Just Life....

It is incredible to me some of the people that you can meet on visitation. A typical visitation day consists of a team going out and sometimes we will have a couple doors slammed in our face, but usually most are nice... or at least act like it. On Saturday we had a visit with a catholic man, who was rather rude.... He got extremely offended because we asked if Jesus was his Lord and Savior. The best part was, he accused us of "taking the Highroad." Now to most that might seem offensive, but Caitlyn and I had to hold back our laughter. And yes, Mister Mean Catholic Guy... I do take the Highroad!! (It's also a very awesome coffee that you can purchase at Starbucks :P )

Anyway, School is coming to an end, which is really exciting. I honestly can say that this year has not been the funnest one yet... and yes, I did just say funnest. Whether it be dreading going to math or horrified at going to german class with Jefferey, I have experienced it. Luckily, not everthing has been horrible this year. I have had the opprotunity to be in a singing quartet (REDEEMED) It has been so amazing, but I have also learned many things from it. Probably the most important thing that I have learned is that no matter what you are doing you most do it for the glory of the Lord and He will bless you more than you could ever have imagined! When we started singing together it was mostly a really fun thing to do, but we all realized that we must do it for the Lord, or this is no point. That doesn't mean it wasn't fun.. I mean singing with my 2 best friends turned out to be the greatest thing that I could have ever imagined!! I am so glad that we got to do that and the Lord truly blessed me in the process.

Well, I am not sure what my plans for the summer are, besides going to church camp... Which I am really looking forward too. There is no better way to grow closer to your friends than to spend a week with them in services and praying together! I am also really excited to see my Crown friends!! I love any chance I get to see them!!! Speaking of Crown friends, tomorrow is the Crown Southwest. I am really excited to be able to see one of my closest friends, Kara, graduate. She has been such a great influence to me and I am happy that I get to be there for her graduation. It may seem like a little thing, but I am uber excited. I also get to see my other Crown friends. :) Plus, Caitlyn is picking me up, which means even more fun!!!!

I know I am writing alot, but I have alot on my mind. This weekend was a pretty tough one... Yesterday my Uncle left because he is in the army. Also, 2 of my best friends are leaving, so it wasn't the easiest week. Regarding my friends, I know that they are in God's will, but it is still hard. Sometimes people move on from where ther are and we just have to realize that God has a purpose for everything that happens.... Well, I am going to go now....
