this past monday and tuesday, i went to yearbook camp.
there, i became friends with some people that i didn't think i would.
the best part, however, had nothing to do with the camp or even yearbook itself.
it was the four amazing girls i spent it with.
one of these girls, i spent a lot of second semester of freshman year with.
she has a huge heart, a great personality, and a laugh you can recognize from a mile away.
since i met this girl when we were in eighth grade, i have always seen her as a
very spritual person. i think of her as the girl who goes to church and gives her all to the Lord.
well, come to find out, recently, she has been questioning him.
she is yearning to feel God's presence.
she may feel like she has lost touch with him,
but this girl has never lost her faith.
she's probably one of the most inspirational people i know.
no matter what kind of mood you are in,
she can figure out a way to make you smile.
anyways, i'll get to the point.
everyone was supposed to be in our hotel rooms at midnight on monday night,
but the five of us decided we would find a place outside and just sit and talk.
our conversations went from boys and falling in love, to God.
that very night, i think four of us brought our friend closer to him.
we told her not to give up on him.
things take time and he has a plan.
they also taught me great lessons.
who knew one conversation could bring us all so close
and build such a good frienship.
to close this blog,
i would like to say thank you.
to four of the most amazing girls i know.
here's to sitting in the dark,
under the stars,
in the middle of a vineyard,
at holiday inn express...
almost three hours past our curfew.
...
and here's to the ones who ran on five hours of sleep the next day.
abby, jessica, sydney & nathallie,
thank you.
i love you all.
