It doesn't have to be that bad.

It seems, lately, that all the people around me are going through emotional struggles. Why is that? I dont know but what I'll say to you is Im sorry. I hate that my friends, my best friends, have to go through so much pain. Is it just because people hurt other people or is it just cuz we allow the hurt to get the best of us? Ive allowed the hurt to

I use to always hear the saying growing up "That when it rains it pours" meaning that it seems like everything bad happens at once.(I completely understand how your friends are feeling.It breaks my heart.) I sometimes even say it still but now when or if I say it , I'm reminded of what Mrs. Brown said to you once that you LOVED ,which is- "AFTER THE RAIN COMES THE RAINBOW", and that is so awesome,(its hope, its love ,its a promise) I love it too! I'm glad that you are encouraging your friends, Be there for them always, I know you will. I'm so blessed to be your Mom and I'm proud of you and all the blessing God has given you. You have learned so much. I'm praying for all of you and Gods continious and amazing blessings and will in each of your lives. I'm happy to see you encouraging others in the same ways you have been blessed and encouraged yourself. We all need each other, God reveals himself to us through one another,just like with Mrs.Brown and the RAINBOW. I love you and God Bless, xoxo Mom

amy, i cant even express to you how much this entry means to me, it does make me see the real and the beauty in life, seeing you be able to take everyone elses problems and encourage us, all of us. thats a gift girl, and im so glad i know you, and that you use it. your writings inspired me so much, first not to overrate patience, i say that because i do, not that it is in general, but beccause i make it that way. usually when im down i dont want to have anything to do with god, because in a sense im too mad at him to care what he has to say, but that song took those feelings all away, its beautiful, youre beautiful, we all are, and i believe life is beautiful too, sometimes its just too dark to see the beauty, but when someone like you with your writing brings so much blessing it sets a fire inside of the darkness, a consuming light that you cannot hide from, one that will continue to grow. and i thank you with my entire heart amy cooper, for setting a flame in my darkness. you and all of you. i love each and everyone of you. and

Hi!

We haven't really spoken in a while. I just want you to know I have read your entries - and those in Jessie's journals. I think we all need to "read between the lines." Sometimes anger or hurt is just a call for closeness. We get angry when we feel neglected - it is not necessarily an insult - more of a call for help. When I read both of your entries - I did not feel anger - I felt both of you saying the same thing -" I want you to be there for me - and I want to be there for you." My goodness - there's so much love in this youth group that sometimes we mistake it for drama!! You two do love each other - sometimes it's not shown the way it should be - doesn't matter - we learn to do it in a way that fits both lives - that's what so good about being human - we learn. I love you both. Love each other - as I know you already do!

Love - Mrs. B

many thanks
