In May I went to Disney World with show choir. THAT was truly one of the best vacations ever. I had only been to DW once before, when I was 12, and I think I enjoyed it more this time! To all the friends that made it memorable, thank you. I will never forget that amazing week.
June was filled with new friendships and experiences. VBS at church was so awesome and growing closer to my church family made this entire summer incredible. July came and went pretty quickly. Going to Texas was probably the best trip I've ever gotten to go on. God was working and His Spirit moving and I grew as a person and a believer. The people who I've grown up with who were there to grow with me and grow closer to, I thank you. Y'all are all fantastic and I wouldn't trade a single moment we experienced these past few months. It's amazing to know that I now have lasting friendships with people who I can turn to for help, strength, and encouragement. I hate that this summer is ending because it's the moments with all of you that I'm going to miss the most.
Now, some personal notes to different people...
To my best friend who is off doing God's work. I am SO proud of you. I pray for you daily and that will not stop for the next 6 months. I can't imagine what you're going through, but I know that God is right there with you, so I don't worry. I don't know how I'm gonna make it this semester without you, but I get my strength from Christ so I should be just fine. I love you so much and I cannot wait to see you in December! :D
To the girl who I've neglected the past 2 years. All I can say is I'm so sorry. I wish we could've been close like we should've but we weren't. We can't change that, but I am SO glad to have you in my life. I feel like God brought us back together for a reason and I am very excited to see where He takes us. We will not fall apart again. I hope you know that I'm always here when you need me and I pray that you will never take your eyes off Him. Remember Whose you are. :)
To the man who I am more than proud to see growing up. I am so glad that you are stuck with me forever as a cousin and a brother in Christ. I'm glad we've grown close and that you're there to tell me when I deserve better than what I give myself credit for. I can only hope to find someone who's like you (minus the family-relation part, haha) and who you will approve of. ;)
To the 2 gentlemen who have been by my side for pretty much this whole summer, thank you. I enjoyed our random movie nights and Taco Bell runs. I think this is the part I'm gonna miss the most, to be honest. Hopefully we can still do things occasionally. I will miss what we had but I will not forget the memories we made. Shake n Bake! :)
To the beautiful young lady who I got to spend time with for the first time in a LONG time, I will miss you when you leave for school. I pray that you will grow as a Christian and that God will open many doors for you. If you ever need someone, text me! I will never forget when you cried with me in the hotel in Texas. Haha. You're such an amazing person and I hope you never lose that. I'm glad we hung out this summer and I hope we will hang out again soon. :)
To the others of you who I didn't mention, just know that you all hold a special place in my heart. You are my friends, but you're also my brothers and sisters in Christ, and even though this summer was AMAZING, just think of the experiences we will all have in Heaven together! That makes me excited.So as I close this chapter in my book, I can only smile about it. There were tears, awkward moments, laughs, and serious times, and I enjoyed every second.
This summer may be in the rear-view, but it will stay in my heart forever.
