Just five

Last night was my last night in the youth group. I knew it might be emotional for me leaving and all, but I had no idea to what extent. I was holding back tears all through the songs, and then through Aaron's message on prayer, and then he asked me to come forward and the leaders and the seniors stood around me and prayed for me on my trip.Once the tears started, I cried the whole time. I didn't even try to suppress it. I felt so touched by the whole expierence. Wow. I haven't ever been prayed for like that. It was exactly what I needed. I thought about the people surrounding me..I am lucky to know you all. Thanks, Aaron and to evryone who prayed. Thank you. I know I cried, but it wasn't because I was sad, nessacarily. I mean I have never been so touched. Alright, I am about to change the subject because it's that or cry again. But, just wanted to let you know how huge it was for me.

Kaley is graduating tonight. I am so excited for her and proud of her. Kaley and I have been friends for a long time and I know she is gonna leave soon for college...alright, this is turning into the most depressing blog ever. I will miss her. She is gonna do great things, I can feel it. Excited for her. Alot of bittersweet times lately. Geez.

Okay, well, I have just five days. I won't lie, even though I am leaving all I know here in the US, my excitement is mounting for what is to come. Inside I have peace about the trip. God is so good. All day long I have been singing this little chorus we do at church sometimes.

Be at rest, be at rest once more
O my soul, for the Lord has been good
Be at rest, be at rest once more
O my soul, o my soul
Be at rest once more
For the Lord has been good to you
