Michelle-

I just want to encourage you and tell you that God values when you try to reach out to people, even if they don't value it right now.  It's awesome that you were bold for God and did that.  I've prayed for you and for her.  She might come to accept God later in her life-- He will care for her.  He'll care for you, too. 

love,

Leah

Like Jay said at the Night of Selebration Event, you have to feel and know that you are ready to pass on Jesus to actually do it.  If you can do this, you can do anything.

love in Christ, Katie

It can be hard. Sometimes there is nothing that we can do for people aside of praying for God to change their hearts. Some people don't simple not set their hearts for God, they set them AGAINST Him. I know because I was one of them. It makes me sad that I was that way at one point in my life  but I am past that, I am new. Don't give up though! For me it was God softening my hard AND people that helped change my heart. Sometimes though it is best to give them some space. I will pray for her.

Hey guys, I am looking forward to seeing so many of you guys during the summer. I mean like i made so many friends there during the winter, and i could see the way God has worked through all of us. I can't wait for summer camp time to come, because not only to see you, but to get closer with God. I know that what i NEED to do, is to have the want to WANT to be right nex to Him, becuase I need God to help me through things. When we left the winter retreat, everyone was telling me that people would notice you've changed. And a couple of people noticed for the good, but i lost my best friend by trying to show her God. We are good now, but were at the point where she didn't even want to see my face. But after about two months she kindly came up to me and apoligized. She started going to her churches youth group, and i felt so happy for her,and had that sense of pride, that i helped her acheive that. but then just a couple of days ago, i invited her yo go to campus way at my school, and she was just all like noo.., i don't really want to. I don't really consider myself christian anymore, and she kept going on. I didn't hear the end half because i guess i just like froze, and i was heart broken. I tried talking to her, and gave her some scripture and she totaly blew up in my face, and was screaming at me. I guess that that would be my prayer request, is to help her come to God, and be sheltered by him. She's not angry with me anymore, but i want soooooo badly for her to have the relationship and love for and with God that i do. Just remember  that you cant only be praying to god, you need to be praying with him. I love you all. Michelle.

And remember, keep it vertical!!
