Hey everyone!

here's something I just wrote in my journal yesterday, and decided I might as well make it into a blog post:

So it was Melissa's last Sunday at church yesterday. Soon she'll be leaving for university. It's so weird to think of my friends going off to different cities for university. I just want to feeze time--make everything stop. there have only ben a couple times I've wanted to stop time.

Wen Ali and I talk for hours at sleepovers.

When Mommy and I were on a walk together--just the two of us.

Chatting with one of my friends in a raspberry field eating all the while.

Singing with the kids in Africa.

The really nice times. the little things that--at that time--make your world. It's hard to explain. I feel like an idiot whenever I try to explain it. but I think everyone feels it. everyone has that one time--whether it was a split second or a year--that they wish they could live for the rest fo their lives. During that time they know they're safe, and nothing bad will happen.

Because to them, that *s e c o n d* was *p a r a d i s e.*
