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.

Summing it Up Through Songs

As always I like to sum up the year, month by month.. however that post comes the first day of January. Look for it.  Today, I will sum up the biggest part of my 2013 year through music lyrics of songs that I feel have touched me, inspired me, or reminded me.  Enjoy.  I heard the doctor, but what did he say, I knew I was fine about this time yesterday.- Ben Rector, When a Heart Breaks.  If you're lost and alone, or you're sinking like a stone, Carry on. - FUN, Carry On. It's time to defy gravity- Wicked, Defying Gravity  It's the way you do the things you do that make me fall in love with you- Rocket to the Moon, Dakota  It's okay not to be okay, sometimes it's hard to follow your heart. Tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising, just be true to who you are- Jessie J, Who you are. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, what doesn't kill you makes you a fighter- Kelly Clarkson, Stronger You can't carry i...

Your "Thoughts and Prayers" Are Bullshit.

Yes. I said it. I also thoroughly agree with that statement. Here's why. As I've been going through pretty huge and life-changing medical problems, my family has been physically nowhere near me. Granted my intestine decided to swell up in Saskatoon, which isn't convenient for anyone. It's given me so much time to think, in some scary and painful moments. Let me preface this by saying I'm not a religious person,  However from what I know, God, helped those in need, he didn't just pray for the sick,  he visited them, and he served them. Let's imagine that when that blind guy came to he Jesus, Jesus said, "You're in my thoughts and prayers" and then left. That story would have turned out very differently. We all do and say things in our lives almost out of habit. Like think of how many times you've said "Hey how are you?" and not actually listened for the answer. Lots, I know. I do this ALL the time, and I'm working incr...

Smashed Windows

10 days ago I was changing locations on my travels through Utah. I packed up my mini cooper with my workout bag (this included 3 pairs of shoes, headphones, 5 pairs of yoga pants, 3 sports bras, 7 tank tops, my shower stuff, and deodorant) then I loaded up my 2 long boards, one being a Land Yatchz and the other my sector 9, finally I put my  Cannon camera bag, (It had my 7D a 50mm 1.4 lens, and a 35-118 1.8 lens in it. Along with a charger 4 batters, camera strap, and all my business cards). I thought to myself, I'm going to run across the street, grab a coffee then load my final bag into my car and take off to Roy. So that's what I did, however when I returned from across the street to my utter horror my window had been smashed, and everything from my car was gone. After I called the cops, and some friends to come and help I turned into a catatonic mess. I literally stood by my window and stared at my car for hours. Finally I decided I looked like a psychopath and therefore ...
