catching up

so today i got to hang out with 2 of my best frends. one who i havent seen in over a month and one who i jusst love to death and has been with me through thick and thin. we went to church and i havent been in like forever. it was really really good to go and just listen to a speacker. i'v missed young life. but anyways....

i spent over three hours just chilling with cora and jess and talking to them. catching up on what we all missed and just having fun.

we got to talking and cora brings up the wedding and asks me if i thought it was a sighn from god saying that that was the wrong choice and i should of done work crew. i told her no. then i went on to explin....... i said i dotn think of it as a wrong choice but i think of it as a chance for me to grow with god and relie on him more. everytime i had to make a decition i grew stronger in christ and in life. i became more mature with my decitions. one of my decitions was based on money and finacal things. and to shorten it my parents were willing to give me money that they dident have just so i could go to the wedding. but it was my deciton to say no and have them keep their money. in this decition i grew to trust god that that was the right thing to do and i took it as not many teen girls would stop and say NO i am not taking the money.

so i sat there at beaners and tryed my hardest to explain to them that even thow i dident go to WC i still grew alot this year just in making decitons. So no in case people were wondering i dont look at this as a way of god saying i made the wrong deciton i see it as a way of him testing me and my faith this summer in ways that i needed but just dident know......

its hard for me to think o of how mudh i gave up this summer to go to the wedding and then not go to the wedding. but like i said i am trying to trust in god. wish me luck and please pray.....

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future"
