And thus came to pass a great friendship! Hahaha! Leia Green is probably one of the most amazing people I've ever met....Minus the probably ;) Well this year on February 11th she turned 15!!!!!!!! Yeah intense! I mean maybe that's not a HUGE birthday to everyone but for some reason this year I realize how far we've come from the cute little 8 and 9 year old girls who lived up the street from each other. We have both grown so much! Well....she has at least XP I'm not the tallest person...or the biggest...or the most mature in the world. But hey! I'm not the awkward middle schooler any more! So we've both come a long way.
When you meet someone you KNOW for a fact is gonna teach you something very important in your life, you get this funny feeling. It's a feeling like you've already known them. It's like you planned this moment out before you even knew it was going to happen, because it's like it goes as planned. And from there everything just seems to fall into place. The laughs, the talks, the hugs, the tears, the love, the screaming, the dancing, the great moments that make life and everything in life so worth it, all come so naturally. It's like before I even came to this world we had the same moments and knew that before we came to Earth we needed each other. And so we made plans to meet each other at the exact moment we needed each other. We knew the problems on Earth were going to be hard and that we were going to need each other specifically because we couldn't get through this life without someone who COMPLETELY understands every word the other is saying and the meaning behind each word. And even knowing that she will always be there for me is the greatest comfort to me in my life. Sure I get scared to talk to all of my friends about stupid stuff inside my head that I bounce around, but with Leia I can just spit it out and know that she knows that I'm not crazy or on drugs. And I do the same for her. It's the most perfect friendship in the world!! XD
A lot of people don't get a chance to have an eternal friendship. And sometimes I ask my Heavenly Father why I deserve this amazing blessing of knowing that everyone in my life right now are people I couldn't live without here or in the pre-existence. My Heavenly Father gave me these people so I could make a difference in everyone's life. My life is so blessed so that I could bless others. And I know that I feel undeserving and insignificant and like I can't really make a difference in anyone's life sometimes, but I know that Heavenly Father didn't bless me so that I could make stupid decisions and screw up my life. He blessed me to show people about His love and His light. And to tell people about the sacrifice His son went through for us, and to share with people that He has a plan for us. He has a plan for each an every one of us. And I know I need to live in a way were I am deserving of these blessings.
It's funny when I think of talking to Heavenly Father about my life here on Earth and all of the trials we decided to put in my life. And all the things I was going to overcome and live through and all the things I will make way for in the last days. I picture Heavenly Father and I in a white room. We are looking at a map. It's a map of my life. He's pointing out major turning points in my life and we are talking about how I will get through them all. And how the choices I make will determine so much in my life. And how over time I will have to realize that I need to come to Him for everything. But until I can understand that He's letting me come to a family that will teach me all these things. And how I will feel lost sometimes but this family will always be there to point me in the right direction when I get side tracked(which everyone who knows me knows I get sidetracked very easily :P). And then I turn to Him and I look down at the floor as I say, "Can Leia come with me?" And He turns to me and lifts my chin and I look into His deep, caring, and endlessly loving eyes as He says, "I wouldn't have it any other way" And I hug Him with all my might. And then Leia comes running in squealing and jumping and we jump and hug together and we are both so so so excited to come to Earth and live our lives pleasing to Him.
And Leia wasn't the only person I've felt like this with. All of my amazing friends who have been there for me when I wanna fall apart and when I want to just run away from all my stupid problems and mistakes. They always help me stand back up and face what I need to face in my life. Every one in my life has helped me learn something. And I want to say thank you to everyone in my life.
But the biggest think I've learned from Leia is that...I have a weird obsession with sticking my tongue out of my mouth :P ^_^
gross, i know Leia is eye-candy but that does not mean you have to constantly try and lick her :) And I love this because it's so obviously true. You and Leia are like pepper mint milkshakes and myself, totally inseparable(when Im at Chik fil A at least). The love and caring you both demonstrate to each other is nothing short of miraculous, and it's an example everyone should strive for in their relationships. God truly has blessed you, but by blessing you two and putting you together not only does it help your own lives, but it touches everyone else around you. So we thank you Kirsten, and we thank you Leia, for these past seven years, and for the strong friendship you have shown.
