Greetings from S.C.
Well, these past few days have been very busy. I graduated, moved to a new state and had to say goodbye to everyone I love. I had alot of mixed emotions about leaving because I was excited about being a family again, yet it hurt so bad to leave everything I've ever known. But as I look back, I see how God has used so many people to influence my life and that will better prepare me for what His plan is for me here. Even though my heart felt like it was breaking, I knew that God is in full control and that true friends will always be there no matter where I am. I can't wait to see what God has in store for me here. I want to get involved in my new church and make a difference somehow. If there's one thing I've learned it's that my relationship with God shouldn't depend on where I am. Fairview is a great place and I'm so thankful I was raised there, but just because I left doesn't mean that my relationship with God should stop becoming my top priority. God wants to use us wherever He places us. Today I started the book of Ruth and I have to admit that this is one of my favorite Bible stories. It's so encouraging to see how God worked everything out, even though there were hard times and uncertainties God was always faithful. Well, I miss you all and remember to pray for my youth group. They are leaving for Mexico on Sunday. You can link to their website through mine, so check it out and see how God is working. Well, there are about ten boxes in my room that need to be unpacked so I will post again soon.

Jenni, I cannot tell you how my heart broke the day I said 'goodbye' to all of you but I know there is a purpose in everything God does in our lives. You will finally be together again..all in one place and that makes me very happy for you. I hope you have a wonderful summer and will see you soon. All my love! (BTW - It's me, Ginger, had to post anonymously, I forgot password, Duh!!)
YOUR youth group is going to Mexico too? And leavin on the same day! That's so cool! Maybe we will see them there.
Ohh Jenni, just kidding! We will always be your youth group. (Except your not really in a youth group anymore.) Passwords seem to be a problem issue with your family, huh.
Hey!! Miss you already!! I, too, am reading the book of Ruth. I started reading the book "Unshaken" by Francine Rivers to the kids, which is about Ruth. You need to read it too!! The kids just got back from their first Camp Fairview experience! We are so glaaad to be here! Take lots of care.
