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 me. His best friend Clay was the same way, though he seems shy when you first meet him he sure can liven up a car when he is dressed like a Mexican dancer!
I didn't know Jorden very well, but I do know she is a daughter of God, and she had a great laugh and a fun personality to be around. I will miss Denae, when her and my sister would hang out she would always talk to me as if I was her older sister, I served as a Laurel president and grew to love everyone I served. She was one of them. She was inviting, loving, friendly, and honest. She will be greatly missed as will all those whose lives where taken today.

I know the Lord has a plan for them, something bigger than they ever did with themselves. It is hard to say goodbye to them. I'm comforted only by the fact that I know one day I will see them again. Renzo, keep up the work, this gospel is true, this is a greater mission. I still have a date waiting for you! I will see you on the other side!

The source for my comfort.

Lessons From Environmental Issues: State Shift

I've been taking this Bio class called environmental issues, and to put it lightly, there's not a whole lot that I like about it. However I found something useful this week, maybe something that touched me more than it should have. There are different types of changes in the environment. For example: Resilience :  is the ability for the environment to bounce back after something drastic happens. Like a tornado, or a hurricane. Let's put this into people's lives, this is like a break up, or the ending of a friendship. It hurts, it even devastates you but give it time, all things will go back to it's natural state. However long that takes, it will heal. You will heal. Then.. There's a change called a state shift . This is uncommon in the environment, because of it's tragic and lasting effects. A state shift means no matter how hard the environment tries, it will never be how it was before, it's changed and can't be reversed. Now let's ...

Through the Fall Out

The title? I thought it was better than "Happy Mother's Day" or "My Mom is Better Than Your Mom" or anything like that. I was listening to this song on the way home, and thought it touched on the topic perfectly. Through the fall out. In life there are so many fall outs, times when we feel we are free falling alone, and helpless. Well, there are people who encourage us and help direct us onto a soft landing, hopefully. Here are mine. First, my mother. She gave birth to me like every one else's mother. She raised me, sang to me, cuddled me, and comforted me. But most importantly she taught me to think for myself, and be my own person. (As I grew up and was finding that person it was not always the easiest journey.) But she stuck it out. She showed me how to go on when your life falls apart on you, and how to pick others up when they are down. She taught me of service, and giving service instead of gifts. She gave me my "I'm not really overly a...

A Few Sunny Days

What can I say? Not very much. All I know, is every once in a while when I find myself down, bummed, or even pissed, that no matter what I have the best friends that back me up. Help me stand, and teach me to fight again. I don't give them enough credit for all they go through with me. Whether it be listening to me vent, dealing with my heartless-ness, having me bark outside their window. Pretending to be a clingy girl friend, or just putting up with the daily smart ass comments I make. They are always there. This last weekend I had so many glorious times, and it's even better because it's lovely fall weather out there. So here are my friends. Desirae. Man, this girl has been with me since the beginning. Even though she's married now, she still takes time to be wonderful to me. ( we took a TON of pictures this weekend. ) Then there's Amanda. She's just grand. She hasn't been in my life for the longest, but man has she made a difference for me...
