HALFWAY THERE!!!

Today is a very special day. It has a special place in my heart. Today marks one year since an AMAZING missionary and my very best friend Elder Richard Jason Norman entered the MTC and became one of Gods precious Servants. He has blessed so many lives and I couldn't be prouder of who this man has become. Only one more year till I can see my best friend again!  Keep up the wonderful work Elder.

Music That Melts My Heart

Okay... so it wouldnt allow me to upload the video of the song Elder Norman wrote for me! But Its super cute and I really wanted to share it wirh you. It is kind of personal, Only people that know our relationship really know why the second verse is very dear to my heart... hope you enjoy! :)


Lyrics:

You say that your afraid but I am to.
That we both will fade while I'm without you.
And there wouldn't be anything left for me.
I know its something that you cant see,
that the strength I need.

So please be strong for me.
Then I can be what you want me to be.
And with all these memories of you,
I can be strong in everything that I do,
I know its true the strength in me is you.

I know that this is something that we've been dreading
but I promise it will be more of a blessing.
We both knew that this wouldn't be easy
and the only reason I’m here is cause you were there to save me
and the strength I need.

So be strong for me.
Then I can be what you want me to be.
And with all these memories of you,
I can be strong in everything that I do,
I know its true the strength in me is you.

And then there is so much more the life than we've been told.
Its full of beauty that will unfold.
Christ said come follow me,
and I'll be the one to set you free.

Be strong for me.
Then I can be what you want me to be.
And with all these memories of you,
I can be strong in everything that I do,
I know its true the strength in me is you.

I wish I was more of a journal writer, I really wish I was a better blogger, and I just really wish I had more time to myself. I have committed to do a lot better with my posting about my sweet Missionary! I haven't posted in ages. So I am going to do a whole bunch of posts to catch up. I mean who could resist this stud of a missionary?!
