I knew Makenzie stocker when she was about 3-7 years old. She was my little sisters best friend during that time and my dad went to school with Makenzie’s dad. I just found out yesterday that at age 18, Makenzie was killed in a car accident. I was really hit hard by this news, having vividly remembered her and her family. I was able to watch some of the service for her online and her mother read the most beautiful journal entry that Makenzie had wrote. Now she wrote this in FIRST grade. Yes. FIRST grade. I felt so much more peace after hearing it. It is perfect and beautiful. Oh, to have faith like a child.
The important thing about me is that I love God.
I might do bad things, but God forgives me.
I am in a play about Job.
I love the New Testimant, but the story of Job is in the Old Testimant.
Sometimes I am mean, but sometimes I pray to God to stop this and he stops it.
I love my God. He’s really something.
I love my God cause I asked for a sister and he gave me a sister.
God is so great to me. He gave me a family. He gave me a brother.
God sent an angel when Nathan was born.
I think that it is just great to have God in this world.
He never made any mistakes.
I care for God. I trust to believe in God. I will never forget God.
God is the best. Oh I love God. He is the best.
When I go to heaven with him. I believe in him.
He will be in my heart. He will be my love. I will love him with my heart. ~Makenzie Stocker
Makenzie loved to dance and go on mission trips. She was an inspiration to MANY, and loved Jesus so much. 1100 people were at her funeral service. She was known to brighten up a room and hug everyone. Reading some of the sweet memories others had of her, I realized that she will fit in just fine in heaven. For it seems as though she was a piece of heaven on earth. Her dad said that “she is probably teaching Jesus to dance.” I sure cannot wait to see that.
