Packing up to go… Good Bye Lynchburg, Virginia

Packing up to go… Good Bye Lynchburg, Virginia

My life has made a 360. The last two weeks in July, I literally sat in the patio soaking up the sun lost in my own thoughts. So focused on just sitting there that a part of me doesn’t think I was even lucid. And the first two weeks of August I have been busy like a bee with endless priorities and thing to do. Seriously, packing up and moving up your entire life is no joke! You talk about it, you plan it out for months and there are still a million things left unorganized! This coming from an extreme anal person, who before executing the plan devised it, revised it and did that back and forth for a good uh billion times?! Why do I have so much stuff, seriously? And as I individually pack each thing that occupies my townhouse, that’s where it all hit me. What was suppose to be an emotionless task became an emotional review of the past four years I spent in Lynchburg, VA.

This has been nothing but an incredible journey and as I look back at the past four years, I marvel at not only the good times but the bad times as well, amazed by how each event God has used to shape and mold me. How blessed I am to within the city lines of Lynchburg find love, loose love, make friends, loose friends, find my way when the world as I thought I knew it was crumbling, find the definition of true friendship and love, impact the lives of some and be impacted by the lives of people a quarter my age.

God used this town, and the people here to impact and touch my life. Though there are a thousand complaints to have against this place, town and people, they all left a remarkable mark and carved me into the woman God has planned for me to be. I have met some remarkable people, and um some not so good people. But either way, I love them all and wish them nothing but the best because they are apart of my story. They made me who I am and have in one way or another been used by God to teach me valuable lessons.

True friendship and true love never dies. People are placed in your life for reasons and seasons. People disappoint, but every person has something to offer you- Regardless if it is by a lesson that brings you the greatest happiness or rocks you to the core. Sometimes its good, sometimes it will hurt, sometimes it will make you incredibly happy, and other times it will make you want to crawl in a ball and just die. But regardless all those people, all those events- they have a purpose. And well, they made me- me.

And now- well, I am ready for the next chapter of my life. With a degree, a true love, true friends for a lifetime, and a ton of experience in my career field- I set out to another city to make my mark, continue my journey and live out my dream.
