~She's So Good~

I have this friend. This friend is named Erin. Erin is 19 years old and is a 2nd year student at Brock University. Erin is like none other, she is talented, gifted, smart, funny, personality beyond the stars and a charisma that is beyond any other. I have known Erin for about 4 years I think....? haha I have a very bad memory! It's not my fault, I only have my mothers genes to blame! I'm pretty sure that it was either at school or at church that we met. And her story is kinda like to how I met Ben http://alysha-365daysoftheunknown.blogspot.com/2011/06/you-were-best-thing-thats-ever-been.html. The only thing different though is that we went to the same school and were with the same people everyday.

Now for the longest time I always thought that she didn't like me. And why, you may ask? Well it's because I was good friends with her boyfriend at the time Nick. Well this only led me to think that we were never gonna be good friends cuz I thought she hated me. So this went on for a good 2 years or so....we were never really friends but again more like acquaintances. I don't think it was until the beginning of last year that we became good friends.

I remember this one weekend with Erin, it was her birthday and she was having a girl's party the weekend of. Well at school that weekend I had the opportunity to take home one of those mechanical babies for parenting class. Lets just say, I'm still haunted to this day. The baby made me cry, before it cried!!!! Yeah.....lets see how well that goes in the future :P Well I had to take the baby to her party....that was interesting to say the least. We went under the bridge and well...when your of my age at the time, I was 17, and your caring around a baby stroller with a "baby" in it, you get looks......Some people are too quick to judge sometimes....They obviously didn't know it was a school project, but I did. Anyways yeah that was an interesting to have that baby at her party. And another fun time is that we got to be co workers for our church's day camp last summer. So basically we spent everyday for 2 months together, and that was neat and interesting to work with her, and see what it was like to be co workers with her.

Unfortunately I don't get that opportunity to work with her this summer, cuz she is taking over Promisland, but I'm sure we will still each other alot this summer! Erin is blessed with the heart full for others, her family, especially her mother, and her friends. But most importantly her Savior, the Lord Almighty. She loves him soo much and he loves her soo much! " Oh how he loves us" - How he loves us Kim Walker (video posted below) I have got to see her grow in her faith, which has lead her to help in ministering to kids for 7 years now through Day Camp, AND traveling to Nicaragua and help at a camp there, with a few other friends of ours.

As she returns to Brock in the fall, I just hope that life outside church doesn't change and that she can minister to her friends and not be judged. That she takes the Lord's word and uses it in her everyday life. She doesn't get distracted by Idols or other things that could be distracting her from living her life to the fullest in God's eyes. Erin you are a smart, talented, fun, beautiful girl, and don't let anyone tell you different! Keep being you and never change! :)
