It's so hard to be away from Missouri at this particular moment! My best friend is taking a step of obedience and proclaiming what God has done in her life by getting baptized today!
I have known her since I was ten years old. She moved in next door to us and came running up my hill, asking to play. We were instant friends, and I could not have known how big of a part she would play in my life! She's seen me through all stages of my life and been there for me through it all. Maybe that was because I could always see her bedroom light on when I needed to talk :)
God really blessed me with an amazing friend like her, but God has blessed me with an even greater gift! I know that my best friend has dedicated her life to the Lord!! I am so thankful to the Lord for bringing Stephanie to Him and I was able to witness it. I am so thankful to our small group at Church for helping her in this journey.
It's hard not to be there for this incredible moment in your life, Stephanie, but know I am rejoicing for you! And I cannot wait to rejoice with you in Heaven for eternity!
This is a video I made for you to celebrate this amazing day!
Oh my gosh. I love you! This has me in tears! You were here in spirit for sure and will always be in my heart! I can't wait to rejoice with you in heaven for eternity and teaching all the children "animorphs" and tetris. haha
ReplyDeleteI can't even begin to explain how good of a friend you are. And you were able to help give me the one thing in my life I needed the most, God. And now that I have taken a huge step in obedience I am ready to come and be by your side glorifying God! I am so thankful that you have given me our small group to help disciple and mold me into an Authentic Christian while you are gone! I could go on and on about how great it has been having you as a friend and how much I look forward to the future of what God has planned for us! :)
