Dear World,
2010 is gone, and 2011 is here. Well first off, I'm unfortunately sick this New Years. Me being sick kept me from going to my youth groups New Year's Party. I wouldn't have been upset about not going at all, but they have this thing called the Polar Plunge, where you have to stay in the pool the longest and you win 50$. I needed that money to go to SAMBICA next summer. I only had about 100$, but I spent a lot of that on Christmas, and now I'm down to about 60$. So, instead of only having to raise 250 after this New Years, I have to, somehow, get 350$ by April. (Donations Accepted!! :D )
I don't know how I'm going to do it, but I have a pretty cool God who can make anything happen. He'll provide me with a way to go.
Anyway, this New Years has been very bitter sweet. This year has been insane. From the transition to high school, to SAMBICA, family struggles, closed friendships, and new ones to take their place. I'm not really saying goodbye to anything. Only hello. I can only move forward from here. I've made wonderful friends from my summer camp. There's a fantastic support system for my family at church. And as much as I want to kill them sometimes, my friends here in the Coachella Valley are amazing, and I know they'll be there for me, no matter how much of a pain in their side I can be. Even though sometimes I can hurt them, break their hearts, lash out, ignore, and down right misstreat them. Through this past year, I've figured out who my TRUE friends, REALLY are.
Dear 2011,
I'm ready for all you have to offer me. I know there are big plans in store for me. I also know that this may be the hardest year of my life. But I'm just here to say, bring it on. Jesus is my rock, and He will get me through whatever you throw my way.
I'm ready. Are you?
Maddie Rose
