God's little ways

I have a few weird/funny things that have happened that I know God did on purpose.
The first thing that happened was, that my parents gave me two vinyls to hang on the wall.  I couldn't decide where I wanted either one of them to go.  One said, "What is meant to be will always find a way" The other said, "We don't remember days... We remember Moments."  I got this beautiful cross from a very dear and best friend of mine, Ms Beverly.  I found the absolute perfect place to hang the cross and then decided the quote "We don't remember days... we remember moments" fit perfectly.  The night that we closed the casket I did not want to walk away because I wasn't going to be able to see my Daddy again.  I just remember my Momma saying "You have memories, you have the memories, you have to remember that" Well the cross and the quote is a daily reminder of the memories that I will forever have.

The last thing that happened was, I had a very large melt down New Years Eve.  My Daddy had called and asked what we were doing, I said we were going over to Jessica & Clint's and I invited him and mom to come.  He said, well you know your momma is probably not going to want to come.  I said that was okay call me back if they changed their minds.  Well, Thankfully they came.  I was so excited! We played games all night and ate.  I kept telling Jessica and Brian I was scared of what was going to happen to him, I wanted to be able to spend next New Years Eve with him.  I really had a melt down about everything.  Well obviously that won't get to happen.
But I told Jessica last night that if my Daddy had to be taken, God picked the perfect time.  We got to spend the holidays with him and made tons of memories that are fresh in my mind to help me make it through the day.  I couldn't think of a better time to be honest.  I know that  God did all of things intentionally and I really am trying to look on the "bright side"

I had a melt down on the way to school this morning.  Going back to the real world was extremely hard.  I'm use to passing my Daddy on the way to work or seeing his truck parked in Braden.  It hit me that I won't ever get to see him there anymore.  I sent my friend Lauren a text this morning asking her how in the world she adjusted getting back to real world.  She said the next few weeks were going to be the hardest but to keep myself busy and set small things to accomplish each day.  I really can't believe that we both have lost our Dads within months of each other.  But I'm so thankful I have someone I can vent to and who can give me sound and strong advice.

So God,
I'm thankful that you have given these few MONUMENTAL memories for me to hold onto along with the thousands of others I have.  I would also like to thank you for giving me a wonderful life long friend like Lauren to be able to talk to.  Thank you for my Strong and Amazing Momma. I'm still amazed at how strong she is.  Also, thank you for my sister, brother-in-law, Jackson, my grandparents, and my friends.  I have so many people in my life who love and care for me to help through this very long journey I have ahead.  I know you have sent all of these people into for my life for a reason and it's showing right now.
