What Would I Say?

Love146
what would you say?

Dear Love 146,

I heard about you almost exactly a year ago from today. J.R. was speaking about you at a camp in Alabama I had gone to. Immediately it brought back a story I had not wanted to be reminded of. As a matter of fact, I had gone to the camp that week to try and shake the story that I had been told previously. But I guess God sure does have other plans. I felt the need in my heart to find out more about you. Following the service, I walked straight up to our speaker, J.R.. I asked him, what can I do? Being 14, I felt like the little kid who doesn't know anything, and seems to always ask the silly questions. He told me more about you, and told me to go look at the website that was created for you, to try and save you. I thanked him. He told me later in our conversation that he was encouraged that I was willing. Willing to do something more. I'm so, so sad to hear that you haven't been found. My heart still breaks at the mentioning of you. I want to help, I want you to be found. I want slavery to be GONE. I wish you were able to live a life like I have. I'm so blessed, and sometimes I forget it. There have been other girls who have been saved though! All because of you. I wish you would have been saved. I hope that you're still alive, even. I want God to save you. I want you to know that God loves you. I want you to know, I'm not giving up. I am going to do whatever I can to try to help you, and others. Know that I've never forgotten about you since I've heard your story. I pray for you, I wish I could tell you that I love you, someone cares about you. You aren't someone who is worth nothing. There's a Man who died for you. Someone who loves you. Past, present, and future. Please. Please, know that there are people who are fighting, everyday, to try to find you. And to rescue girls, who are like you. I hope to maybe hear that you are safe someday, soon.
Sincerely,
~Believer in PRTC

WHEN A SOLDIER COMES HOME



....he finds it hard....



....to listen to his son complain about being bored.







....to keep a straight face when people complain about potholes.











....to be tolerant of people who complain about the hassle of getting ready for work.











....to be understanding when someone complains about a bad night's sleep.











....to be silent when people pray to God from a new car.











....to control his panic when his wife tells him he needs to drive slower.











....to be compassionate when a businessman expresses a fear of flying.











....to keep from laughing when anxious parents say they're afraid to send their kids off to summer camp.







....to keep from ridiculing someone who complains about hot weather.







....to control his frustration when a colleague gripes about his coffee being cold.







....to remain calm when his daughter complains about having to walk the dog.







....to be civil to people who complain about their jobs.







....to just walk away when someone says they only get two weeks of vacation a year.







....to be forgiving when someone says how hard it is to have a new baby in the house.





The only thing that's harder than being a soldier....



....is loving one.

May God bless my friends, and those I don't know who serve faithfully.

Downstairs

Here's something that's fun-describing the room your in.
I'm sitting on a the farthest left side of the couch. Downstairs. Right next to my brother. My brother is next to Joseph. (Katie's brother) And Josh (another friend of ours) who is laying down is next to him. It's actually a rather funny picture. Joseph has a black and orange striped blanket on top of him, while Josh is wearing a towel (no worries, there's also a swimsuit) and laying with a pillow under his head on Joseph's knee. It's quite funny. Jessica is somewhere on the ground, not to sure where, I can't see her from where I am. As well as Anna is sitting on a mound of pillows next to me. We are down in the "man cave" watching Marley and Me. As I found out, a rather awkward movie to watch with three teenage guys. Right in front of me is a white square table almost directly symmetrical with the fireplace and the t.v. on top of that. The fireplace is beautiful. It's got a lot of stone placed randomly throughout the whole shindig. A dart board is to the right of it, hanging on the wall. Last night I totally whooped Joseph in a game. Minus the permanent hole in the wall. Zach's guitar is to the left of the fire place, and then all of the electronic things beside that. Then, the fuse ball table, that no one has played with...yet. I'm sure we'll fix that tonight.
I'm to lazy to try to describe anything more. Ha.
We got two new amazingly, awesome, spectacular jet skies!!! They go SO fast! I'm in love...
See ya,

Our Journey

Well, I'm up at the lakes for the weekend. We had a very eventful ride here. A car trip that was only supposed to take 2 hours, ended up taking 5. Crazy right?
Our boat's trailer's tire blew...apparently no one seems to want to carry the size we needed. Eventually we found one (after about a hour of searching) and changed it.

And by we, I mean the three teen guys who are with us.

The before tire on the ground and the new tire on and changed.

Needless to say, we were all very glad we prayed for safety on our ride up :) Gladly, we got here.
That's it for now, I'll post more later!
