Beginnings and Endings

Hey everyone! I can't believe that in less that 3 weeks from today, I will officially end my YAV year. Where has the time gone?! As with all transitions, it has brought up a variety of mixed feelings...excitement and anxiety, worry and hope, ready for the next step and sad to be leaving this current one. Here is where I am at right now:

On the one hand, I am so ready to begin my new position at The Campus. I am also so excited about transitioning into our brand new building at the end of next week and getting settled in there. I even have my own desk, which is a big deal after having no space of my own all year. Getting paid will be a nice change, too :). I am also getting really excited about finding a cute house in East Nasvhille and really making it our own. Rebbecca, Bonnie, and I are hopeful that we will find something good.

However, all of these transitions also have some anxiety attached to them. In addition to the worry about those adjustments, I am definitely not ready to say goodbye to the rest of my YAV community in Nashville. I am sad to think about going to The Campus everyday without seeing Paul and Lucia, whose JVC year ends at the end of July as well. And I'm kind of sad about not having the YAV title, which has resulted in such wonderful hospitality from people in Nashville since we have been here.

Change takes time...I just trust that God has led me to stay here for a reason and that it will all work out for the best.
