Morgan Stahl

Ok so there are like a ton of people in my life that have encouraged me or helped me in some way. I thought it would be a good idea to write it down so i can look at it as a reminder of how blessed and loved i am. Now i am not writing them in order of importance, i'll write down whatever one is on my mind.So there will be many posts deticated to different people.

Todays is...

Morgan Stahl: Wow, this girl is so precious to me. I cherish this friendship so much. My sophomore year, she invested into my life (as a senior i might add) when she had no obligation to do so. She was in my life during my struggling season of loneliness. She constantly bought m Jambas, and saved me seats in church, and took me on car dates (we would drive around figuring out something to do but never coming up with anything haha). She is very wise in what she says and i always listened to her. But my major appreciation would have to be: (soph yr) Friday, 30mins before WSM's winter camp. I had just told Jeff i wasn't going to camp (even though i would be going for free) because i was "tired"-meaning i knew so many people yet felt so alone. i wasn't in the mood to invest into people's lives at all. (yes i was being selfish and was stuck in a pit of self pity)As i was headed to my room, the door bell rang. Kylen's voice yelled out, "Ashlyn, Morgan is here!" i was mad-if jeff was sending people to get me to go, i would stop going to wsm. (ok maybe i was being a little dramatic. I walked down the stairs to see why she was here. All she did was hand me a bag of marshies and a letter, then left. I was totally caught off guard and said nothing. I quickly ran upstairs to read the letter. To this day, that letter was the best, most heart felt, encouraging, and sweet letters i have ever gotten. I ended up crying. The note was not to tell me what i was doing was wrong but to let me know someone other than my family was there for me. her act of kindness humbled me. The marshies showed how much she loved me and truly knew me. I called her up and packed my bag in 5 mins. i ended up going to camp, which was another adventure and stretcher but that story is for a different time. Thanks to morgan, i got up on my feet again and started looking to Jesus again. Without her i would not love others with the right perspective and energy (God) to back me up.


Today is November 12th now and felt like i needed to add to this post. Found a letter i wrote to Morgan and can't remember if i gave it to her or not.

Morgan Stahl. Morgan Stahl. Morgan Stahl. So much comes into my mind when I hear those words. I feel joy, beauty, contentment, love, loyalty. I think of an amazing woman of God, a spectacular smile, a happiness that is so contagious, I see passion, I see my friend. There is so much to this girl. Success, thoughtfulness, selflessness. She listens. She works with all her heart. She makes me laugh both when she’s mad and goofy. She has a cute way of how she reacts. The more mad she gets the more she smiles. She is not like anyone I’ve met. She is confident in who she is and strives to be a better person daily. She encourages others though mere actions but also her letters to me. She has helped me come out of depression. She has used her gifts of serving by reaching out to others in our youth group. Our friendship started with a hi but no real meaning behind it, only just to be nice. Then got to hugs. Then calling each other and hanging out. She is one of those people that makes friendship so easy. We were meant to be friends but to this day I don’t know how we got to know each other so well. When she struggles she comes and talks to me. It means the world to me that she, a senior, would some talk to me, a sophomore. She is genuine. Honest. Sweet. A friend to me is someone who doesn’t leave when I push them away, who keeps me on the path im supposed to be, someone I can have fun with, someone who will sit in the car outside my house in the rain and listen, someone who will shovel gravel for fun with me, someone who allows me to me myself. She is rather talented, no not juggling, but she can be quiet and wise, or loud and funny either way she can relate to people. People who haven’t gotten to know her are missing out on a one of a kind. I wish I could put to words what she means to me. But I can’t. So to answer the questions I was supposed to answer. Morgan Stahl (doesn’t just her name make you smile- it does for me) is the type of person who I could turn to for anything. She is the type of person I can be serious around and very fun/goofy. She is rather sarcastic and comes up with a witty response to a lot I say(it would be amazing but I don’t get sarcasm nearly as much as I should-guess I’m missing out) I would very much like to get to know her better and see how God uses her. Although we all make mistakes, Morgan is a very positive and good example of how we should treat others and become a better person who loves God. She is sometimes lazy but aren’t we all. Im jealous of her. lol
