My Amazing Friends:)

WOW!!! I have amazing friends!! lol this is kind of a random thought/post..but I want to center this one all on you guys...my friends!! The one's I talk to all the time, the ones I don't see very much...maybe don't even really talk to you that much...but you're all very special to me!!
I don't even know how to express my thoughts on this. Ya'll have such an impact on me...I hope I have a good impact on you too.
God has taught me a lot...especially through my friends. Some of the memories aren't the best and some are just amazing...but each one has helped me in my life...no matter how painful it was or how exciting it was.
I don't wish for one minute that one of you weren't in my life...ya'll have a special place in my heart...and I'm so blessed to call you my friends!!!
I love to listen to you, to hear what's going on in all of your lives....your struggles, exciting times...everything!
I hope I can be a good friend...and set a Christ-like example in this messed up world.
Thanks so much you guys, for everything...for being my friend!!

"I can be there for you when it can't get much harder
I can cover your head when life starts to rain
I can hold on tight when you feel like you're falling
I can bread crumb the path when you've lost your way
I can make you laugh when the whole world is crying
I can build you up when you're broken in shame
But if all that we do is absent of Jesus, then this so called love is completely in vain..."
This So Called Love-MercyMe



Here's some pictures of ya'll!!! ENJOY:)

Bethany

Yesterday I talked to Bethany on the phone for a half and hour! She's been in England for a few months, and I don't get to talk to her that often.
We had a really nice conversation! She was telling me somethings that she was having problems with and vice versa for me.
I don't even realize how much I do miss you...we have so many great memories together!
We've gone on a trip to South Dakota just the two of us, listened to awesome music in the van with the bass up and the windows down (lol), we used to go to the Wellness Center 3 times a week together and we learned how to play racquet ball (I remember getting hit by the ball in the head, arm, leg, etc. by Bethany! haha) we even did a Zumba class together at the Wellness Center (wow! That was hilarious!!) and so many more.
I'm so proud of Bethany for what she's doing and how's she is staying strong even under so much pressure! God has blessed me with an amazing family that I too often take for granted! and a big sister that no one can ever replace!

Bethany, I love you!!


Luke 9:23-27
 And He was saying to them all, "If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me.
"For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake, he is the one who will save it.
"For what is a man profited if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits himself?
"For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when He comes in His glory, and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.
"But I say to you truthfully, there are some of those standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God."
