today when i was shopping (yes, again, and YES it was frustrating again) i had a little encounter. a person i have not seen since may '04 was there. i turned a coner, and there he stood. whoa. he was actually polite to me and we talked for a couple of minutes. as i was leaving, i saw him again, and he smiled. it was crazy. now, this isn't just some random people i haven't seen since graduation. this is a person that i used to be best friends with. and for those of you who do not know, in december '03, i felt God leading me to stop hanging out with my two best friends. he was one of them. this was a hard choice to make, but God told me He needed to do something in my life. and wow did he ever! i look back on that night (december 15th 2003) and i look at how different my life is now. when i saw him, it brought back so many memories. we all had soooo much fun. but God needed me. i would probably be at UT or into "bad things" if it wasn't for that choice. it is so amazing how one choice can change your life. my life began to change the very next day. praise God for friends like Ellen Dent. and a wonderful church like Belle Aire. because of God and Ellen, i am where i am today. and i like it. even in the hard times. life is truly great. i am incredibly blessed. Praise God!

but yeah... and by the way, thanks to dr. bethany moore, i am feeling much better. that stuff was worth the $10!!! thanks!

i hope everyone is having a great night!
