It was 5 years ago,
in 2009, that I began my blog as part of my requirements for my study abroad
experience here in Sansepolcro, Italy.
Little did I know that curiosity and a hope for rediscovery would bring
me back here 5 years later. I have been
note taking and journaling endless feelings about what it’s like to be back in
a place where I've been before, but one far from home in North Carolina.
It is hard not to
create expectations when you return somewhere but it has been a goal of mine to
let life happen. Although this small
Tuscan town hasn't changed too much, I have.
I am no longer student, and this creates an opportunity to be whatever I
want to be. I am still eager to learn
but with a new hope that I can be present.
So far I have learned that running helps, rom coms do not. I have realized that I am now more unsure of
my life's next steps than I was as a student 5 years ago, or even a graduate 2
years ago.
I am hoping to take
a hold of the truth that God is looking over me, and will give me strength to
overcome the obstacles I fear lie ahead.
The Lord will comfort me in my loneliness and protect me in my new
adventures traveling.
This is an
opportunity… to learn, and to grow. Each
day I will try to do just that.
