The Getaway

So I spent five days with a friend and her family. I was amazed at how differently I can act around people. In just those five days I grew and learned so much about myself and my faith. This family definately inspires me to be a better person.

Sometimes when someone makes a joke, I actually start thinking about it. See, my friends sister got a new cell phone. I told her she needed to learn how to text with one hand so she could text in her pocket at work. Her mom gasped and told me that I was being a bad influence. She didn't offend me at all because it was true and I should have watched myself. Anyhow..she then said that I needed to live at their house for a year and go to school there so they could help me grow. I wasn't sure if she was serious or joking, but that was the end of it.

I am satisfied with my life at home. I mean, no one else is a Christian which sucks because I have no one to grow with. When my friends mom talked about living with her for a year I kinda laughed it off, but in all seriousness I would go. Just being with this family makes me sooo happy with life, and I am a better person. I have tried to live there before but it was under the wrong circumstances. I feel now that it would be right, if only they knew how serious I was. Maybe they are serious too, who knows, but if they offered it to me, I would pack up and go. I pray that they see my desire to change and God puts it on their heart to take me in. Until then I'll just keep trying to take what they have taught me and put it into action.
