Nov. 25, 2006 - Encouraging....
ok, Backround... This pas August my oldest brother Carter moved to Florida to finish school... He has also never really been interested in going to church on his own...
Last night my brother txted me asking if my dad was awake, I thought it was a weird question, but he wanted to call and talk to him... so he called and they talked for a while, after they hung up I asked my dad what that was all about and he just said that Carter wanted to talk because he is feeling really lonely, and home sick.
So I looked up a local church he's mentioned [but has never attended] and some verses I was just going to txt him the refrences, but I decided to call him. We have never been that close, because he's 7 years older than me we've really just always had the 'big brother' 'little sister' relationship. And I think now that I'm older things arent like that as much, so last night was the first time we actually talked about life like as friends not just as siblings. I am so thankful to God for that specail time we had and that we could really talk to eachother. I'm excited to get closer to my brother now and really be able to talk to him and encourage him in becoming closer to Jesus Christ. I am also SO thankful to God for putting this lonliness in Carter to make him want to visit this church *tomorrow*!
He's coming home for christmas break in a couple of weeks too! I cant wait to have him back :)

That's cool about your brother. It's so weird how sometimes you don't really notice your siblings as people. I am always amazed at how human my bro can act sometimes!lol

The campus is a Spanish language school. My dad teaches missionaries to be here and everybody that teaches or goes lives all together on a fenced in campus. It's fun! Like a big family, the bad thing is everybody knows everything about everybody else!
Your blog is cool too, I luv yur music!

Well, not into just any sports, just SEC football.
How old are you? What grade are you in?
Maybe we can get to know each other and be friends.
Yeah, some people think Brooke and I are twins.
But she's two years older than me. I will be 15 in April.
