Best Friends Cry Together
I sat by Liz in chapel today (the last one and it was all music and prayer). I cried so hard. I am SO BLESSED beyond measure and I think that is why I am so sad to leave. I'm gonna miss her so much. In one semester we've become like best friends (the same with Andy). I'm trying so hard not to dwell on the sadness because I want to make the most out of this last week here in Spokane. After chapel Andy came and sat by us and I just sat there in the middle with my arms around them, my two best friends. We watched the picture slide show from the Formal for a while and then had to leave. *Sigh*. "Thank you God for everything you've given me this year. I am so grateful."
I am so torn between sadness and excitement. How can life be so great and yet so sad and difficult? Why did God make us able to feel emotion and love? It is the most beautiful picture of how he cares about us even though we are so flawed and unworthy. "Lord, Give me strength to keep pressing forward and not try to live in the past. I want to live for you in everything. Use me this summer to change lives. Amen."
