I have known Isaac for awhile now. I don't know how many years it's been, but we met at church, probably through friends. We didn't become very close friends until this year. Hes like my younger, but bigger brother. I love the kid to pieces. I love all my friends too! haha Isaac is definitely a character! I honestly for the sake of my life come to remember what in the world it was that brought us to be as tight as we are, but I can only thank God for it! I have done many hangouts with him. Though I can only remember a few. I remember this one time, I don't know if it was last year or this year, but I ended up giving him a foot massage in the middle of our youth room ....(K before you judge there is a story behind this!) OK, so if any of you read the about me section in my profile or you know me personally, you will know that I am studying to be an Esthetician. Well back last summer, well not even the summer it was before that...he would always ask for a massage...especially his head for some reason? ( FYI Isaac is in love with getting massages..) Anyways he had always asked me and I always said "No" because 1. I didn't and still don't know how to give a massage and 2. I had no clue what I was doing. So I promised him that once my schooling started then I would give him a massage. Well I only learned how to give a hand massage and foot massage sooo....that is how I got into the situation above ^.
The guy is also awesome at giving advice and figuring things out. I had this one problem about a month ago, and I was really upset over it so who came to the "rescue" I guess you would say...Well Isaac, we ended up hanging out for like 3 hours and just talked. It was cool just to experience that, cuz we had never just hung out, outside of youth before. It's also sad that we have become this good of friends cuz he is leaving sometime this year. Did I mention he is going to Australia for well ever! :'( yeah...it sucks but i know that Lord has big plans in his life!
Isaac just recently graduated from grade 12 and is moving on to bigger and better things. He hopes to one day learn how to surf, and become a youth pastor to kids. I think that is a excellent choice for him to leads his life for Christ. "We wait for you, to walk in the room" these lyrics remind me of Isaac because he has been through his fare share in life and has struggled in his faith, but whenever anything got really bad he would turn the Lord for help. A few weeks ago, our church had the opportunity to have Life Action Ministries come and impact us to the core of our hearts. This changed him in a way that was powerful to see, and for him to just want to live his life to the fullness God has pursued its freaking amazing!!! If it wasn't for the Lord, lets just say Isaac wouldn't be the guy I know and love like a brother! Heck I wouldn't even know him. Lord thank you soooo much for the work your doing in his life! You Lord, have given him freedom and joy. Keep blessing him in his everyday walk with you!
Isaac, you are one of my closet friends. You have been there for me when I needed someone, and your personality just shines wherever you go. You have helped impact many lives and your a great mentor for younger kids. You're a star in God's eyes and keep burning, burn bright wherever you go. Don't let anything bring you down. NEVER let go of the love God has for you. When things get tough turn to him. And one last thing never loose contact with that ones that care for ya the most when your gone! Come back to visit please :) Love you little bro and friend!
