Baptized!

Dear World,

Sambica 2011 is approaching fast! I'm so excited to go back, but I've also been contemplating over the last year. Last June to this May. So much has changed. Other than everything around me feeling like it's been thrown into a blender on high, I know that I have become almost a different person. I'm not the same shy, quiet, and timid person I once was. I now have my identity in Christ. Today I was baptized and now I only wish to embody the Holy Spirit and when people look at me, I can only hope that they will see it in me. That's all I wish for this next year. In my life, my years have been dated according to the beginning of each summer. This last year has radically changed my life forever! But I'm also so excited for this next year. Because from this day forward, He will be everything I do, speak, and believe. There will be nothing that comes between me and the Father. He is not only my life, but my world. He is more precious to me than anything. There's nothing I wouldn't give up for Him. I've been baptized in the name of the Father, the Son, and of the Holy Spirit and all 3 of them will be with me for every single day of my life, till the day I die, and I get to go and live with Him in his kingdom. :)

I love you so much Lord! And even if no one understands this, You do, and that's all that will ever matter to me. Thank you! Thank you, thank you, thank you, for everything you've done in my life!

In Him,
Maddie Rose

Long Distances Don't Break the Friendship!

Dear World,

Something just hit me. I'm going back to sambica in almost a month. I was thinking about all the people I met there last year, and then I thought, they treat me like such a big part of their lives, and I am so far away. I can only see them every few months, and sometimes, not even that. I haven't seen most of them since November. And yet, they treat me like I'm such a ginormous part of their life. I don't really have a whole lot I want to share in this post, just that, even though we're separated by almost 2,000 miles we're still the best friends we've got.

Aaaaanddd, I'm really excited to be seeing them in 7 weeks!

In Him,
Maddie Rose
