Truly, she is one remarkable individual. Very few of you have had the privilege of meeting this woman but if you have, it really is an honor. This woman has been a friend of mine even before I even got plugged into The City Church. Actually, how we became friends is slightly a funny story really. We both dated the same guy back in high school (not at the same time, thank goodness) but some how after we had broken up with him, we ended up finding each other. That my friends is where our relationship began. From then on we seemed attached to the hip for the most part. There were nights of dressing up in costumes for no apparent reason, nights of heading to our school dances were Bridget and I did a good job at not following all the "rules" hahaha, there were numerous nights of pranking people, and most of all there were nights of just us hanging out and just having a good time.
Bridget has seen it all when it comes to who I was and who I am now. For some reason, there is just this thing about her which makes you appreciate who you are as a person and to not care what others think. I remember being in high school and feeling so lost in my identity and so worried about what others thought but with Bridget, I could always be myself. I never had to worry. Then again, most of the time we were both pretty crazy but that is besides the point. The fact is, Bridget can see people for who they are. You do not have to confine yourself to a specific mold or roll, you can just be you and she accepts that. She really does have the capacity to love the multitudes. You can see it so easily within her.
Not only is she a person of amazing character but she is extremely talented in many different fields. 1. She is extremely talented in looking GOOD. haha But seriously she is. She always has these fashion blogs and has the cutest clothes. Always on the edge when it comes to what is next. 2. She is a photographer. I am always finding myself looking at her Facebook just to see what got posted this week. She doesn't create the beauty of things, she truly captures and magnifies the beauty within the things. The difference is, there is beauty in everything but some times we just can't see it on a day to day life but Bridget, she sees it. 3. She is a GREAT WRITER! This girl should seriously have her own magazine one day. I would be the happiest person in the world if she did. She is great. Not only that but she helps me take my crappy papers and turns them into something you can actually comprehend. 4. She is just brilliant. Half of the words that come out of her mouth are just so beyond my ability to understand. Her thoughts, ideas, concepts are just pure brilliant. I always wanted her on my scrabble team because then I knew I would win. 5. She is funny and has a good sense of humor. The girl knows how to just kick back and just enjoy life.
I can say all of this but really, the reason why I love Bridget so much is because she stood by my side. Even when I was not the greatest friend; even to her. Like I said, Bridget has been there since before I really knew God. She knew me in my insecure, vulnerable, confused, gossipy, dramatic, and lonely life style. Yet today, she is with me now. While so many others from my high school are intimidated with my choices of life style to serve God, Bridget isn't afraid. Bridget still loves me for me and lets me know it. Bridget still has my back. She is an amazing friend. Absolutely AMAZING. In fact, I honor her and her character. I really do. She is so true to who she is, what she believes and honestly.... she is pure to the core.
Memories: Dancing at our school dances, Sock Baby Jesus, talks in my room,scrabble parties, hanging out at LaX games, basically all of High School haha.
