Friends

Wow God is so good to give me amazing friends. :) I love all of them so super much. Today I am officialy making friends friday on my blog. Brilliant, I know. So I am going to pick a couple of my close friends and write something I admire/appreciate in them. (ill do this next week to so if your not on here and are devestated, no worries you probly will be.) It's going to be hard keeping it relatively not-as-long-as-a-novel so wish me luck....

Martha Machowski: <3 She is the best friend ever. We have known each other since I was like.. hmmm... 3 or 4 and we've been best buddies ever since. I know her in and out, and love her. She is godly, kind, generous, smart, sarcastic, and yet still manages to be utterly and hopelessly gullible. (how she does it, i know not) I have a million and one funny stories with her. (pouring ice cream on kt, seeing certain people at Target, rubber rats, prank nights, heehee, M's, remember that one where kt and Emma hung something ahhemm in the window and got in big trouble for it?? fun times) Also, she is always there for me. Whenever I am having a hard day or need prayer for something, I always call her. And she listens to me even if I am making no sense. Even after going on this church plant, me and her are as close as ever. She is a wonderful example to me in so many different areas, and I have learned an awful lot from her. <3

Talyn Demi: Well. Daisies. This girl is the best. I just got to know her this past year cuz we went on the church plant together! :) I didn't think it was possible to become such good friends with someone in such a short time, but it is. There are so many things I appreciate/admire in her it's sort of impossible to pick just one. So i'll try and fit as many as possible in a reasonable amount of space. :D First, she loves God. She just got saved at Youth Camp (!!!) and whenever I am around her, I am convicted in areas where I can grow, she is such a great example to me. I have grown a lot in my relationship with God since I've known her. Next, she is so sweet and kind. And tremendously fun. There is not one time I am with her that I don't have a hilarious story to go with it.. to name a few.... falling in mud puddles, getting paint in my hair (that still hasn't come out), having extremely confusing (oh, and embarrassing) chats, dying laughing on the hammock, the fire alarm, outreaches... and many more. She is such a wonderful, encouraging friend and i am so thankful to know her!!! (and we need to have a sleep-over soon)

Emma Blake: Oh dear. Where shall I start? With Emma it is very hard to pick a place to start. I just got to know her recently too, because of the churchplant (yes, the church plant is totally awesome). But, it really seems like I've known her all my life. Anyway, there are lot's of things that describe her but honest, genuine, and caring are the ones that come first to my mind. She cares a lot about other people, and that is apparent in how she acts, and what she says. She is such an easy person to talk to, and I so appreciate that in her. Also, one thing I <3 about her is that she doesn't butter up the truth, but tells it to you frankly. ("Becky, you need to lost weight." heeheee. jk) but seriously, she is so very genuine. We know a lot about each other's lives and I always feel comfortable telling her stuff. One more thing.. she just got saved this year at yc too!!!! (<3 youth camp) and I can see her desire to grow with God. :) Now for the funny stuff (no, I didn't forget it) hmm... dancing to Taylor Swift, hanging upside down for 15 mins (for real, we did that) talking about who's going to come to our funeral, disscussing life (and GP), making umm cookies, going on walks, soap-opera-like conversations, outreaches, and oh so many more.

Anyway, that's all for now cuz this already took me an eternity to write and I should be studying Bible Quiz right now. So thanks for reading and to Martha, Talyn, and Emma, <3 u and thanks for being wonderful friends!!!!

coming next week: Rachael Pope, Mary Mox, and Emma Machowski :D
