Long, Long, Long Day

I attempted to wake up early today to start packing and getting ready for hume. yeah right! when you don't have a curfew, you stay out super late and wake up super late so I am still adjusting to that.
Then it was off to the cafe for five long hours. I ate lunch with Katie and Keira, laid on the floor and read a book about death (for one of Keira's classes at ASU) and made two whole drinks.
Small group was amazing tonight. I love the girls that I get to hang out with.
Rooted met for the first time tonight and boy was that a joy! Honestly I love it so much! I went to the dating class that was taught by the Sterbenzs (thats really hard to say) and I sat next to my new best friend Breanna. ha ha if i was only younger we could be better friends. oh gosh.
I really liked the dating class but it just stinks when you know what is right and everyone is telling you what is right but you really want to do what is wrong and a lot of times more fun.
As I gained and grew friendships today, I have to let go of other ones. I want to change people's lives and help them understand but thats not my job, that's Christ's job.
I was put on this earth to encourage others to know Christ, not attempt to transform people's lives while putting my own spiritual well being in jeopardy.
Life sucks sometimes but as I learned in 1 Peter, I will continue to live a life of hope because I have eternal salvation.
And that is something to be grateful for.

peace and love!
