January 25, 2011- Hillary Gibbs

Gibbs, Skillary Skibbs, Gibbles, Little Carrot; whatever you know her by, she is wonderful. A seemingly common reoccurrence of my camp counselors becoming my best friends is yet again witnessed here. Gibbles was my counselor when I was fifteen and I cannot even describe to you the friend-crush I had on here prior to her being my counselor. Gibbs was one of those people you heard about as a camper and were just in awe of how cool she seemed. Then I got to know her and realized she wasn't that cool...


KIDDING. She truly is the coolest. Really though, she is one of those people you want to just hug(and that's saying a lot coming from a girl who isn't big on hugging.) Gibbs has this precious way of caring about people and loving them so much that you know she would do anything for you. No matter where you are, or what you are going through, if you ask her to be there she will. Gibbles way of communicating is through encouragement and love for others which is an incredible thing to be around. She loves to build others up and truly make you feel the way God created you. Her heart is so beautiful and so uplifting to be near, and I am so thankful for the time that we got to be close to the Lord together. 


What I have learned from Gibbles is never to think down on yourself. It is a self destructing thing that leads nowhere, and why on earth would you want to feel that way if you could experience the unbelievable beauty found in Christ and in turn, yourself. Gibbs never ceases to put a smile on my face and will forever be the best hugger around. Skillery Skibbs, you are amazing. I still cannot believe you are getting married and growing up so dang fast. Thank you for all that you have done and continue to do for me, I love you forever.

"Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it."
