Quick Visits And Amazing Friendships

Some of you may not know this, but recently my youth pastor Stephen, a man whom I love with all my heart,  moved to Utah. This week though he was back visiting for the holidays! No doubt about it, it was the highlight of my week, I've been looking forward to the day he came back to visit since the day he left.

Stephen means the world to me. Heck my entire youth group means the world to me. I can honestly say that I have no clue where I would be if it weren't for them. Sometimes I sit around and think "You know I really wish I was with my youth group right now. I think people think they are my only friends...Eh oh well."  I mean I have the most fun with them. God placed all of us together for a reason, and I think one of the reasons is for all of us to have people that we can lean on in troubled times.

I'm not much of an emotional person or I don't show it, but today that side of me came out, and the only reason I was ok with it was because I was being emotional around my youth. I saw Stephen and I ran to him, gave him a big hug, and I shed tears...tears of joy. Maybe a bit over dramatic, but you don't understand how much this man meant to me, how much he still means to me, and how greatly I have missed him.

I just can't get over the amazing people God has blessed me with. All these people from my youth mean more to me than they will ever know. My youth group, my youth pastors, and my church family will always and forever mean the world to me.
