Even though you go to Hopewell, some things changed but I'm so glad you will always be here for me and vise versa. BFF and ever my maid of honor! I do remember that and everything else we talk about. love you, Erin"-my birthday present from Erin! :) your the best friend ive ever had too! i love you!

"aww baby i love you too!!!!!!!!!!!
that was so sweet :) thank you so much for posting that, that made me feel so speciall ~ i love you"-again from Casey! haha
"i wanted to let you know, that I am always here for you. and you may not understand the capacity of that sentence, but it's true. i truly do care about what you're going through, and if you are having problems, please don't hesitate to talk to me. I am forever online. I may not have been through all the things you might be going through, but i was in highschool.
i'll tell you now, i hated highschool and everything about it. Lifeteen was my getaway. don't give up on it, that is where you will find the most wonderful people to fall on. Hey, why do you think God put you there? I've already fallen back on you. You do have a purpose in life. You are beautiful. You can't do this with out God. just believe that."-private message from Emily
"yeah, i know what you mean. there's a difference between giving up and getting to the point where you've done all you can do. like when they need you, you don't have to say no (in fact, i know you, and you won't be ABLE to say no...and that's a good thing). but right now, they're just letting you keep giving without caring or giving anything back. sometimes you're not the one that's meant to directly bring a certain person to God. we're all called to bring people to Christ by being living examples, and i know you're doing everything you can to be that kind of example--i see it in you every day--and the funny thing is, that's exactly what they have a problem with. keep standing up for what you believe in, and keep being a good example, and someday they will see. i'm serious, girl, i see Christ in you more and more every day. and that DOES NOT make you second best to them. it does the opposite. "he who humbles himself will be exhalted."--don't ever forget that. YOU ARE A WONDER. just show them how happy you are living for Christ... who knows? maybe they'll want that... i love you!"-private message from Becca
"hey Theresa!...i'm SO glad i met u this year! we HAVE to hang out some time outside of school/church. i KNOW there are some GOOOOOOD times to come in this relationship LoL. see ya tomorrow @ lunch. * LOVE YOU *"-private message from Ania
"hey.....i'm really sorry to hear that. i really don't have anything uber wise and mature to say, only that i know how you feel.
there's this country song that i just thought of, it goes like this:
"how can i help you to say goodbye?
it's okay to hurt...and it's okay to cry.
come let me hold you
and i will try...
tell me, how can i help you
to say goodbye?"
i think that letting your friendship run it's course is probably the best option. sometimes not thinking about it is the right solution....but that's a decision that you have to make. i would say that i'll call you later, but i'm not allowed to use the phone today
oh well - at least its only for today, right? i'll talk to you....sometime. haha. i hope things work out.
love always,
tabitha"-private message from Tabitha
"i can totally understand that last part.
and you don't sound selfish."-note from Tab on my open diary
"Hey babe,
In danger of getting deja-vu here, I'll tell you what you need to do. There's only three things, really...
1. Pray, pray, pray, pray, PRAY. Oh, and as a backup, PRAY.
2. Know that wherever God is leading your relationship right now is the best thing for you and them in the end, and be content with His plan.
3. Most importantly, call me!!
Girl, I know how incredibly hard this is for you... "all I know is that it hurts to see my only friend slowly fade away". We all get that way with different people- I got that way with Amy for a while, and it SUCKED. But you've got to have faith that God is leading you where He wants you to be- and be strong in that knowledge!
I love you, dearest, hang in there! I'll be praying for you
.
In Christ and with love,
*Josie*
-private message from Josie
"i know this sucks to hear: but you lose a lot of really close friends when you get to high school, i didn't want to hear it either, but you do, its just a part of moving on in your life and it happens. The most important thing is not to have a vendetta against the people who you stop being friends with, it brings your whole high school experience down. If for any reason you cease to be friends
with someone, appreciate what you all have had, talk every now and then, hang out some times, but make sure you can let go too. I love you!"-note left on my open diary from Anna
"hey sweetie. I know exactly how you feel. For the longest time I've been praying for a friend of mine. A while back it seemed like my friend had finally had a change of heart, but then he/she just went back to being their same self. It made me really sad, and I used to get so frusterated over the fact that I couldn't change them. Just continue praying, and I'll pray too. Love ya girl."-note on my open diary from Amy
"I didnt know that she was putting you through this. Im sorry, i wish i could help so i will pray for her too.
hopefully she will find christ as i have and to be honest theresa i could never have done it without you. Thank-you so much because without you i would be lost and i can truly call you a best friend. Thank-You for all that you have given me, especially christ. O and thanks for dragging me to adoration because that helped me become closer, thanks for introducing me to all of the cool people that i have met through you and lifeteen i mean i would only have half the friends if you didnt help me find christ and made me want to come to lifeteen and the retreat. You are truly a GREAT friend, dont ever stop being the enlighting person that you are because you are a very enlighting person. Yeah so i am out of things to say right now cause i dont want to flatter you to much...haha.
Thank-you,
God Bless
