| Wow, it's been forever since i've written in this thing...But an update for all of you who still read.
Well, the only big thing that really happened this summer was CHICAGO. -- and it was absolutely amazing. -It literally changed my whole perspective on life.
-I met this little girl at VBS, Brittany, she was a third grader, very cute, very shy...reminded me of myself when I was her age. -Well you see, Brittany and I became very close during that week; and she got to the point where everywhere I went, she would go..and the last day that we held VBS with the kids...I started to cry, because I knew that I would most likely never see her again. Well she looked up at me and she asked me why I was crying, and I told her that I was going to miss her very much, and that I loved her..
--She kind of looked at me like, "why are you saying this to me, no one has ever said anything like that to me before." - and she didn't say anything back.
---Well about 5 minutes later she looked up at me and she started to cry, and she told me that she loved me too..
-And well, at the time I didn't know it, but after we got back on the bus, I was still crying and everyone was asking me "why"...and one of the guys told me that she didn't have a very good home life. Her mom had a different "guy" every night, she didn't know her biological father, and she had been abused. --right then and there I just stopped, I felt my heart drop for this little girl and I realized, wow, my life isn't as bad as I thought it was..infact, my life isn't bad at all...= yes, sometimes things dont go right, but that little girl made me realize how good I actually have it, and that I shouldn't feel sorry for myself, because you never know...the one time that you are feeling sorry for yourself, could very well be the one moment that somebody really needs you, and you won't be there, because you'll only be thinking about yourself...
--thanks for the time.
GODBLESS.
