Life is TOO short

Okay well this last week has been one of the hardest of my life. I learned three things that I want to share with you.

I learned that life is SO short. You never know when it will be the last time you are going to see someone, and you never know how hard it is going to be if you ever had to say goodbye to that person for good. Last Thursday night (the night the Sooners lost the Championship), we received a phone call from Jen's Aunt Debbie, saying that her cousin, Scotty (or Skeety as I called him) had passed away. At first it felt like a cruel joke or a dream. But then it settled in that he was gone and we would not see him again until we went to heaven. I was very upset and I pretty much just became completely depressed. Scotty was only 30 yrs old. He was too young to die. I know that you can't be too young to die but in my opinion he was. His funeral was Tuesday 01/13/2009. Scotty was born 05/26/1978 and went to see Jesus 01/07/2009. It hurts so bad to know that until either I die or Jesus comes back I will not get to hear his voice again. He was close to my heart, and I cannot wait to see him in heaven. What a horrible way to begin the new year.

Another thing I learned is that adults can be such babies sometimes. For some people grudges and hatred does not go away even whenever your world is turned upside down. So on top of having to deal with one of my very close friends passing away I had to deal with some very childish crap out of a grown adult, because he wouldn't stop showing his true colors. Those colors of hatred and grudge were pointed at me and it hurt me so badly. So I have decided that life sucks! God is really testing my strength and my courage this week.

And the other thing I learned, I actually learned today. Do not bend over while you are sitting in a chair. My mom did this today, the chair came out from underneath her and she cracked her elbow. She went to the orthopedist and even though to me it is pretty obvious that her elbow is cracked the orthopedist said, "I can't tell if it is cracked or if that is just the way your bones are." Okay so since when are peoples bones obviously cracked just because that is the way they are. WHATEVER! Please be praying for her healing. She is going to post her X-Ray pics on myspace so you will be able to check those out LOL.

To close this blog out I just want to sum all this up in a couple points. God is always testing you, but even though it seems impossible to overcome it God would not put anything on your plate that you cannot handle. He doesn't want to see us fail. The other point is DO NOT ever think that someone will be around for ever. Appreciate every moment that you have with the people you love because that could very well be the last minute you spend with them on earth.

So far 2009 has been a bad year. It has only been 16 days since this nightmare began, but I have faith that it will get better.
