My best friends...

are amazing!!! So these are my best friends! The girls from left to right: Reesa, me, AJ, Alysha and Nicole. The guys from left to right: Mark, Randy and Alex. It's crazy how we all came to be best friends. We all met randomly and were brought together by God and music. Each one of them is unique in their own way and are all sooooo stinkin talented! It's ridiculously amazing! :) These people saved my life! Yes they did!

Before I met them, I was this person who was very reserved and held so much in. I felt like I was suppose to just come to school and go back and help out my family which isn't bad at all. I don't know, I was bound by culture and what the norms had for me. I had my script written out for me: go to school, get a degree and then come home and put your sisters through college. I thought the plan was cool, but was that it? Is that all life has to offer me? So, as those questions were sitting in the back burner of my mind, Mark introduced me to the band. And there, I met all these great people. I met AJ and Reesa a little later, but they too have made an impact on my life as well. These people showed me that God has great plans for all of us... and in order for those plans to unfold, we gotta trust in God and let him take over.

I remember hearing this one sermon about the plans that we have for ourselves. The preacher encouraged and challenged us to instead of laying down our agenda to God and seeing what He thinks about it, why not just give God a blank sheet of paper and see what He has in store for us? So right now, I made the decision to just wait and see what God has for me. My best friends helped me realize that there is so much out there that God has for us... we shouldn't just settle because God only offers the best... He's GOD! So, right now, I'm just trusting and believing that God will come through not only for me, but for my best friends as well. Every day I thank God for these 7 people... I've learned so much from each of them!

I learned how to look more like a girl from my amazing sisters Cole and Lysha! haha! :) I learned how to be more laid back like Mark.. I learned to keep trying til you get it from Randy... I learned to try to stay on top of things from Alex and I was reminded to do everything not for myself but for God from my sisters AJ and Reesa. I've learned much more from each of them, but these are the first things I learned from them when I first gotten to know them :) Bottom line: I love these guys so much! They're my family away from family.. the sugar in my cool-aid! kidding.. :) There's so much more to say... but I'll save that for later!!!!
