On My Own

On my own.

This is not a phrase that I use a lot or that I like to use a lot, truthfully.
If I think about it, I am constantly surrounded by people. Whether it is my parents, sisters, boyfriend or friends, I like to keep people close to me. I like to have them handy to ask for help or advice or just to watch movies or eat with.

Pretty soon here, in about 8 days, I will be on my own quite a bit, perhaps even more than I might be comfortable with at first. I will be flying internationally by myself, getting myself to Oxford and buying my own groceries. For a little while, I won't know anyone. I won't have a cell phone handy, and I will have to ask strangers for help.

Ok, so truthfully this is not that big of a deal. People do it all the time. And as I explore this world of "on my own," I am sure that it will help me grow a lot. It will be an adventure.

I just keep reminding myself that I have to remember that God will be with me every step of the way. I must remember that he will place people in my way. I look forward to meeting these people and exploring what life on my own is like.

It's independence or bust! Woohoo
