Alex, you are one of a kind. I think I'll skim over our friendship from sophomore year because it doesn't even compare to the kind of relationship we established senior year. I'm pretty sure you have always thought I was absurdly strange and that nothing I do makes sense, but then again, I wouldn't necessarily peg you as normal either.
Spring break my senior year of high school, Alex and I went on a trip with a group of our friends to Tennessee for a few days. It was one of the mist beautifully vulnerable weekends I have ever been a part of, filled with incredible stories, quiet time in the word, worship and conversation. Alex and I got to have a great chat on the way back from a rafting trip about a large range of topics that sparked an incredible friendship. He has such a strong hold on his relationship with Christ and is such a bold believer in his faith. I am constantly encouraged by the courage and bravery he has, and the ability to carry on when life is tough. The thing I have learned most from Alex is to never be afraid of standing up for what I believe. It is a beautiful thing to see in him and I am inspired by his boldness. Alex, thank you for being such a wonderful friend to me. Stay strong in who you are in Christ and never forget how adored you are by Him. I love you forever.
Jeremiah 1:8
"And don’t be afraid of the people, for I will be with you and will protect you. I, the Lord, have spoken!"
