God is so good to me. He has brought me out to Montana to grow and be known by so many wonderful people. I truly have been challenged to grow and develop my faith by so many people.
But today marks the start of my last week in Montana for the foreseeable future. I will graduate from Rocky Mountain College on May 5th and while it ends a chapter a new one will begin.
I am one to cherish people and places and miss them to the core of my being. I love everyone whom I have come in contact with. This makes it very hard to say goodbye. While I am excited to be starting a new chapter in my life, I am sad to close the previous chapter.
I have amazing friends that have cultivated, challenged and instilled growth in me to the point in which I am not even close to the person I was entering college.
I am allowing myself to feel all of these emotions and acknowledge them for what they are. I am pressing into God to keep me going as I am running myself into the ground for the joy of seeing people a few more times before I leave for Colorado. This time thus far has been very fruitful and meaningful as I have seen many friends. I have found a home here in Billings and seek love every second of living in such a beautiful place.
Over the course of the semester I have become okay with feeling feelings and am better at talking through those feelings and letting them sit and pass. My emotions no longer hold a bind on me and I can express them in words so people can see where I am coming from.
I’m sorry if this doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to you but know that I am a different person for college and that it has changed me for the better and God has seen it all.
May you have peace in the Lord,
Zack
