Life is funny sometimes.

I guess thats what makes it worth living.

College is great.

You know.. friends are beautiful, although REAL friends seem to number in few these days. But I've learned just in the last month that its the quality of those who walk beside you, and definitely not the quantity.

I love you guys.

My bestfriend left today.
I'm sad, but I can't be too sad.

Because God has blessed me with such a wonderful friend, whom I love very much! She just "gets me," you know? Its funny that when we met a month ago we were both TERRIFIED. lol. But here we are, just weeks later, exhausted from talking on the phone until almost 4 am. I can just pour my heart out to her, and she'll just listen intently, and then offer the sweetest, most sound advice.

She's a God-send, and I honestly hope that one day I can be as much of a blessing to her as she has been to me.

And He totally intended us to both have Verizon!

My bestfriend in the entire world is moving to Texas tomorrow...

If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up.  --Ecclesiastes 4:10

I can't even tell you how many times she has helped me up.

Texas feels an awfully long way away.

I've heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know I'm who I am today
Because I knew you:

Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
I have been changed for good

It well may be
That we will never meet again
In this lifetime
So let me say before we part
So much of me
Is made of what I learned from you
You'll be with me
Like a handprint on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend:

Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a skybird
In a distant wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you:

Because I knew you:

I have been changed for good

And just to clear the air
I ask forgiveness
For the things I've done you blame me for

But then, I guess we know
There's blame to share

And none of it seems to matter anymore

Like a comet pulled Like a ship blown
From orbit as it Off it's mooring
Passes a sun, like By a wind off the
A stream that meets Sea, like a seed
A boulder, half-way Dropped by a
Through the wood Bird in the wood

Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
I do believe I have been changed for the better

And because I knew you:

Because I knew you:

Because I knew you:
I have been changed for good.
