When I moved to Missouri in 1995, I was majoring in youth ministries in college. My amazing pastor knew that I had a heart for kids and asked me if I'd like to help out as a "counselor" in the middle school department. Oh the adventures we had! One of my first small groups had a girl named Bethany that was just completely in love with Christ and was telling all of her friends. She brought her friend, Jessica to church and both were in my group. Time went on and they advanced into the high school department. Jessica invited Paije to church, and Paije also became an active member of our youth group. Fast-forward from 13 to 30, and that's where we are now!
Paije was in town for her sister's bridal shower, so since she and Jessica have their 30th birthdays next week, they decided to do a best friend's shoot! We started off at a park close to where Paije grew up and played at a lot, then went to their high school and finished off in downtown Springfield. It was so great to catch up with both of them and see where life has taken them. It's so hard for me to see them all grown up, because I still picture them as teenagers. Life has a way of doing that though *wink* So, without further delay, I give you, 13 going on 30!
