Memories

 Dear Grandma, so many things I would like to tell you. I first want to start off with saying that I love you. I miss you each and every single day and if you were here I would tell you all about how God has called me to some wonderful ministries like Christian Media Spotlight, Soldiers For Faith, and Red's Room. God has done so many amazing things by using me and getting me involved with the ministries that have brought wonderful and amazing friendships, but now those friendships have become a family to me. If you were here with all of us, I would tell you how much you could always make me smile and laugh. You had a gentle and kind spirit that wherever you were whether it be at church or when I came to see you, you were generous in giving unconditional love. You and grandpa both helped me and continued to make an impact on me and that's something I will never take away because you guys were so special to me. I just want to take a minute and share this photo because I think it...

 Dear Grandma, I want to tell you that I've been writing still and tonight on a phone call Bible Study, I shared what God put on my heart to say. I love you grandma and I miss you every single day. I know that's okay to miss you and as I write this I smile back at the memories that I have of you. I hope you know that you will always hold a special place in my heart and that no matter what, I'll share the memories I have. I wanted to share some photos that will help me to remember you're still with me and in my heart. I love you grandma and I will keep sharing the memories with others who didn't get the chance to know you or the kind of person that you were.

 Dear Grandma, I want to tell you that I love you and when I think about you, I think of how you were the sweetest person I ever knew. You could always make me smile and laugh. I know that you told me that in the letter you wrote to me, that in the moments I felt sad it was okay because you knew I would miss you, and you miss me too, but that I could smile back at the memories and you would too. When I first started doing this writing project with this blog, I didn't know where to begin or where to start. There was so much I wanted to say to you but didn't know where to begin. Although, God made a way to help me start writing it. I love you so much and I miss you each day but I know I'll see you in Heaven again someday. If I could tell you anything, anything I would want to say right now then I would tell you how I'm helping with three ministries and I'm humbly grateful for it. I'm humbly grateful for the ministries that God has brought me to because all the min...

 Dear Grandma, tonight I lead my phone call Bible study called Warriors In Faith. I know that if you and grandpa were still here, that you would be happy to know what I've accomplished with God's help and what God has brought me to over the past year and this year alone. Tonight I joined a phone call study called Foundational Faith and it was me and one other person. Before we prayed and before I shared different things with them, I opened my Bible to Psalm 30. As I continued to read I went to Psalm 28, 27, 26, and 25. As I kept looking at the verses and I'm seeing what verse 4 says in Psalm 24 as I type this, I can't help but think that God has a purpose and a plan for all of this and I know that His Ways are good. There isn't a day that I don't wish that you could be here with all of us, and to hold William Andrew Krafft in your arms and give him a kiss. I know that you're where you're supposed to be though and I know we will all see you again someday....

 These are two other songs I wrote in memory of my grandma that I would like to share with all of you. When I look back at the memories, when I look back at you and I, I think of the memories the memories, you and I had. I think of the laughter, I think of the stories you shared, I think of your kind and compassionate heart because you touched our hearts and you touched our lives whenever you were around you smiled at us and I smiled at you. Where ever you were I could give you a hug and comfort, because sometimes I knew just what you needed. You held my hand and I held yours and I know that you loved me forevermore. I know it’s not goodbye, I know you are smiling down at me, because you’re proud of who I’ve become and you’re proud of what I am doing in this world and what I am doing for God. I will always share the memories I have for you to others who didn’t get the chance to know the sweetest, kindest, and loving person I knew, because I loved you so much. I’ll never forget the ...

 Dear Grandma, today I had a neurology appointment and it went very well. I don't even have to go back till February. I miss you and grandpa every day. I love you guys and wish you could be here to see everything that goes on. Tomorrow is Wednesday and I'll be leading my phone call Bible Study again. I'll be talking about what the Bible says about Justice. I've been learning a lot ever since being a part of the phone call Bible Studies. One of the things I'm learning is about Job. If I were to tell you something, it's how I would want you to know that I'm good and I never ever have given up and I continue to help when needed. I would like to share this memory I wrote in dedication to my grandma because she was special. I love you grandma and I always will, I know you and grandpa are both in my heart like God is. Let me explain this for a minute because this song holds a special place in my heart. I’ve never really shared it with anyone else , except that I’v...

 Dear Grandma, I miss being able to chat with you in person and over the phone. I remember just telling you what I would be doing with school, telling you about all these different things. There isn't a day that goes by when I do smile at the memories, but I also at the same time feel like something is missing and that something is you. I really want to say that you have meant so much to me and when you passed away, I don't think I ever remember crying so hard that it was like, not real to me. I felt I was going to wake up from a dream and you still be here. I thought it was all a horrible dream that I would soon wake up from and I hear your voice and you still be around to help me through anything. You were so special and supportive of what I would do. You knew that I had a pure and big heart in wanting to be there for people. I'll still never forget the time that you and I would talk and everything but we also laugh about a lot of things. I'll never forget the time yo...

 I first want to say that I decided to take a friend's advice and write my thoughts as if my grandma were here to read it. So this is sort of like a letter but I'm sharing the memories that mean something to me. Dear grandma, I love you so much and I wanted to tell you that you mean the world to me. You held a special place in my heart and I loved you for who you are. I appreciate you and what you have done to help me grow as a person. I love you so much and I know that you're with me in my heart, but there isn't a time that I don't miss you. It still doesn't seem real to me that you're gone and there are times when I feel sad and I miss you, but I know that I can smile at the memories and look at the good times we had together. If I were to tell you about all the things I was doing, I think you be proud and so would grandpa. I know in my heart that God is watching over me, but I also know in my heart that you guys are watching over me. When you passed away,...
