends so badly. Amidst change my head feels tired with remembrance, sometimes regret, grief of time that is past and over, and the somber face of an unknown future.

For now, living in the unknown is one of my callings. Fortunately I know that I'm called to become a great wife for Stephen, who I love and adore. But that cannot be the end. As for my individual personhood, I am mostly at a loss, but thankful that I have a God who I can pray to and thankful that I can happily surrender the want, the fear, the question, and the struggle to Him.
