Cilla

Last night I said good- bye to Cilla. She's moving to Pennsylvania to fulfill what she feels is God's Will for her life. I'm happy for her... yet I am sad... Sad because she's my friend and I just so happen to like her just a little bit. We've known each other since we were a year old and even though there've been things that have got in the way sometimes (moving... etc...) we still end up back as bf's :) so Cilla's very important to me and I love her... I'm going to miss her. ALOT. I've already had several episodes of tears... and I know I'll have more. But I am proud of her for doing what God wants! I wouldn't hold her back from doing God's Will for anything. HE is the most important person and HE is the only One who matters.

Cilla, we've grown up together, we've laughed and cried... we've seen good times, we've seen bad... we've went from playing house, to driving... we've talked about everthing from food to science... we've learned to trust in Jesus, and to follow after His perfect Example... we've found God's Will for our lives...we've learned to fly... We're going seperate earthly paths for now, but we'll still be on the same course... We're going due north... right towards our Heavenly Home where we will be together for always!

May God be near to you as you make this adjustment and settle into your new life. With much love and support,
Holly


A song that fits so well...

Friends are Friends Forever
Michael W. Smith

Packing up the dreams God planted
In the fertile soil of you
I can't believe the hopes He's granted
Means a chapter of your life is through

But we'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
'Cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong

And friends are friends forever
If the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say never
'Cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long
To live as friends

And with the faith and love God's given
Springing from the hope we know
We will pray the joy you live in
Is the strength that now you show

We'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
'Cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong

And friends are friends forever
If the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say never
'Cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long
To live as friends
