Day 2

Tuesday

Today a few other girls from our cabin, along with Natalie I, decided to wake up at 6:00 in the morning to go fishing. It was fun getting to ride the boat out in the middle of the lake in the cool morning breeze. Natalie and I didn't catch anything however. =P After we were done fishing, we got back just in time for a delicious breakfast of pancakes and syrup! Shortly after breakfast was over, it was time for the girls to have morning chapel while the boys headed out to the lake. All throughout the week our study was of 1st John. Then we swapped, and the girls went out to the lake while the boys had their morning chapel. The lake was the best! We got to ride the taco, which was a four person tube that was shaped like a taco. It was super fun!! The rest of day was awesome as well. Lunch and dinner were scrumptious, the evening service was wonderful, and the rollerblading at night was magical! 

Lovely camp days!

Hey there!! It's Sarah :) and I'm going to be posting about Camp Anchorage! It was an overnight camp that lasted for a week, and it was a wonderful experience! Each day, I will be posting about each day of camp..so today is day 1.

Monday
It was a 2 hour drive up to Lake Waccamaw, where camp anchorage was, but time went by quickly. Natalie and I listened to music, talked, and played hang man. It was quite an exciting ride. When we finally got there, our counselor came out and led Natalie and I inside the white building and up the hidden staircase until we got to our little bunk room. Pretty soon, the 4 other girls who were staying in the same bunk room arrived, and our counselor gave us a short tour around the camp.
That first day of camp was filled with excitement! Dinner that night consisted of spaghetti and delicious bread. After dinner was the evening service where we all had to dress in skirts and dresses. The worship hymns were lovely and the guest speaker was amazing! After that we had free time and the gym was open for those who wanted to skate/roller blade, and the snack shack was opened. So, Natalie and I decided roller blade. Natalie had never done it before, so it was quite a funny experience! :) I loved though!! A little while later we headed back to our bunk room and did our nightly devotions. And finally around 11:30..the lights finally went out, and we huddled down in our cozy bunks and fell asleep. :)

Part 6/ A Sympathetic Friend

Hey girls! Lindsey and Charlotte here to talk about being a sympathetic friend and what it means to be one! A sympathetic friend is someone that really cares about you and your feelings! Someone that is happy when you are and feels bad for you when you are sad! A sympathetic friend is someone that you can always count on to be there for you whenever you need them no matter what you are going through or however hard it might be they are always there to comfort you and make you feel better! Even though they might not be going through the same things you are and they might not understand it doesn't matter to them they still are there for you and help you through!! Sympathetic friends are often times your best friends because they are the true friends that always feel for you! Symathetic friends always stick with you and never leave no matter how difficult you are or what you are dealing with in life they will always choose to be there for you! We hope that reading this helps you realize if you havent been a very sympathetic friend but remember its never to late to be one! 

                                                                   Love,
                                                                  Lindsey and
                                                                  Charlotte

Part 5 / It's ok to have imperfections

Hey! Lindsey and Charlotte again and today we will be talking about being different or as we like to say  having imperefections! Sometimes people think that it is weired to have imperfections but the truth is every single person has some kind of imperfection its just that for some people they are more obvious than others! And sometimes people like Charlotte with more obvious imperfections let other people or people that are not true friends lead her to believe that she is weired for having more obvious imperfections than they do! But don't let people make you think that because if they do than they don't know what some of us have been through! Just because you might not look just like they do or be able to do all the stuff they can just like they can doesnt mean you are weired it just means that means that you have a harder time doing certain things! I am sure that if they out themselves in your shoes they would understand exactly how you are feeling and what you are going through!! But a true friend will always love you no matter what you look like or if you can't do stuff just like them they won't care they will love you for you! A true friend doesn't care about your outside apperance  they just care about the inside! Although a true friend doesnt know exactly what you are going through they still try their hardest to understand but always are there for you and comfort you in the hardest of times! We really hope that this helps you and that you really learn something in reading this!

                                                    
                                                                Love,
                                                              Lindsey and

Part 4 / A Loyal Friend

Hello dear readers! Lindsey and Charlotte back again! We are going to talk about what it is to be a loyal friend! Being loyal is one of the characteristics you should definitely look for in a friend because if something happens, or if you move away from your friend, you would want to keep your friendship! That is only possible if you know how to be a loyal friend! So what exactly is a loyal friend? An easy definition of a loyal friend is one who looks at the inside of a person, and at their heart; not at the outside! So many people get caught up looking at the outside of a person because that's where the beauty lies. But does it really? Well, that's where the outside beauty--the physical beauty--is seen. People forget that the most important beauty lies on the inside! It's the inner beauty! It's the beauty that truly matters! Even though some people really are beautiful on the outside, and it may look as if they have not a single thing wrong with them, there is always something wrong! Nobody is perfect, so every single person has something wrong with them! It's a fact of life! Sometimes, other people's imperfections are harder to notice than others, but that doesn't mean they don't have them! A loyal friend could care less about the imperfections of their friend! A loyal friend will stand by their friend's side through thick and thin! A loyal friend will stick up for their friend no matter what!

So if you feel like you have not been a loyal friend to some of your friends, it isn't too late to apologize! It's never too late to become a loyal friend! :)

Love,

Lindsey and Charlotte

                                                    

Part 3 / An Honest Friend

Hey Lindsey and Charlotte here to continue our series posts on friendship! Today we will be talking about what it means to be an honest friend! An honest friend will always tell you when something is wrong and not hold anything back! An honest friend also will point out what you are doing wrong, but be willing to forgive you! An honest friend will always listen to what you are going through, and give you their opinion to try and help you through it! Although an honest friend is never afraid to share their opinion no matter what it is, they still try and tell you in a loving way so that they do not hurt your feelings! An honest friend is a good friend because they won't hold back and always tell the truth! An honest friend sets an example to everyone of how we should act toward all of our friends because our friends deserve the best from us all the time! You see, honesty is the key to a long friendship! If your friend is doing something that annoys you, but you don't tell them, your friendship could be ruined because you wouldn't want to hang out with an annoying friend! But if you are, indeed, an honest friend, you would tell them nicely so that they can improve, and the friendship between the both of you will last! Friendships that lack honesty are friendships that will not last long, so be honest with your friends! We hope that this post changes how you act with your friends and that this post will really speak to you!


                                                       Love,

                                                   Lindsey and Charlotte
                                             

A Sweet Sixteen

Hey there! Today, it's just Lindsey posting about a sweet sixteen birthday party I went to! Kylie was the new sixteen year old, and she invited a total of 5 friends to come and celebrate the special moment with her! The theme was Alice in Wonderland//Through the Looking Glass, so all of the guests had to dress up as much as they could like the characters from the movie! A friend of mine (who was also invited to the party) emailed me and asked if we could go to the party dressed as Tweedledee and Tweedledum! So, of course, I said yes!

The party was a real success and a total blast!!! We had a tea party, attempted to eat 97 cupcakes, and took lots of pictures! They were mostly on Kylie's camera, so I don't have as many! haha. 

After our tea party and pictures, we decided to walk around the neighborhood to get some exercise and see what people thought of us in our crazy costumes! So we made it to the pool, and this pizza guy drives slowly by, and all of a sudden, one of the girls shouts, "Hey! The pizza is for us!" And the rest of us didn't know what on earth she was trying to do, because the pizza was not for us!! But as soon as the girl said that, the pizza guy pulled into a parking place, so she darted into the women's bathroom! And we all awkwardly followed her in! We finally came out 6 minutes later, and he was gone, but it was so weird!!

When we made it home, it was getting dark, and starting to rain, so we all went upstairs to the third floor and got on our pajamas! We hung out and chatted for a little while, and listened/danced around to music!! Then we all settled down and began watching the Alice movie! It was a great movie, and everyone but my friend stayed awake throughout the whole thing! :) But lucky her--she was the only one who actually got some sleep! lol! Soon after the movie, we all went to sleep, too, and in the morning, my mom came and picked me and my friend up so we could go home!! It had been a wonderful sweet sixteenth birthday party, and I am so glad Kylie invited me to come and celebrate with her!!

Love,

Lindsey
