Special

I have a lot of special people in my life. People that I can count on. People that I know are always going to be there for me. These people are my loved ones, my friends, my family. You name it, and that's what they are. 

I know these pictures are kind of at random, but each and every single person in all of these photos means the world to me. They all have a special place in my heart, and I'm so thankful to call them my friends. I love that they're apart of my life, and there would be a bunch of little holes in my heart if I didn't have them.

~P.S. I have many more people in my life who are special to me, but I just can't seem to find pictures. Darn!~

Friends

The other day a school friend and I were talking, and out of the blue she goes "Well you know Melly... not all friends are as close as you and Drew." It made my heart happy to know that not only do I see something special in our friendship, but other people see it too. Drew, you'll never be replaced in my heart. Thanks for being here for me. I will never take you for granted, best friend.

Fill me up God

Ephesians 3:19 - And to know the love of Christ, which passes knowledge, that you might be filled with all the fullness of God.

Fun kids

For those of you that do babysit. You'll understand this post.

Last night I was babysitting for some friends of mine. Yes, I do see them as friends, not as old people. Anyways, their kids are wonderful. They have kids that you WANT to babysit, and spend time with. They have wonderful manners and they are so polite. Plus, they feel like family, and it's always more fun to babysit for people you feel are family, right? So last night we played games, ate supper, played more games, had a dance party, and just had fun spending time together over all. I was sad to put them to bed. But as they crawled into bed, we prayed. Hearing those sweet little voices pray to Jesus made my heart melt. It reminded me to have faith like a child. It reminded me not to come to God, with these big words, that in the end, does anyone really care about anyways? I knew that Jesus heard those prayers last night. It was special.

I love these kids. With my whole heart.

Long drive

Crazy!! Just recently I drove all the way to Red Wing, Minnesota. With a friend. Just a friend. I felt like I was growing up, way too fast. Anyways, we went to Red Wing to see some dear friends of ours. They recently moved there to become senior pastors of a little church just 20 minutes outside of Red Wing. It was a wonderful visit, and I enjoyed every second of it. And when it was time to pack up and say goodbye, I was sad. But my heart felt peace, knowing that every thing that had happened was supposed to happen. There were no mistakes when God called them there, and now I see that. I'm so thankful for the time I got to spend with them, and I can't wait to see them this summer.

~Oh and for all of you that were wondering, I'm currently fasting from facebook, and won't be on until the 28, or maybe longer. Hooray for self determination, and getting closer to Jesus.~
