This is to Sharon.

Sharon,
You have been such an amazing friend to me. This account...is nothing without you. Not only are you a very beautiful person on the outside, but you're even more beautiful on the inside.

I cannot thank God enough for your friendship. I enjoy encouraging you and being your sister in Christ. I look forward to every chat with you. Teaching you Photoshop skills. Sharing pictures. Talking about God. Sharing our problems. Being weird and wacky. Hearing you sing. But mostly...being your friend.

I know one day on His timing, I will be able to meet you in person so that we can go run in fields and take pictures. Okay, so that's one reason. But... mostly so I can give you a great hug for being the best sister and friend in The Netherlands, the world, ever! And I'd love to grow closer in the Lord with you at my side. You, my dearest sister, are amazing with no doubt. Never forget that.

But mostly, I'd like to tell you how much I love you. Only... I can't. Because the love is not of this world. It's the love found in God. And there are no words a man can speak to describe that.

Thank you for being my friend. And thank you more for being you.

Keep up the amazingness. Keep shining. And never forget to smile. Smiling means you do believe. Because you believe it when you smile. And you smile every time Jesus hugs you.

I love you, sistah! You're amazing in every way! Yuppeth! Me and you--we're the only Har Har's we'll ever understand.

Your Sister,
Stephanie Ann

Stephanie,
You.. When I start about you, I don't know where to begin, and where to end.. Basicly, I don't think the word "end" applies in this anywhere. I could tell you how much I love, apreciate, admire, etc. you over and over again with no end to it. And most importantly, I believe our friendship will never end. God definitly wanted us to know each other like this, it just feels so right! I hope it will last forever.

I'm glad you feel I have been an amazing friend to you. I tried hard, but sometimes not hard enough.. I will try my best to be the best friend and sister I can be, even though I have many things I struggle with myself.. This account is nothing without you either. And you know, you too are beautiful inside and out more than you may realise yourself.

I am very thankful to the Lord too when it comes to your friendship. I believe you might be one of the most important people He brought into my life so far. I'm glad you enjoy encouraging me.. because it seems I need quite allot of that. And I want you to know that it really does help!

I will be patient and wait on His timing. Let's both pray for this, okay? We'll have such a wonderful time together, make tons of pictures, have lots of fun, get closer to each other, talk about many things, read the Bible, talk about faith.. and much more.
I'd love to grow closer in the Lord with you at my side aswell, I need you. I'm not close as strong as you already are. You teach me so many things.

I agree. There are no words for love found in God. I love you too, sister, and God knows how much I do.

And thank you too. Thank you, for being my friend, sister and simply you.

Really? Wow... I will remember that.

So.. I hope you don't mind I added my reply in the same journal. I just wanted to do the same for you, because you're amazing!
Yip-yap-yippethy yuppeth!

Your Sister,
Sharon Diane.
