So Craig Decker changed my life this week...

Man, Craig is amazing to still be changing lives! Well, Dave Decker challenged us to do something for someone this week in honor of Craig, and I really took that to heart. It was awesome to read what all of his friends and family had to say about him, and I decided I need to be better.

This week I decided that I wanted to be more like Craig Decker. He always put everyone before himself and did everything he could to brighten the day of everyone around him. So, yeah. Well, so far this week has been absolutely incredible! There have been so many changes I've needed to make, and I've finally made a bunch of them. Thinking about Craig has really made all the difference. I've found myself talking to complete strangers and doing things I never would have done before, but I know it's what Craig would have done, you know? Thinking about him has given me that extra push every single time.

It's really inspiring to have known someone so Christ-like. This week I have felt amazingly close to my Savior, much closer than I have ever felt before. Coolest thing ever! You know, it's amazing to see what can happen when you finally decide to do whatever it takes to be the person Heavenly Father wants you to be.
