“Senior Christmas”

When God talks to you through your friends and your friends try to help you through things is such a blessing. When your true friends don’t give up on you even when you want to give up on yourself. Ever felt this way? I know during Christmas there are so many times we feel discouraged or lonely or a loss for hope, turn to Jesus and keep your eyes and ears open to the things He wants you to hear. And if there are things you don’t want to hear and you know it isn’t helpful, block it out.

These cozy venues served as perfect havens for festive enjoyment, sustaining the joyful atmosphere of the Stroll.
