Dear Heavenly Father,

I'm really sad that Camille is leaving. I know that everything happens for a reason, and everything happens for the better. Please, please help Camille to find lots of new friends and still keep in touch with me and her other current friends. She is a really great friend, God. Thank you for making our paths cross. Also, please help Camille to fight any temptations that she may face at her new school, such as drugs [especially], because some public schools have drugs. Our school doesn't because of the drug testing, so we never have to face those kind of temptations.

Lord, sometimes I feel far away from you. I want to know you through love and show your love through my actions. I want to feel the joy that comes from you, the joy that I learned about in the Bible study. So many things feel like they are pulling me away, not putting you first in my life, like in the Everything skit from chapel. God, help me and the Applied class to do out best in the skit and glorify you. Open the hearts of the students and allow them to accept the message we are trying to tell them.

Lastly, I want to thank you for so many things. Mrs. Ball gave me a great idea. You know how we made a happy list for chapel? Well, I am going to make a thank you list for you. I want you to know that I am thankful. I know sometimes I may not show it, but truly, thank you so much for all the blessings you have given to me and my family.

Love, your child,
Slim =]
