Depression

Well I realize that in the last blog I had the title of the song wrong. Sorry, the lyrics are right though. Well last night was the last time 2 of my friends would perform in our youth group. Just about everybody cried whether it be before, during, or after. It was sad. The girl that is leaving was really an inspiration to me(whether she knows it or not). We've only been close friends for a couple of months but it still makes me sad that she is leaving. Then the guy that is leaving well he's just funny. I've known him for ages! I'll miss him to! But I had been praying that the Lord would help me to not be selfish & to be happy for them. To realize that they now get to take what they learned & put into practice. I was thinking last night about everything that has happened here lately & made a promise with God not to be depressd & not to dwell on what's happened but to look forward to what is going to happen. Like them coming home.

I wonder what I'm going to be like next year. When my close personal friends leave. Then I think about all the good times I've had with them & I start thinking about next summer. I can see this whole school year flash before my eyes to next summer. But then I think of Phil. 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength" That verse is really proving true to itself. It is definitly a good one to know.
