One of "Those" Blog Posts..

Ever had one of those days when you don't really know what you want to say... yet you want to say something? Well that is why it's one of "those" blog posts! Ever just felt like you want to create something worth reading but you don't know where to begin... Well.. that is why it's one of "those" blog posts! I'm trying to do my homework.. but my roommate gave me this stuff that helps with sore tummies.. and I think its a little loaded with caffeine!!!  Therefore I am out of my MIND bored!!!!

Pondering

    When it's all said and done no one cares what clothes you wore, who your friends were, or what car you drove. However they will remember what you said, how to made people feel, and what your smile looked like. We are all going to leave this world at some point, now whether its next week, next year, or in 100 years no one will know. We should live our lives at a standard that at our funeral people will stand up and say, "He was everyone's best friend" or " I remember her bright smile" or " He had that way of making me feel important" or "Her eyes lite up whenever anyone was near her." God hears and answers prayers, I know it, I have felt it through this past week and I know everyone else in Magrath has felt the same. They were all great kids, my old seminary teacher told me " We cry because we loved, and that's the best reason to cry." Crying won't bring them back, I know Renzo would not want me crying my life away,

Numb.

I haven't fully wrapped my brain around the fact that my friend is taken from this life. Sometimes it feels like it honestly can't be real and I will wake up from this bad dream at any given moment. However I know deep down that's not the case. Coming home for the first time since I left has been rather strange. It feels as if it's been a long time here, and I need to get back to real life in order to begin moving on with my life. Things change in the blink of an eye. In Jorden's funeral the quote was said, "Death motivates us to live" Which I think is so powerful and so true. I will never take my life for granted, because I never know when my father in heaven is in need of me. I will live each day, and I will let the people I love know that I love them each and every day. Life is far to short to live with regrets, unkindness, and grudges. Move on from those who have hurt you, pray for those who continually use you, and smile to everyone.

4 New Angels

In loving memory of Renzo, Clay, Jorden, and Denae. Boys, you were the best of friends anyone could ask for. You truly loved everyone and made this world a better place. I know I am where I'm at because of you. Renzo, there will be forever a whole in my heart where you were. Thank you for everything you've done for me. Girls, your sweet gentle smiles will be deeply missed. You girls were the best! Heaven got 4 angels the day you passed. I will see you soon. Nothing will ever fill the void, but with the atoning power of this gospel one day it won't sting as much as it does today. Rest in peace. In loving memory.

Calling My Angels Home.

We are sent to this earth, and one day our Father in Heaven will call us back. For some our mortal journey is long, hard but worthwhile, and for some our adventure is cut short for no apparent reason. My heart breaks today as my small town lost 4 amazing teenagers with such a bright future in their paths. Renzo, Clay, Jorden, and Denae will be greatly missed by all. They brought such a light into this world. Their call came last night, they were needed somewhere else. It hurts to say goodbye, and think into the future or the past right now, but I am grateful I will see them again. My heart aches for the families who lost their children in this horrible accident.               Renzo was a great friend to all who knew him, he went out of his way to make people feel special and brighten their day just a tiny bit even if it's something as small as asking them on a date. He was so friendly and cheerful. I will miss seeing his face, and getting his facebook messages that he misses m
