It's time for another random, out of the blue update.
Before I officially update, I have something to say. ---
Dear David-
You are loved, Mr. Gillespie.
Everyone feels alone, and abandoned at times. Especially when you're sinking into sin faster than you can say "help!". I really hope you weren't thinking of me when you wrote what you did... because I am here. I know we haven't talked in awhile, and it seems like we're drifting away from eachother, but I still count you as my best "guy" friend, and I don't believe that I'll ever think otherwise. I am making a point to tell you what's been going on in my life because I care about our friendship. It really is important to me. You are important to me. I'm not going to let you go easily. By the way.... don't let the devil get you down, buddy. You are incredibly insightful and totally, completely genuine when it comes to your relationship with Christ. We all have our struggles. Some are more diffucult and seemingly never ending than others, but with a lot of prayer, and trust in the Maker, we perservere... and conquer our sin. Okay, all of that to say this, Squid. Long story short, I am here for you... even if it seems like I'm a million miles away. You have a firm grip on Jesus' hand, and no sin, no matter how big or small, will take that away. I love you a whole lot more than I can explain. Stay strong and carry on. "We are pressured in every way but not crushed; we are perplexed but not in despair; we are persecuted but not abandoned; we are struck down but not destroyed. We always carry the death of Jesus in our body, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body." -- 2 Corinthians 4:8-10
:) --- Alright. So last night I slept over at SLD's house and it was full of fun times. Today, I spent most of my day with her. This was all to celebrate her eighteenth birthday, which is, in actuality, tomorrow. But of course we couldn't celebrate then, since there happens to be a holiday on that same exact date. Imagine that :). So, basically Sara's birthday extravaganza was an intense, adventure-packed endeavor that consisted mostly of: Disney Mania, James Bond, London/Greece reminiscings, Laura Drama, Taco Bell, more James Bond, RISK, sleep interrupted by the chinchillas, crazy conversations, even more James Bond and RISK, Hot Pockets, Anna conversations, Starbucks, crazy traffic on Watson, deep conversations, and finally, reading the latest Ellen Hopkins in the middle of the kids section at BAM :). She actually liked my gift, which wasn't much- a journal, a few pens, and a large bag of Sour Patch Kids. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. I am thankful for:
Jesus Christ, good friends, great family, smooth sailing through Life, constant chatter, sound advice, chaotic schedules, my job, interesting books and movies, acoustic music, quiet nights, cute, witty boys, long walks, Gossip Girl, good food, MySpace messaging, clever remarks, laying in the quiet, sincerity, my freedom and the ones who protect it, fantastic quotes and geunine love. And much more :). I love you all, and Happy Thanksgiving!Katie |
