A New Season *

Yesterday I got a letter from C. that I've kind of been expecting to receive since I was sentenced last summer but never wanted to receive. She told me that she wants to end our relationship to focus on her life and her relationship to God. I'm proud of her for doing what she needs to do and wanting to get her priorities straight. While I'm here I shouldn't be anyone's priority.

I spent much of the evening writing a letter to her telling her what I think and sharing memories with her. I spent several hours last night and this morning in prayer for both of us to be drawn closer to God and to be developed into people who are more like Christ.

As much as it hurts to see our relationship close, C. is an amazing girl and a friend that I want to be happy an successful.
