Well it has been a while since I was last on this thing, I know I don't update it everyday but lately I haven't had time.
Things have been trying and stressful lately, But things are starting to look back on track.
I am particularly writing this because of I have some pretty amazing friends but this particular friend that i want to write about is truly amazing and has been a shining example to me. Over the past while I have been struggling with a lot and particularly with Church. But She has stood right beside me every step of the way. Every time I have felt discouraged or like giving up she has had that encouraging word. She makes me smile everytime we talk, Even though it's only a phone call because she is in a different Country She always makes me smile.
The person I am talking about is Jane Clayton, For those of you who do not know her or know about how this remarkable lady and I met, She was a missionary in The London area. She and her companions and I spent a lot of time together, We went on appointments together and did other wonderful things together. She has been there every step of the way! Every time I have felt like Giving up she has been that person to help pick me up and dust me off and say don't give up my fine friend. Her love for me is remarkable, There have been many times I haven't understood how she has done it but you know what the lord has blessed me.
The Lord last year must have knew I was going to need a few amazing people in my life, he has given me many amazing people some who I have lost touch with over the Years but then others like Jane who has been there when I have needed her most. I have confided in her a lot of things and have always felt what I have said to her is always safe and that nothing that I say will ever go beyond her and I.
She has comfortably let me vent and tell her my frustrations and just sat back and listened until I have needed her to give me advice, She always knows the right things to say at the right time. we Have always had pretty amazing times together! I miss her everyday! Everyday I think of her, and wish that she where here! But I know that she is where she is suppose to be at home with her family that loves her. I am grateful for her in my life for her wisdom, for her knowledge and for her tremendous love, Sometimes I feel if it wasn't for her I know that a year ago I would not have been active, I would have fallen off the path and would have lost all the blessings I have received.
I Wrote the following I wouldn't classify it as a poem but feelings! For you Jane I Hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed writing them down.
Over the Last Year, I have been blessed to know you. Blessed to be your friend and Grateful to feel loved by you. You have been that friend that I have needed most, You have never given up on me, and you have helped pick me up when I have felt fallen down. I love you! I am grateful for the memories we have made for the tiems we have spent together and for always helping me find the positive things in life.
Thanks for being my friend, Thanks for your constant love and support that you give me and for always making me feel loved. I am truly grateful for your constant care, your constant love and support I am grateful that you love me for who I am and not who I am not. I am grateful that you care for me when I even talk non sense you just care. it's great to have such an amazing friend like you.
Thanks for all you do thanks for being you and thanks for letting me be me. I truly am appreciative for the lord putting you into my life without you over the past while boosting me up I think I still would be down.
Thanks for all the memories you let me create with you and for all the Happy times and all the great times we shared together
I love you JANE... I miss you and hope one day we can see each other again.
Sending all my love to you in Utah
Your Friend
Crystal
