know the people in my life - know me

Nikki- Nikki is my best friend. We have been friends for two years now. She is my mentor, my role model, and the person I go to with all my struggles. She is the one who led me to Christ, and helped my relationship grow with him. I learned how to follow Jesus by hanging out with Nikki, and I especially learned how to treat others by hanging out with her. She is a HUMUNGOUS inspiration to me in every aspect of my life. When I meet the man I want to marry I hope my relationship is just like Nikki and Jordans'.
Justin- My life would not be the same if Justin wasnt my YOUth pastor. He challenges me, and makes me think about stuff I do and say, and even think. Sometimes it gets frustrating, but most of the time, I appreciate it. He is teaching me a lot about how to be an example to my peers, and how to lead them in worship, but he is also teaching me a lot about myself, and about other people.
Molly- Oh what is there to say about my sister Molly? We are like twins. I am SO ETERNALLY greatful that I have someone to go through everyday with me, struggling, partying, getting excited, getting very not excited, pouting, and doing Jesus crack. Without her I would be so alone, I would have no one to be an emotional teenager with. But she isnt just an emotional teenager. She has drive and determination. She is doing HUGE things with her life and they will get even bigger. She is one of the smartest people I know, academically, musicaly, as well as common sense. I am so greatful for my twin!
Kristi- I havent even known Kristi that long, only a little over a year, but she has played a huge part in my life. She, also, is an example to me. When i think about a mature woman, a woman who doesnt waste, and hasnt wasted, her time on stupid things, a "Proverbs 31 woman" [haha] I think of Kristi. She is helping me get through high school using common sense, and thinking about choices that I make. She is always there for me and I think of her as a mother figure.
Brad- I guess I have known Brad for a long time, but I've never really KNOWN him until I got into 9th grade. Brad has helped me and counseled me through so many hard times in my life that I am so thankful for him. He is one of the most brilliant men I know and he does amazing things for the high school ministry. Brad brings culture into the church [so does Justin, by the way] and his spirituallity inspires me.
Matt- Honestly, I have only known Matt for a month. But he has become such a good friend. He is a bold Christian like me, and I love talking with him about his views on Christianity. His thoughts make me think a lot, and I make him do a lot of thinking too. I have yet to meet very many people who love Jesus, rock music, and having a lot of laughs all at once, but Matt is one of them, and I am excited for our friendship to grow.
Some of you may be thinking, 'but what about ____?' There are people in my life who I hang out with way more, or talk about a lot, but they are not the huge people in my life right now. I love all my friends so much.
