   * let's plan next summer together.

My best friend is moving to North Carolina on the fourteenth.
I thought it was just a joke, but Evan Kirby made it official.
Chalk Beast.

For a while I was so upset. So angry. so confused.
Then the words of my Uncle Kevin and Aunt Heather came back to me.
"This is not a good bye. This is a see you later."

Going to EFY really helped me. I'm not even the one moving!
I didn't know what I was going to do with out my friend.
I thought I would never see her again.

Then I read St. John 10. One of the verses says basicly:
I am the shepard of my sheep. They come when they hear my voice.

It was then when I realized that no matter where we go in this life,
as long as we follow the gospel of Jesus Christ, our Savior,
I will see my friend again.

Emilee Keele, you are amazing.
