MichelleMillerBlog: Abandoned blogger...

Im sorry to say, thats been me. I could go through all the reasons why I haven't taken the time to write, but in the end it doesn't really matter cause I'm back now! I hope someone notices....

Change.

The word thats been a theme in my life over the past month. And I've been thinking about it a lot, and the effects of it. Why it happens, and why it has to happen. And the feelings and emotions that are so ever present when it shows up. I've always been a fan of change. I don't like getting stuck in the same old patterns. And normally after doing the same thing for a long time I get bored with it. Its funny how when your stuck in the same routine you long for change. Something new, something exciting. Which is exactly where I was a couple months ago. And here I sit now, after much change has taken place with feelings Im not sure how to explain. As some of you may know, I moved to Maryland the beginning of January. Moved in with a lady and her daughter, started school as a Photography major, and started working at Starbucks. Its really a dream of mine thats actually come to pass. I've always wanted to live more in a city, actually be in the same area as the person I love, and pursue my passion for photography. And the Lord opened up doors for all that to take place. And honestly, theres no other place I'd rather be right now. I know He made a way and this is where Im supposed to be, and its where I want to be too. There's a feeling of excitement for what's to come on this new journey, but the hardest part is not looking back. Sometimes when you look back on the past, especially the good times, its easy to want to go back to them. I know you can't live in the past, and I know if I had the choice I wouldn't take it. I just miss the people that I've crossed paths with. I have to constantly remind myself to look back and be thankful for those times, and not wallow in sadness because there over. Because with each new season comes a new adventure, new people, and a new lesson. And more times then not, a new measure of grace to walk through it. I'm constantly amazed at the goodness and faithfulness of the Lord. I cant begin to imagine where I would be without His never ending love. He is the rock of my salvation.

To make up for lost time, heres a few photos....
