"No one is to return through the gate by which he entered but each is to go out the opposite gate."

me? blogging?! ha!

This is all new to me. The friends I met Christ with are only a phone call away yet, they seem so much further. Virginia Western is never what I expected. I guess you could say I like it better than I thought I would but it's just a completely different atmosphere than what I had at Cave Spring.

I can't seem to get enough of this school. I'm a freshman in college and right now I'm sitting in the cafeteria at the high school hanging out with one of my favorite sophomore girls. My mom just made fun of me but she doesn't quite understand my love for this place and my love for these students.

I was just thinking back to how much this place has changed. I'm not sure I could even express it in words. It's just like trying to describe how my brother has grown over the years. Yes, I can see that he is almost taller than me... but it isn't until I look back that I see how drastic the change has been over such a short period of time.

Freshman year. Must I say more? For those of you who remember... how awkward homecoming was or our first few campaigners where most of the girls there were only there to talk to Cliff. I was thinking about the lives that I've seen change in the past four years. And then when you look at the big picture, the whole community has changed around us. Cliff used to always say that our God is big so we need to pray big. He was right. Our God is bigger than I ever imagined. If He can use a handful of high schoolers to change the whole school of Cave Spring; to bring this school from darkness to light, then what's going to stop Him from conquering everything?!

Hope this wasn't too dreadful... thanks Kendall for everything! love you!
