Well... I have one day left... one day... tonight was really emotional... I love you guys so much! Tonight was encouraging to me in so many ways, it's so hard to say goodbye... but it's not goodbye, just see you later, right? I'm still in shock that I'm leaving in less than 36 hours to go to Baylor University, so many hours away, without my family, without my friends... this is definitely the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. But I must say, guys, that I am so excited. It's so difficult for me to leave home... but, I can't wait to find out what part of God's story I get to have at Baylor. Tonight after youth, all of us "graduates" (funny how now we're back to being freshman, eh?) had a time of prayer for one another (thank you for initiating it, Paul, you rock). The whole time we were praying I was thanking God that He blessed me with such wonderful people in my life. Thank you guys for supporting me and praying for me as I go on to something bigger than I ever could have imagined... I pray that you all will grow more and more in love with Christ every day... Please pray for me... I need all the prayer I can get. Let me know how I can pray for you, laugh with you, cry with you. I love you all so much... I'm not leaving you... I'm here for you if you need me. Mark Schultz's song Think of Me has kinda been my theme song this summer as I have been preparing to leave and go to school... it kinda shows where my heart is, though you have to hear it to get the full effect, the lyrics are all that I can provide at this point... I'll always love you... always.
Packing my bags this morning
was the hardest thing to do
But packing my bags was so easy
compared to standing outside your door right now
to say goodbye to you
Think of me
I know you've never seen me cry
Think of me
But it's so hard to say goodbye
Think of me
What can I say to show you
I'll never give up on you
I will be waiting for you
I will be there when you call
I will see you through it all
And even in your darkest hour
I pray that the Lord we've found
Will set you on solid ground
I know that it feels like leaving is a part of letting go
But I'm praying with hope and believing
That I'll see you once again down this road
I hope that it won't be long
Think of me
I know God brought you as a friend
Think of me
I know He'll bring you back again
Think of me
What can I say to show you
I'll never give up on you
I will be waiting for you
I will be there when you call
I will see you through it all
And even in your darkest hour
I pray that the Lord we've found
Will set you on solid ground
I will be there when you call
I will see you through it all
And even in your darkest hour
I pray that the Lord we've found
Will set you on solid ground

Hey there T, I don't think that i have ever been more sad to miss ROC on a sunday night, than i was last night. i am really gonna miss you, and I love you. Thank for the awesome times kid! peace out.
Tamara,
I wish you the best and will be praying for you also. Maybe when we go visit our son in Waco we can take you out to lunch.
Paul,
You can read my blog (not my latest, but there are a couple before that)--They should explain everything.
Sad day, Tamara. I'm going to miss you so much. I love that we are such good friends without ever having to feel obligated to spend massive amounts of alone time together. Thanks for always being there to listen or give a hug or whatever. I really enjoyed leading Speechless with you and all of the fun (and funny, no, hilarious) times we've had together. I still can't believe your leaving, but I know God is going to do amazing things at Baylor through you. Have an awesome time, say hi to the hot guy for me, and let me know how that modeling career is coming :-) I LOVE YOU!!!
