I texted a few of my friends the other night saying that I missed them. One of my oldest (and dearest) friends texted me back and said that her and my other friends have a surprise when I get home after the summer. :) I am super excited to see them and of course I love surprises!
I got a chance to spend the past weekend in the springs for a reunion for FLI. It was so great to see some of my old classmates and meet other alumni. The first day was just so surreal and my heart and head were just all in a boggle. It was so strange to be back at the institute without all of my friends but there with some of the same professors and staff. There was so much love there too! It was great to be embraced in such a great community while out there for 4 months and then a reminder. We ended the weekend in my friends kitchen talking. Alums representing 2008 -2011and it was so great to sit there and have such good deep conversations...it was kinda like I had never even left. Different people but same effect. The weekend reminded me of great community and friendships like God intended. My friend Jarid came out from California and I hadn't seen him in over a year and it was like we just picked up. Same with some other classmates that came and same with the staff. The experience I had out there was so amazing and I love having the constant reminders of how God is blessing me with these friendships.
And to top it all off I got back to camp and got a care package from some of my friends from home. Full of tons of fun random nifty things and it was so great :) I love all my friends and although some are far away they are still in my heart always. So shout out to all of them and I hope to see many of them when I go home soon :)
And I guess I could end with some fun/corny friendship lyrics or quote then too huh??
I'll be there for you, when the rain starts to pour.
I'll be there for you, like I've been there before.
I'll be there for you, cause you're there for me too.
