Fly Away Home

you know, if you really know me, you should already know that I love Georgia. point blank.
Here, I have
my family
friends
my childhood
great weather with minimal snow
good chinese food ^.^
MY ENTIRE LIFE

but you know, I've also been thinking recently about going out of state
after all, I KNOW that I'm going to be moving back here if I do go out of state for college.
So, why not get out and see what else is out there for a few years?
I'm scared to go out though, what if i like it better than Georgia?
I'm about the only person I know who feels this way and it's a little lonely.

haha, i didn't truly realize how homesick i would be until costa rica
Dont get me wrong--it was great. it was exciting, INCREDIBLY CONFUSING, challenging, and rewarding all at once, but it just wasn't home.



I missed all my Ocee Park guys IMMENSELY
I missed my family
I missed school friends
I missed church friends
I missed my girls
I missed a JAMBALAYA PARTY THAT MY SISTER THREW WITHOUT ME! haha xD

In the Hartsfield Jackson Airport, I saw this video clip advertising Georgia and I almost cried with happiness thinking, "I'm home. I belong here."
On the clip there was the Okefenokee Swamp, Bobby Jones golf course, Symphony Hall, Coke Museum...all so familiar.

but you know--coming home has never been so special to me before
I've always taken it for granted that I would come back home to Georgia
in 4465 Pinehollow Ct. Alpharetta.
But really soon, it's not going to be that way

I'm gonna have to grow up and fly away
be a big girl
mmm God, thank you for being there, being able to comfort me through all this decision making
This is one of those times where I can't do anything but trust in your holy and mighty will
because I dont even know where I'm taking myself

"For in Scripture it says: "See, I lay a stone in Zion, a chosen and precious cornerstone, and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame."

- 1 Peter 2:6

See YA!
