My first suggested topic comes from my good friend Shelby.
"@GregRiffle #BeardedBalanceIdea: Write about how awesome you think I am and the joys of having me as your best friend. Lol."
In 2007 I went on my very first mission trip with the student ministry of Granger Community Church. The trip was local and focused on partnerships with organizations in our own community. I still hadn't known very many people at this point since I was still pretty new to the whole church scene.
When I first arrived at the hotel I took my bags to the meeting room and saw a few tables set up and a handful of people talking to one another. I mingled a little bit here and there and started to learn some names and faces. One of these people was a girl named Shelby Trusty.
Shelby is the type of person many people want to know. She is sweet, sincere, honest, and kind. She has a heart that will change the lives of many people. The joy she has in serving in the student ministry is beyond remarkable.
Through the years we have grown to know each other on a deep level. If I ever need any sort of advice or just need someone to talk to, she is there for me. She has given me a lot of spiritual advice that has helped shape me into who I am.
From time to time we argue and bicker at one another. However, even in these times, I know I am deeply blessed to have her in my life. She is my closest friend and without her in my life, I'd be even more of a mess than I am. I don't think I could ever have a better friend than I do in her.
Oh, and one more thing, she has a beautiful singing voice! If you have been blessed by her singing, you can think me later for encouraging her to get on stage and share it with you. :p
