Grace: My Big Sister

Yes I know, its a bit weird to call her my big sister considering certain circumstances but I think that's what our friendship closest resembles.

Anyways, one of the ways she resembles a sister is that she has always been there for me whether is was girl troubles, friendship issues, school complaints, or spiritual struggles. She has always listened and given me good advice or conversed with me about the spiritual things that confused me. Grace has never denied to help me. And for that I am very grateful.

One thing I've learned from Grace is that I should let God's will for me more important than I want to do. The summer before her senior year her dad got a job at CMDA requiring them to move to Tennessee. Not exactly what anyone would want for their senior year. But Grace knew that that is what God had for them and so she tried to make the best of it by going to camps, missions trips, and joining school clubs and whatnot. I wouldn't have done anything of the sorts if I were her. I would have pretty much just sat and waited for college quite honestly. But Grace didn't and I learned a lot from her. Especially about the future. I like things going the way I want them to. If I had a choice I would live a normal life my whole life and retire early. But the way Grace responded to God's call to their family showed me that I should be willing to change my plans. I should be willing to go wherever God calls me to go.

Much like Adam's blog I could go on and say a lot more things about Grace, for example, the fact that for some reason she is still me and Adam's friend although we tease her relentlessly. But that would take up a lot of time and space and you guys would get bored I assume. So I'm going to end this simply by saying, thanks. Thanks Grace for all you've helped me through and all you've taught me!
