For Good

All things happen for a reason. Everything is part of the Lord great and wonderful plan. No matter how painful something might be, an eternal perspective must be taken.

At times you might feel like you are limited, that there isnt anything you can do. that you are locked in a box and have no way of choosing anything, because there is nothing.
Its normal to compare out lives to others and wish that we could have that power and strength that they have. That they are free to do and choose whatever they want.

I'm limited
Just look at me - I'm limited
And just look at you
You can do all I couldn't do!
So now it's up to you
For both of us - now it's up to you...


A friend isnt just given to you for no reason. Each person in your life is for a reason, to teach you something new, or strengthen a truth you knew all along, or bring out the you that you never thought you could be. TRUST, COMMUNICATION, HOPE, FAITH, HEART, BELIFE, COMPASSION, SMILE, LOVE... the list goes on and on and on.


I've heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know I'm who I am today
Because I knew you
I came home no knowing where my life was going to be placed in the huge mess of what our singles ward is. Would I be sitting alone? Was coming home dumb? Would I spend all my free time just laying in my bed looking on how unimportent my life is? Would I have any friends in this ward? Most of the time the college kids are friends and in the group with those of their school, no one wants to mess with those who arnt in the ward for that long. FIVE MONTHS I am forced to be here in this place, in this ward where people look at me always judging, where roomers are their favorite past time, where I am invisable to most people. BUT I gave my trust to the Lord, if I was supposed to come home it was for a reason. I was falling apart up at school and had no support. I had those friends, but what I was going through I just couldnt be helped. There are people in the world meant to impact you, and you have to give them the chance!! I don't know how it happened, it was almost like it happened over night, but I went from just a friend to BEST FRIENDS with an amazing spirit. Someone who I knew I would hate to leave by going back to school, but it seems she is the one leaving first.

It well may be
That we will never meet again
In this lifetime
So let me say before we part
So much of me
Is made of what I learned from you
You'll be with me
Like a handprint on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend...

How do you say goodbye to a friend like this. To someone how has changed your life. Someone who helped you be who you are, and what you were ment to be. Someone who taught you so many things, and grew to be your best friend, and once they arent there any more what is there here? LIVE LIFE. DONT CARE WHAT OTHERS THINK OR SAY. BE YOURSEFLF. YOU WERE MADE TO BE YOU NOT SOMEONE ELSE.

Who can say if I've been
Changed for the better?
I do believe I have been
Changed for the better

BUT who gives anyone the right to take someone out of someones life? You are the one who chooses to stay friends and keep it going. What is distance. So many friends all over the world and not a day goes by that they arnt on my mind. That I dont take the time out to talk to them. It can work. A friend is someone who comes into your life, and is there all your life, UNLESS you choose to let them go. My life has been rethought about and brought into light and worth has been remembered.
Because I know you NATALIA ANGELICA MAY
I have been changed for good

I cannot wait till our Utah trip, I cannot wait till January when we will be four hours away. I cannot wait for our Idaho/Utah trips and partys , I cannot wait to continue on this adventure called life with you in the seat of best friend. No matter where we are in the world, you have placed your hand on my heart, and I hope I have done the same in your life.

Here is to life, and that of it that hasnt been lived yet, and to sharing it with such an amazing friend, in both of our adventures!
