Living Life Under 5 Foot

I have been doing better at life. I feel a little happier, and I feel like I can smile and not feel guilty. Yet the pain is still real, and still there. This accident changed my life, and made me reconsider where I am going. I heard this quote that reads... "Isn't it strange that the times we come closest to our maker is when a life is given and when it's taken away." I have discovered this in my life over the past month, the pain is still too real to fully comprehend and at the same time it brings back the pain of losing my Ma and Pa Kinneard, and losing my Pa. All before it was in my mind "their time." Life is soo precious, I don't want to let one day pass me by without doing something for someone else. These people that have come and then gone from my life were there for a purpose.         Pa-K gave me hope when I was ready to give up on myself. On Trek I wanted to just give up, cry, and feel sorry for me. He taught me to learn how to accept charit

The sleet rain just doesn't want to let up today. It seems its better soaking, and making people miserable then allowing us to peacefully walk to and from school. My friend told me this will go in phases, the good times and the bad. Sometimes it feels that the bad outweighs the good. My young women's leader once told me ( when I was feeling very down, distraught and just overall frustrated at my life) she said, " It may seem like the bad overtakes the good, but really thats just the Lord showing you how much bad you can take. Shay let it humble you and bring you to your knees and then all of the sudden you remember all the good and then you know there is no way the bad will ever overtake the good." - Sister Gough. - Life is good. Life is great. Life is short. Life is precious. Life is to be lived, and life is to be loved. Just like with this weather the storm can't last forever. Eventually the sun will come out and the bitter winds will end, the trees will bud
