so i talked to shane etheredge tonight. i owe so much to him. whenever i talk to him, it's not him talking to me, it's God. i'm one of those people who sees God in places and people. i don't see God in many people, but its overwhelming when i talk to Shane. He really has made such a huge difference in my life. today, chance asked me if he was my hero, i responded no, because right now, shane is my hero. he has played such a huge part in changing my life around.
i hadnt talked to him in awhile. and my faith...well lets just say i havent been giving it the time, attention, and care my faith needs...but after talking to him for a few minutes for the first time in a month or so, not even about religion or camp or anything....i got that little push from the back of my heart that says i need Him in my life.
as i was saying goodbye all he said was "goodnight, sweet dreams, i've really been praying for you a lot lately"
and it totally struck me. he helped me and started praying for me 2 summers ago. and now he still is praying for me.
that means the world to me.
i desperately wish i was at camp right now. up at wayside, or our spot on hillside. or on the bridge on my offnight. i need to find someplace i can go. the river isnt too safe. if anyone knows a peaceful yet beautiful place in atlanta i can go to pray or think, let me know.
