Once upon a time, two little girls grew up together. They went to each others' houses a lot, and spent the night often. They got to do a lot of cool things together:
They went to a horse farm when they were little. And one time, they were pirates:
They were very apart of each others' lives. They had a pretty cool childhood together. When they got just a little older, they decided, "hey, we actually like being friends." As if they didn't already do a lot together, they started doing more and more together. They became apart of so much. One thanksgiving, they even spent the night with each other! These girls were inseparable!
Over the next few years they had some pretty cool adventures:
 |
| they got cool Indian shirts at a festival |
 |
| they got to go to the zoo together! |
 |
| oh and one time, they were ninjas for a while |
 |
| they were free entertainment to their families, because they're just so funny |
 |
| they made each other laugh, a lot! |
 |
| they made messes... |
 |
| ...and new friends |
 |
| and then, they graduated...TOGETHER! |
They're grown up now. (Note, not ALL grown up ;)) And that crazy red-headed girl is off following the greatest call of her life: making disciples. She will be leaving the country soon. She's been gone for a few months, training already, and the other girl misses her terrible. But more than all that missing, she is so proud of her. Because she can't imagine having all these wonderful memories with someone more amazing! This ginger is another sister. Loved by her family, and cherished by so many. They're still very dear friends, and skype once a week as time allows. But on the edge of adulthood, they see how the Father is working to use them best to His glory in different parts of the world. Although the girl is sad to see her friend leave for a time, she can't imagine her firey-haired, partner in crime doing anything less than EXACTLY what The Lord wants of her.

I love you so much girl and I'm praying for you as you GO! :)
