And For You... I'm Thankful

Someone in my life has always had an impact on me. 

 Ever since we were little I've been so close with this kid. No matter what is going on in my life i know that i can come to him. Be it just stressed out about school, mad at a friend or confused about a boy- He is always there for me.

His laugh can make me laugh instantly. Watching him do stupid stunts always makes me smile. Seeing him grow up from a little punk to a Jesus loving punk makes me proud. It makes me so happy to see us both growing up right beside each other.

 Even though these blogs are supposed to be written because i "get inspired" or something amazing happens in my life, i wrote one about him. I mean hey! he asked for it. But i thought about it and he does inspire me. Him in my life is an amazing thing. I could have never asked God for a better friend. I hope that he knows all of this. Even though i make fun of him, tease him, tell him how not buff he is, ignore him from time to time, and put cake in his face(only after he starts it)- He still is so important to me. And i hope he knows that.

It's been one of my favorite relationships.

There has been a lot of arguments

 but the laughs we've shared can 

cover those disagreements by a mile. 

i want you to realize

This blog is about something, or really someone, who has been on my heart a lot lately.
My older sister.

Have you ever had someone in your life who constantly is just amazing? 

Someone who is in love with Jesus and it is so evident?

Someone who has been through EVERYTHING , so they have all the answers?

Someone who even if they haven't been through it, they have the answers?

Someone who even though you don't talk to them for a month-once you do nothing has changed?

Someone who continually makes you smile?

Someone who can sit and cry with you?

Someone when somebody tells you, "don't tell anybody", you tell them?

Someone who is bold enough to tell you to get your act together, but 

Someone who can hug and love you like no one else?

WELL, that is my older sister for you.
I dont think that she knows how much i love her. I tell her yes, as often as i can, but still i dont think she knows. I dont think that she realizes that here in Hollister every morning when im getting ready i think of her. Every time i look in the mirror i see a letter that she wrote me Freshman year. It makes me thank God EVERY day for her.

She is So strong in her faith and not just that.

She is strong in...

Loving people in her life

Giving up her life for Christ

Being a good example

Making sure she laughs every day

Seeing the bright side of situations

&& in being here for me. 

These days we both are busy. We both have a lot on our plates but when i get to talk to her, be in a few texts or a 2 hour phone call- i love every second of it.
I just want to let you know, Aubrey that i love you. Today, tomorrow and FOREVER.

Come Home Soon.

She Is Trying...

She is trying
Sometimes she doesn't always get what she wants
But she gets what she needs
She is trying
Keeping peace is her number one goal
She is trying
To be all that's expected
To be that girl
She is trying
Laughing drys up her tears
but more laughs are heard than tears are seen
She is trying
Trying to maintain
Maintain all the steps to retrace her happiness
She is trying
But that might take too long
She is trying
Trying to get your attention
Screaming so loud but all that is heard is a whisper
She is trying
But quickly slipping.
Falling down this hill she's been climbing for so long.
She is trying
To get your love, wanted to badly.
Please just stand by me, cause i m trying.
