Remember this Moment
There's so much I would love to say about Leyla, but the first thought that comes to mind is her loyalty and honesty. She's beautiful inside and out. She can do anything she sets her mind to. Leyla works hard, perseveres and never gives up hope. She pushed me in high school to never give up and was one of my best friends. Her heart of gold and hilarious sense of humor always kept me smiling. She's going to make a difference in this world. I'm sure of it.
Deuteronomy 31:6 Be
strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is
the LORD your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake
you.”
We definitely had our struggles. Both of us didn't believe that we would even make it through high school. We would sit in the back of praise band and share our secrets, dreams and stories. I cherish this boy and his friendship more than anything. I know that I can come to Nate about anything and he would never judge me. He has strength. It's something I really admire. I don't think he gives himself enough credit. He has accomplished so much and has come so far. His faith is so unique and powerful. I love it. I love to hear his thoughts about certain topics in the Bible and where he stands. He's a great guy. I don't know how I would've graduated from high school last year without him by my side. I'm beyond thankful. Now, we're both going to be attending the same college and I couldn't be more excited. I pray our friendship will continue to grow stronger. Nate is the best friend a girl could ever ask for.
Isaiah 41:10 Fear
not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will
strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous
right hand.
At first, we didn't agree on anything. We would fight over nothing that held importance. Looking back, it makes me laugh because we could've spent all that time being friends. We quickly developed a friendship despite our differences. Allison is beautiful. God has blessed her with so many talents. She's a leader, a dancer, so intelligent and a great friend to her three best friends- Jennifer, Becca and Shannon. Her loyalty to them and her family really shines. When she loves, she loves with her whole heart. I know for a fact that she loves the Lord. I can see it when she dances as strange as that sounds. I can see it when she babysits. She's a lover and will fight for what she loves. Allie will go far in life because of this. She truly knows how to love and I pray Allison, that this will never change.
I love you always.
1 John 4:7-8 Beloved,
let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has
been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know
God, because God is love.
When I think of Kristen- the first word that pops into my brain is: Successful. Why? Because that is what she is. Kristen was a cheerleader, girlfriend, best friend of many, on yearbook, on dance team, beta club, etc. Kristen did it all and never lost sight of what was important- The Lord. She continued to be loyal to her family and her God. I admire that the most about her. She always has time for the people she loves and makes time, regardless of her busy schedule. She's so beautiful and has a big heart. I have so many memories with her that I will never forget. She was one of my best friends. One of my cheerleaders in life to keep going. I will never forget her and am so proud of her for heading to U of M. She'll be successful there too. I know it.
1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
I love all of you. Always live & love fearlessly.
