Tough Times

Cousin Lacy, Uncle Coach Ron, and Aunt Penny

So, it's been a while since I have blogged. Been pretty busy here lately, well busy enough. HAHA I had Wednesday off, and today off, so that is nice. I have been patiently working on scholarships, and graduation things. It sucks because I was such a procrastinater and it is definetly catching up to me now. I am so totally ready for graduation, BUT I don't like working up to it. haha.. Off the boring stuff for a little bit... Saturday is the first day for softball practice... can't wait for that.. and to get back in the groove of things. Once that is started, it'll last for about 6 weeks. So, that'll keep me busy for a while plus hair school on top of that... But I'm super stoked! ;-)



On the down side, I lost a pretty good buddy of mine yesterday. He was a great guy, but just had a lot on his plate that I guess he just couldn't handle. It's really hard to see people go through those tough times. It makes you wonder if there was anything more that I could have done. He called me two nights ago, just to chit-chat and talk about how life was treating one another. He had promised me things were better, but hard to take his word for that, considering the circumstances. If you think about it, you want to blame God for it all, but how can you do that!? You want to ask him why He would do it, but all you can truly ask is how! How... why so sudden, and why so soon.

I know it was the poor decisions from him, but it's just as if, he didn't learn from the first, second, and third mistakes that he had made. It's hard to come to a conclusion of the thoughts that run through people's minds.

It was just really tough for me being an even small part in his life, but still having those conversations with him, about what goes on.



I do believe that when we face challenges in life that are far beyond our own power, it's an opportunity to build on our faith, inner strength, and courage. I've learned that how we face challenges plays a big role in the outcome of them.
