Well, my birthday's coming up pretty soon. In exactly nine days I will be 18! That seems really old to me. I don't know if I've reached the maturity level that I'm supposed to have at this age--I hope I have, but sometimes I still feel really young and confused. For example, yesterday I felt really stupid. I hate putting myself out there and than feeling rejected. Also, it sometimes amazes me the lengths to which people will sink in order to make themselves look better or cooler. Other than that, life is pretty much great right now. I've been trying to make my relationship with God more of a priority lately, and I feel closer to Him than I have for a long time. I have great friends to hang out with, the play is awesome and less stressful than I would have expected, school is going well, and all my college stuff is done. Even though people sometimes disappoint me, I never cease to be amazed at how awesome some are. Have you ever had that moment where you just completely click with someone else...whether it be a friend, boyfriend, teacher, whatever? That's an amazing feeling--knowing that at least in that moment another person totally understands and empathizes with you. Some of the people I have gotten to know better recently are so amazing, and I feel so blessed to be counted as one of their friends.

Hey hollly yea i know what you mean when you say that 18 feels old....LOL!!! you are so right about girls being vicious there are times where i can say girls being so mean and not to boys but to each other...its awlful. im glad that your relationship with God is growing that is such an awesome thing. God is so amazing and awesome and there are times we tend to just so take him for granted but he is anwesome person. by the way i miss you so much and i hope your senior year is great!

Dearest Holly, (and to whom it may concern) My heart is breaking and I don't even know you personally but I know of your situation through a friend online. As I came across the requests for prayers in your behalf, I felt the Spirit's draw. So I am here at their request and His request. This should reveal to you, when you come to read again, that God is working on your behalf. I'll probably carry you around in my heart as I venture forth today *tears* and lift you to Jesus as often as He brings you (and those you are hurting with you) to mind. My little puppy is here on my lap as I write this and is disturbed at my crying. But I offer my tears freely to you, to your family with love and mostly to God with prayers for a positive and full recovery. Since the Word tells us that His presence is ever with His children there is no need to request that but rather I will simply ask that He make His presence and comfort more fully known to you and your family along this path before you. And in doing so, that you may have His peace and hope in the midst of sorrows and uncertain moments. God bless you richly now and always. a sister in Christ, ~*sparrow*~

Holly...I don't really know you that well. I am in 6th grade at JCS. I just wanted to let you know that my friends and I are praying for you. **Get Well Soon**!!!!!!!!! Hannah

Hey Holls, just wanted to say... even though you won't read this for a really long time... that I love you and I'm praying without ceasing. So many others are too. God is a great God and I know You are resting in His hands. How great is our God? You'll know when you're able to read this...

- In His great love...----Cartch

Holly,

You and I never really had the chance to talk like Marie and I have. I just want you to know that I have always thought very highly of you. Your love for God is so evident in your life and your blogs are a ministry to Tiff and many others. Marie thinks you hung the moon and I think that you set such a good examply for her. I'm amazed when I read your last blog entry. The last thing you wrote about was making God more of a priority in your life. I was moved to tears. God is using you in great ways right now that you probably can't even fathom. He has such wonderful plans for your life. I'm excited to watch them unfold. You're in my prayers, sweet Sister in Christ. Get well soon!!!! You are so loved.
