Dear Maggie,

You're my best friend. Why? Well, there are a lot of things about you that I never say but should. You're always there for me. I tell you everything. And you tell me everything. I trust you with all my heart. You share a love for God that I have. I don't thank you nearly enough for all that you do for me. On nights when I feel like the whole world is crashing down, I look and you are always there by my side. I know that with you as my friend, I'm never alone.

You're my best friend. Why? Because unlike any other friend I have, you're always 100% honest with me. You'd never and have never judged me. When I need a smile, you're there to make that happen. When I need a hug, you're there. When I need a shoulder to cry on, you're there. You're the only person I can even imagine being my maid of honor when I get married, years from now. We may argue, we may disagree sometimes, but I know that in the end, you'll be that friend that I'll have until the day I die.

You're my best friend. Why? Because I know that without you, I'd be dead. I love you.

I Hate Highschool.

Well, not really. I actually do enjoy the experience. But I've noticed some things lately that I am not liking.

#1. Guys. All they look at is girls. And not girls' faces. Oh no, you know what I'm talking about. Sometimes I just wish I could tell girls that their boyfriends just want one thing. Well, most of them anyway.

#2. Girls. Yes, I know I'm a girl. But I'm sick of hearing who a girl did what with and where. I wish girls had so much more respect for themselves because chances are, they'll one day regret what they did in highschool.

#3. Homework. I don't really think I need to explain that one.

#4. Teachers. I have a teacher, just one in particular, who shows favorites. It seriously bugs me. He not only favors certain students, but he also talks about other students, BY NAME, behind their backs to other students.

Anyway, what I'm trying to say is...there's a world out there that isn't living in a way that God wants and each and every one of us could be reaching out and showing them His love. Don't just sit back, go and do something! You could be saving someone from being lost their whole lives and help them to live an eternal life!

"My brothers, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring him back, remember this: whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save him from death and cover a multitude of sins."

James 5:19-20

Footprints in the Sand

One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.

In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes there were two sets of footprints, other times there was one only.

This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life, when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat, I could see only one set of footprints, so I said to the Lord,

“You promised me Lord,that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life there has only been one set of footprints in the sand. Why, when I needed you most, have you not been there for me?”

The Lord replied, “The years when you have seen only one set of footprints, my child, is when I carried you.”

Trying to Find Myself

In this small town where nothing is secret,

I'm trying to find myself.

The world I'm living in isn't making sense anymore.

Who's who and what's what?

'Cause this life isn't real

Everything is fake.

What happened to being yourself?

I guess I'll never know.
