God is showing how much he loves me! Day 5

Went through more training today. I am just about sick of training. I just want campers to come so bad. I want to be busy and just get this summer going and over with.

I know that I don't want to rush it, and I want to remember everything that God has to teach me this summer. But I just really want it to go fast so I won't be bored.

I had a great night tonight. We got a break tonight here at camp and had to leave and go somewhere. I met my Family at the mall in Asheboro. We went to dinner, went to the mall, and then we played pool. I had a great time. I felt bad because I couldn't show it as much as I really wanted to. I couldn't show them how much it meant to me to be able to see them. I tried my best to not let missing Evan affect me. It sort of did though. By the end of the night, I told them I was sorry for not being able to be completely happy for them when they came to see me. I told them I was just so overwhelmed and stressed from not seeing Evan. They completely understood and told me everything was going to be ok that they were proud of me for staying. My daddy just held me and told me he loved me and then he told me that Evan was missing me too, that it wasn't just me. He told me that it would all be ok. This made me feel so good. My Mom did also! She is awesome too, and I am so thankful for her also! And also my sister. She gave her up afternoon and night to come see me. We haven't really been that close lately, but it meant a lot to see her and spend some time with her.

But it really made me think and relate this to God and the Bible. When ever we are upset and sad and think we can't go on, God is ALWAYS there for us, even though we can't see him, he is there. He is the only one who knows exactly what we are thinking, and is there for us. I cry to him and he will always be there. My daddy will just hold me and tell me that he loves me and that everything is going to be ok.

To know that I have two daddy's (& a mom) that will always be there for me to lean on makes me relax a lot more. Even though I still miss Evan so much, to know that I have friends and Family to lean means the world to me!

Here are some verses that prove GOD will always be there. And he proves it through his word!

Exodus 22:23

If you do and they cry out to me, I will certainly hear their cry. 1 - O LORD, the God who saves me, day and night I cry out before you. ² May my prayer come before you; turn your ear to my cry. ³For my soul is full of trouble and my life draws near the grave.

2 Chronicles 20:9
'If calamity comes upon us, whether the sword of judgment, or plague or famine, we will stand in your presence before this temple that bears your Name and will cry out to you in our distress, and you will hear us and save us.'

I also Got a Text tonight right as I was getting ready to post this from Evan. All I can say is.. I am so glad something as simple as a few words means to mean. I can sleep better now!

Please keep praying for Evan & I as we both go through this life changing experience.

Thanks!!
