Hm... funny thing, that

I don't have friends...
Or so, I told Austin Curry tonight at Logan's. He asked if I had friends at school, and the automatic response came something like this: Lord, no.

I was, yes, reading through some old posts. Okay, I am a nerd, but you know, I think it's good to do that once in a while. Just to see how God changes things over time. So, whether or not you remember what I posted on the eleventh of August, I am going to talk about it today.

Today, after choir, I asked Makenzie to walk with me to class. She did, and after she told me some stuff, she asked what I had wanted her for. So I told her. I had a test the next hour, and I hadn't even finished the reading for the unit, let alone study, and I was really nervous and scared. Then, I did something that up until about three or four weeks ago would have been unthinkable. I asked her to pray for me. Her face just lit up and she readily agreed.

After fourth, I saw her again and she was asking how the test went. So I told her that, thank God, we had choices (it was an essay exam) and I found one that I could answer pretty well. She smiled widely and said something along the lines of "you know, I've learned since going to India, that prayer is really powerful."

Two minutes later i found myself doing the unthinkable again. I told her that I hadn't liked her for about two years, but since we both got back to the states, well, that I had pretty much just grown to love her as an amazing sister in Christ. She gave me a huge hug, we promised to get together for coffee (we both had to go) and I gave her my number. OH MY WORD. Kenzie prayed for me guys! Do you realize how amazing that is? Maybe not... Well, long story short, I have never liked Makenzie (reasons I dont' have time to go into). But since Costa Rica, well, things have been whacked here at home.

I have friends guys. Isn't that crazy cool? Hannah, Makenzie, Kara, Alyson. It's pretty much insane. This summer I thought I would have no friends at school. In fact, I was basically dreading the year. But here I am happy to report that God does wonders and I have found friends in the very people that I dreading meeting this year.

Not only is amazing to me that God can orchestrate all of that, it is amazing that, well, just that he was able to change me and my heart, always, all for the better. And the other thing? well, I don't think I prayed about it. My word, I wouldn't be surprised if Austin did, (laughs) because he prays about everything (which is cool). But someone must have prayed about it. must have. and it's like Kenzie said, prayer is a powerful thing.

call me sometime
