Another night to remember

I feel like I just had the best night ever but I look back on my time with these particular friends and then I know, this is just one of many nights to remember.

The second we got out of the car and met up we picked up right where we left off. It didn't matter that we havent seen each other in 3 years, it felt like youth group was just yesterday. I instantly reverted back to a16 year old (in youth group years, thats 5 years of age). We may have some childish tendencies.

When I first moved here 6 years ago I wanted to have them all over to the house to hang out one evening. We had a pile of junk food and a debate channel on mute. We were each assigned parts on which person we were going to voice. We were dying with laughter. I must say, we are a witty bunch of people!

Marcia came downstairs to check on us. "Do you guys want a movie or something?" She asked. "Oh no, this is good!" We told her. Who knew a debate could be so entertaining!

We also used to sumo wrestle in slow motion, spin someone around 10 times, shine a flash light in there face to watch how many times they would fall down, and then we put two peoples heads, each in a different leg of a pair of pantie hose, and make them run in opposite directions. All the while yelling at each other in our own dialog: the lisp! Friends, what would we have done if someone who actually did have a lisp come to youth group?? Hmmm... SHUN!!

My friends, these WERE the times of my life. These are my most precious memories. I know God put you together at the perfect time for when I came into town. I needed you in order to gain a relationship with God. Not to try and take all the attention but because of that, this point in my life was my turning point. God made you for me during a particular time in my life where it was almost over. Thank you for being reflectors of Jesus and making it look so appetizing and invited with your sillyness! It was then that I got to know our Lord and savior and began soaring.

I didn't soar for very long though. I inherited some new friends and headed down a horrible path. I didn't know if my old friends would want a thing to do with me after my disgusting lifestyle I chose to live after a while.

Thank you for your forgiveness. Thank you for not making me feel like I need to continually apologize for my poor actions. Thank you for letting me be the same old Taylor with you!

And thank you, God for friends like them :)
