1 year since I started one of the greatest adventures of my life.
So much has changed. Life keeps moving forward and I keep telling myself I'm going to catch up with it but I think it might be impossible. In a good way.
After much consideration, I decided to put all my old blogs on a different page. They are still accessible (also after much consideration) but this year I really want to start fresh. I know that my past is real and I have been through so many great things, which is why I chose to export them onto a different blog. Feel free to access them whenever you'd like. rlmccallold.blogspot.com
Now the good stuff: I want to start fresh. With all my old blogs hanging over my head I felt like I wasn't able to be honest. I felt like my blog was somewhere I went when I was feeling insightful, not somewhere I could go when I felt burdened or needed to confess areas I was weak. This blog will be an actual blog. My feelings. My struggles. My desires.
That being said...
It's been a year since I left for my study abroad trip. It was one of those events that splits up your life in two pieces, "before I studied abroad" and "after I studied abroad". Before I studied abroad, I lived within limits and I did things for other people, in a bad way. I lived for other people, for their happiness. I changed my personality to fit who needed it and I justified it with a lot of different reasons. After I studied abroad, I went through a rough transition figuring out who I really was and I started living for myself, in a good way. I struggled and I fought but I've come out with new Light and as the Lord breaks down barriers, He has shown me that every minute that passes is one I'll never get back.
So here goes nothing (famous last words, right?). Here I am candidly dealing with my struggles and triumphs with the greatest leader of all, Jesus. Forever.
