My "Siblings"

When i was in 1st grade, age 6. My family lost a great person, my little brother Matthew Lee Scheffert at the age of 1. At that age i didn't really understand it. I didn't cry. When i think about it i wasn't really sad either. i remember my dad and i sitting in the waiting room and him crying his eyes out because he lost his son and all i did was hand him the Kleenex box.

If i had been older like i am now i would've been crushed just as my father was. Everyday i always wonder how would life had been with Matthew around. would he be into horses just like me? would he be in sports? what is his favorite color?

A dear friend of mine went through what i would call the worst. she lost her father, if i lost my dad i don't think i would be able to go anywhere for weeks he has made such a impact on my life. as my friend went through this hardship she still was somewhat herself. she still smiled. made me smile. and as i would say moved on through it all. something i wouldn't be able to do.

She is the strongest person i know and i always try to be as great of person as she is all the time. i am so blessed to have her in my life and to call her one of my very best friends! she is like my "sister" i never had. we talk about boys quite a bit... :) ha <3 her tons


Then there is this boy.. he is def like a brother to me. he always just seems to understand! he is everything i would hope my brother would've been. he cares like no other boy has ever cared for me other then my dad. when i am having a bad day a text from him just makes it all better.

His hugs are the greatest! after i got my state degree for FFA someone taps me on the shoulder. Congratulations! i hear and am pulled into a huge bear hug. that is what topped it off for me that night. later i thanked him for the great hug and the congrats. he knew how hard i had worked. his reply to me...

"Your worth it"

the next best thing God has brought into my life. a brother :)


Thank you to the two best people in the world who always make my day 100 times better just by being you. You have touched me and helped me grow in so many ways and even though we are all going to different schools next year i hope our bond never fades..

Just Getting Started

Today has been a interesting day. With many ups and downs, but still quite a bit of smiling and laughing.. 
as it nears the end of the day i look back and think of what i did today and what i could've done better.

Number1
Work with people better. when life throws shit in your face don't throw it back or grumble about it, just wipe it off and walk away. today is not your day for that and the Lord has better ideas.

Number2
Don't let the stress of life get to you. its the season for planting. your father is tired and irritated just like you. you both have stuff that NEEDS to get done.. but it wont today because something came up and you need to do that first.

Number3
Treasure your friends, they love you no matter what, even if your a grump because they care and want to see you happy so smile for them and try to be just as good of friend to them as they are to you.

Number4
Last but not least for today. hold every moment near and dear to your heart you never know if its your last or your friends. the Lord has so many plans for us and we will never know the full extent of them till we are with him in heaven.






special thanks to Aryel for helping me get started a little more :)
