What Prayer Brought Me

Lately there's been some possibilities of Drawkah eventually splitting when I turn 16, because I'm not allowed to steady date... Me and Dawson cried for a long time together over this, and we were so sad that Drawkah wouldn't end up staying together forever. I prayed for help...because I knew I wouldn't be able to fix this tragedy all on my own. I told Braxton about what had happened a couple hours later, and then he suggested that me and Dawson go on group dates and double dates. I kind of laughed about it first, but then...I took it into consideration, and later that night I told Dawson, and he still doubted the fact that we'd stay together. I told him all we had to do was go on group dates and double dates. He still cried because he knew my mom wouldn't want me and Dawson to be together.

The next day, I was talking to my mom, and I had told her this: "Now that I think about it, 1 on 1 dates sound incredibly awkward... but I think GROUP dates sound fun!!!" I was truly honest about that, group dates and double dates honestly sound more fun, and memorable than 1 on 1's. What was the point of 1 on 1's if you don't even really like that person anyways? I wanted to do group dates...it sounds like you'd get to know everybody even more! My mom replied to me that she had felt the same when she was my age. She said that she went on a lot of group dates and double dates with a lot of the same people even if they were bopeer pressure on group dates because she doesn't want me hanging out with the wrong crowd. So basically she told me it's alright if I have a boyfriend and we do double dates and group dates.
yfriend and girlfriend. She just told me to beware of

I decided to keep the news a secret up until Dawson's birthday, but I just couldn't contain my secret after I had come back from Troylairs yesterday. He had told me he had thoughts of us breaking up that day and that's why he didn't stick around me much or hold my hand or hug me goodbye unless I told him. I came home and I just wondered what would happen because he was acting so...different. Usually, he freely grabs my hand, and knows to hug me goodbye, and sticks right by my side. But that day, he just was like 3 feet away from me, and didn't hold my hand, and it was so different. I wasn't used to it at all. I started getting paranoid on the way home from Troylairs. He told me he was paranoid that I was gonna basically break up with him, and then I blurted out my little secret that we don't have to break up anymore. I made him cry tears of happiness for such a long time. He basically told me I had repaired his broken heart 100%, and that he had nothing to worry about now. I told him that I got the true solution from my Heavenly Father, because let's face it, if I hadn't prayed, on my 16th birthday I'd be breaking up with the best boyfriend in the world, which would turn my "Sweet 16" into the worst birthday of my entire life. He started loving life again, and I felt like I had fulfilled part of my purpose.

Ever since I had met Dawson, I felt that it was my duty to help him, and get him to be where he's supposed to be. I honestly have prayed about him multiple times, and I've felt the urge to pull him closer and closer to me. If it weren't for prayer, Dawson wouldn't be reading the scriptures like he is now. Dawson wouldn't want to get back into religion. I guess I've helped him realize what's important to him. I'm not trying to take credit for this, but I'm giving Heavenly Father all the credit, all I had to do was pray about it, and talk to him, and be there for him. I feel like I need to do all that I do for him. I even prayed that Dawson would come into my life.. (as creepy as that sounds) He came to me through a Summer wish and a Summer prayer. I prayed to meet somebody who cared about me, loved me, and that we could help each other get stronger, as we fell more in love... I got exactly what I wanted. I met Dawson that year, when he moved into our school. He's my fallen angel, we're making each other stronger, and better each day.

EPiC Shout-Out of the Day:

Those Lacking Hope: Pray... Prayer runs off of Faith. The more faith you have, the closer you are to Heavenly Father. Pray to him, and determine what his answer is for you. God works in mysterious ways. Don't doubt that he's listening, he listens to everyone, for we are the children of God. It doesn't matter what color you are, or whether you're straight or not, he loves every single one of us. Just choose the right, even when you've done wrong in the past.
