I've posted a few other prayer requests concerning this subject before but things are a little differant now. You see, I haven't been keeping in contact with my best friend Michael for awhile now - things are just differant and I find it hard to talk to him at times, but that shouldn't make a differance I know. Late last November and early December we were trying to make basic plans to see if he could come up here and visist me during his "Spring Break". My Easter Vacaction is only 3 days I believe and with these "storms" hitting us here in Maryland we only have one more snow day left. Of course the so far plans was that I would find out if he could "shadow" me while at school. Not exactly shadow because there can't be any plans for him to attend (kind of hard with him living in NC). Talked a bit to Er- not sure what you would call him but he said he wasn't sure how that would go because Michael isn't a Christian, and I do attend a Christian school. With there being only a few months til Easter I really don't want to seem to eager and well "greedy" for him to come here. Yes, I'd do pretty much anything to meet him. I want to meet him because he just incredable, ugh- I don't know how to explain it. I can just really be myself around him, even if its only been online.I'm not afraid to say my best friend is someone I've never meet face to face. But also, I've never been good with talking online. Somethings just can't be said online. I really want to tell him more about the Lord, I want him to know who He is. And I'd love for him to meet my Pastor who is also my grandda in a sense that he was the only father figure my mum ever had and thus like a grandda to me (I lost my only grandda back in '94). But to get back to the point, I really don't know what to do. I mean, my parents had already said that they would love if Michael could come up here and him being here would be no problem at all. Its just his parents and the fact I have been very negilent on all of this. I also think my eagerness to "teach" him more about the Lord has gotten him to think I'm doing this more for me then him. And I can't begin to explain how much that hurts.
Sorry for making this long and such. And thank you for reading through all this. So if you will, please pray that I can take the time to listen to the guidance I know others have been trying to give me, that I'll still know enough that my plans won't always be God's plans, and please that my dear friend Michael see the goodness of the Lord.

"Tell me not, in mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dream!
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
and things are not what they seem.
Life is real! Life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou art; to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul."
-Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Thank you all. I've actually gotten a fairly lengthly letter written, couldn't sleep at all lastnight so I was up writting that. Been working on rewritting it nice and neat (wouldn't really mean as much if I just sent him an email or typed it up - at least thats how I see it) so mum can take it to the post office after she drops me off at school. I really hope I don't back out of it this time, sending it that is.
Also, I don't know if I should just start a new thread for this but my neighbors (Mr. & Mrs. Johnson) asked if we'd keep their daughter and son-in-law in prayer. Their daughter is having a hard time adjusting to having to take care of their children alone because her husband is in the miliatary and I believe two or three weeks ago he left to go to Iraq. She is also like her father, a work alochic.
Thank you again so much.

I'll be praying for Michael and your neighbors. I hope you did send the letter. If you didn't, I'll bug you about it in homeroom until you do. 
If he does come up and shadow you, we'll work on him! Just don't let Mr Gragg totally turn him off with all his rantings and ravings. Both of you could come to Torch with me! That's the Youth Group I go to on Sundays. It is so much fun. You should come anyway. It's tons of fun.

The choice has been made. There's no looking back. I won't let up, back up, give up, or shut up. My focus clear. My path is straight. My God, reliable. I'm a disciple of Christ.
Gods plan is like the sun. its too big and bright to look at directly, and sometimes the rain clouds cover it, but sometimes the plan dapples through the clouds and we can see beautiful glimpses of what he has in store for us.

Already told you the Er- "bad" news but I'm getting to rewritting it now! Well, after I type this... lol and thank you ^.^ We don't go to church every Sunday lately because of the weather- da doesn't want mum driving that far and such so I love that idea. I'd really like that either way. Heh, I'm getting ahead of myself again. Feels like its already certian that he's coming.
Tsk, tsk by the way. Being online while we have projects to do in class

I'll pray for your friend Michael and for your neignbors' daughter and son-in law. 
Our lives are but a vapor, let us not let waste our time and breath on vanities, but let us spend ourselves for the Kingdom, seeking a better resurrection.

Just so long as Mrs. Proffitt doesn't catch me. *shifty eyes*
Did you write it yet? *giggle*
