Chrysalis

At this time last weekend I was in the place that changed my life. My friend was going on the a weekend that I went on in the fall of my freshman year and I was working it. Having him go on the walk was a real blessing to me. My friend is an absolutely different young man than he was before this!!!The week before the walk, I thought I was losing him. He was going through some really tough stuff and he wouldn't let me do anything. He was pushing me away. Then the sunday before the walk, he got himself back. He was really looking forward to going on Chrysalis. Then it finally came. I spent the night at the campground the night before since I was working it. I had some time out with my friends, then I went to bed. I couldn't sleep for anything. I kept thinking about how Dominic was coming in the morning and I couldn't stop praying for him. Throughout the night I was thinking that he will be a butterfly in Christ in two mornings. God changed his life. We had my sweet 16th birthday party yesterday and he got me card with religious words on it. It says, "Because God created you...you are a very special person in this world...Because He loves you, there's no end to all the good things He has in store for you. And because He made you so wonderfully, you are a true blessing to everyone who knows you. Wishing You a Birthday Filled with Happiness". He also got me a gift card from target that is a butterfly!!! That shows me that Chrysalis was the best time of his life. He will remember that he is a butterfly in Christ for the rest of his life. On this walk, we give people apage letters. Those letters show the candiates that people care and are praying for them. I am really surprised that Dominic didn't know about them because I have my letters on the wall in my bedroom. He never asked that they are for and he was totally surprised by his letters. I am so thankful to God for letting me co sponser him with my mom. I used my allowance to pay for most of his fee. I feel so blessed that I was able to be a huge part of his weekend. Even though I was doing behind the scenes work, I was still there!!!! Thanks God for letting me be there!!!!!!! Overall a great weekend. It will be in my heart along side with my weekend for the rest of our lives!!!!!!!
