It's 2:11 am.
This past week God has really made known how blessed i am.
The people in my life are incredible.
My friends make me laugh.
smile.
cry.
they make me enjoy life.
So, i decided to dedicate this blog to them.
I'm going to miss them too much to express.
So, here you go.
Let's get mushy.
Lauren –
Literally my other half. No joking on that one. We say the same things, answer questions the same, and always duke it out the same. She's the person i go to with every single thing in my life. She's basically made me into who i am, 5 years of friendship will do that to you. Our friendship is like breathing, you dont think about it, it just happens. I've never met a single person like her in my whole entire life. Her spirit is so unique and beautifully woven in Christ i cant even take it. Her life is so precious to me, she may be the hardest to be away from. I talk to her 24/7 7 days a week so this may be a challenge. I'm not me without her. We always say if someone wants to date me, they're going to have to date her as well. (he wouldnt mind, she's gorg). I always laugh too much around her and we always have something to do. There is never a dull moment when i'm with her. Our friendship is so precious to me, it's one i would never take for granted.
Emily-
I never really know where to start with this one.
God has probably put us through every trial we possibly could go through as friends. She has become my sister and i'm so thankful to have her be a part of my life. She's my prayer warrior and my bold speaker. There is nothing she wont do and God uses that. She inspires me and spurs me on. Her heart is strong and her mind is creative. Her love is pure and i want nothing more than for her to continually be by my side for the rest of eternity.
Ruth 1:16-17
HAYLEY HAY-
She keeps me joyful. Her spirit is so happy and light all the time. Her laugh makes me laugh and our long talks always make me feel better. I love her child like faith and aspire to grow in that way. We've come out of our sin together at the same time and Christ has molded us and is continually growing us and i'm so glad its together. Our friendship is so easy and pure and i adore this girl more than i can express to her.
Cinnamon-
Since 5th grade she's been my go to girl, she's always at my side and always watching my back. I love her so much and i know God is making her into a beautiful warrior for his kingdom. I love sitting back and watching her because she's so creative and wonderful, it's infectious. She reminds me a lot of repunzel in Tangled, free spirited, loving, joyful, innocent. Her eyes are always full of wonder and i NEVER want her to lose that. I'm so incredibly blessed to know her and to call her one of my best friends.
Robert-
Also since 5th grade.
This boy is a freaking leader and i see God modling him into a perfect one every single day. Even though we dont see each other as often as we used to man oh man am i thankful he's a part of my life. He knows basically everything there is to know about me. For a long stretch of time he was the only person i really trusted and could count on. His love is unconditional and he reminds me so much of Christ and i'm sooooooooo in love with our friendship. God has brought us together for a divine reason and i never want to let this one go.
Samuel-
This boy has taught me so much.
His life is a blessing in itself. I'm a better person for knowing this man. God has HUGE plans for him and i'm so excited to watch them play out. He's always the first one to ask how i am with God and he always drags a real answer out of me. I want to hit him in the face 80% of the time but it never decreases the love and respect i have for him. His leadership is being proded and tested by my sister em but i love it. He's a great example of what a man of Christ looks like and God is using him in so many ways.
Carlita-
She's only really been a part of my life as a friend for a short amount of time but we've known each other for SO LONG. I love this women for one reason and one reason only, her hair. Obviously that's not true but it's a big reason. I love her laugh and her hunger to know more, constantly. I love how she's always up for anything and her honesty can cut lies right in half. I love spending time with her and feeling refreshed and open aftewards.
My little Holly-
I guess she isnt very little anymore.
God is making her into a woman that is on fire, it's exciting to watch. Everything we do together is my favorite, and i have too many days with her that i love. Even though she's the worst communicator in the history of communication i still love and adore this girl. Her wonder and incredible ability to make someone's day better leaves me speechless. I love the way she talks and i love snuggling on the couch with her. I just love her.
Katherine-
Someone i miss dearly but love all the same.
It's been months since i've last seen or really talked to her but she's made such a lasting impact on my life and her friendship means so much to me. Our conversations are always extrememly deep, except when they're not. She shares my love for black coffee and books. Her mind is vast and beautiful, as well as her heart. I see so much passion and love inside of her and i miss it being in my life as a constant. I love her style and her patience. I love her eyes and her ability to make me laugh. I love our friendship so much, and i love the woman God is molding her into.
Timmy-
This boy tests me. His attitude and his snarky remarks keep me on my toes, but his heart is so big and he uses it. I love his hugs and his feet massages. I love that really treats me like a sister and i have so much respect for him. He still has so much to learn but i see the excitement beneath the surface to know and love God more and more. Jesus is going to use his huge heart to change this world and i'm thankful that i have a front row seat.
Daniel-
I left him for the end for a reason.
He's become my best friend so fast and i'm so thankful. The time we spend together is so cherished and so easy. I can talk freely and openly with him and not feel judged. I've told him things no one knows and i trust him with all i have. His faith continually amazes me and his maturity is beyond his years. The way he loves is unique and only God made. I love his musical talents and how perfectly he writes songs. If i could spend every single day with this kid, i would. He's so easy to be around and i never have to be anyone or anything i'm not. I'm so glad to have him as my brother. Saying goodbye to him will surely bring tears.
