Since I was a little girl, I craved adventure. I always wanted to be able to travel the world, meet new people, and come back with stories to tell. Now that I'm twenty-one and have been able to see some of the most amazing places, I can't help but desire more. I want to travel, I'm so close to graduating and finally being free. I know I need to start looking for a full-tme job, but I can't see myself stuck in one place for long. The older I get the more my Wanderlust grows.
I've heard it said that The world is a book, and those who don't travel are only on the first page. It is so crazy to think there is still so much world out there that I havent been able to see. I've been to 6 countries, 25 cities, and only have seen 2% of the world. Here I was thinking I was ontop, seeing so much of the world, yet I still have so much to go. My life has been a series of changes, and growing up I never liked it. Now I'm so used to the changes that I'm excited to se what's next. I used to be scared of the future, of the unknown, but God has shown there is nothing to fear because he is with me. The first time I flew out of the country, I was terrified. I was headed on a study abroad for 10 days to Oxford England. I would be sitting in on lectures and hear from some of England's finest speakers, as well as a C.S. Lewis historian. I was scared, but I knew if I didn't go I would regret it for the rest of my life. I went, trusted in God, finally doing something on my own, and I loved it. I have so many memories from that trip that have just brought me so much joy, that even thinking about them brings tears to my eyes. When I was younger, I was terrified of everything. I acted like everything was fine, like I was tough, but I was so scared of the world. I grew up in a very strict Christian home that kept me in this little bubble that was between home and church. My father used to have to recite the verse with me God has not given me a spirit of fear, but of power and love of a sound mind. If he didn't go over that verse with me every night, I wouldn't be able to sleep. Now I'm ready for whatever is next, ready for the next adventure. I am such a freed spirit now that I can't even stay indoor for too long, because I feel boxed in. I finally feel free, freed from fear and barriers. I've tasted freedom and now I'm addicted. Trusting in God has shown me that I don't need to be afraid, everything is going to work out for me in the end, because he has my back. Graduating from college is a big step, and yet I still don't know what I'm going to do after, but God has it all under control. I know it's going to be an amazing new season. I'm ready.
