camp
man camp was awesome...i REALLY loved the messages...i even gained some friendships and got closer to alot of my friends....I MISS CAMP LIKE CRAZY....at the moment we would have been in a classroom session....=( it felt good to sleep in a little later than we did but i still wish we were back there....there is nothing more important to me than spending ALOT of time with my friends....exspecially when it is church related!!
friendships...
here are a few poems and quotes that remind me of some of my close friends....
"Someone asked me if I had an angel
And I just told them "yes, I do,"
They asked me who my angel was
and I told them that it was you.
They told me they didn`t have one
and I simply repiled,
"Sure you have one, everyone does"
But I think I may have lied.
Because see I didn`t know my angel
Until about 4 years ago
And he means so much to me
But I don`t think he knows.
He has really helped me
through alot of stuff
and made me want to hang on
when I felt like giving up.
I could never thank him enough
Because really, you have no clue
I couldn`t live without him
I just wouldn`t know what to do.
I hope you do remember this
I love you with all my heart
And I could say so much more
But I wouldn`t know where to start."
"Friends are like credit cards,
we need them forever..."
"Many people will walk in
and out of your life,
but only true friends will leave
footprints in your heart."
"There's nothing as nice as someone who shares,
your laughter, your secrets, your wishes and cares,
someone who's there through your good times and tears,
who stays by your side as your friend through the years."
....i love you guys...you mean the world to me!!!....
My testimony....
I figured that since this is a new blog, that I should start off with my testimony...
When I was little, I attended Calusa Prepatory School and I loved it. I had many friends there. I learned about God but I never really understood what being a Christian was. I figured that since my parents were Christian and that since I went to a private school, that I was a Christian too. I was baptized when I was 7 or 8 years old but I didnt really understand what I was doing. During the summer of 4th grade, I started coming to West Kendall Baptist Church. I thought that I was a Christian. During school, I had never payed any attention to the Bible lessons because I never believed the stories were really true.
So when I came to West Kendall, I noticed that the people there had something that I didnt. But I didnt know what it was. After 2 years of attending, I finally realized what I was missing...I was missing God. Me and my friend Enamarie both got baptized soon after I accepted Christ into my heart. This time, I knew what I was doing. Since then, God has been working in my life and I have grown stronger as a Christian. I remember I used to hide my feelings from everyone I knew so that no one would know how I really felt in the inside. But then I began talking to Rey. And I honestly believe that I am now who I am because of Rey. I would not be here today if it were not for him. He helped me make some tough decisions and has been there for me through the real rough times.
ALL of my friends have pulled me through all the hard stuff that happens. They make everything seem ok...even if things really arent ok. For example, recently someone close to me passed away..my dad. And I was so happy to see that all my friends were there for me. Im pretty sure that if it were not for my friends, I would right now, at this moment, be depressed and sad all the time. I also have to give a HUGE shout out to Rey and Brigitte De Armas for being the best friends I could EVER have! They have been so good to me and make me feel special. They are like my own brother and sister. Sometimes it feels like they are more of a brother and sister than my real sisters...=)...but I still love my sisters... I thank God for taking me to West Kendall Baptist Church and for allowing me to get so close to EVERYONE there!! YOU ALL MEAN SO MUCH TO ME! I have a verse that I devoted to all my friends.
John 15:12-13
"My commandment is this: Love eachother as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this that he lay down his life for his friends."
I LOVE YOU ALL!
God Bless!
