The Beginning of an End

Lately I have been thinking about how fast time moves. In this new season of life, I’m ending high school and transitioning to start my college career. The person that I am now is not the same person I was this time last year. With my graduation two weeks away, I have found myself grieving past moments of my life while holding joy for what’s to come. This odd paradox is why I titled this the beginning of an end. This first blog post, the first step to making a website, the first step towards pursuing my goals has all started with little steps. As someone against any sort of change in my life, I constantly want to remain in the safety of what was or what is. Yet, life cycles, and change are inevitable. As I grow, I want to be more comfortable with change, and taking little steps toward newness, although scary and sometimes uncomfortable, is a start. I want to dedicate this new website, blog, and space to show my creativity, to the Lord, who holds all newness and every ending in His hands. At a point where the beginning is an end, I’m comforted by Jesus’ affection for my life, and I want to rest each day knowing that He holds the plans, and I don’t have to strive for anything. Ending high school is so sad, because I have made so many memories, and ending this season means that my life will now move in a different direction, in a different place. Yet, starting college and getting to move away from home creates so much excitement within me, so despite my bittersweet feelings, here’s to new beginnings and the end of old chapters.

Best,
