Four more.

I have decided to do a series... four people a post. Four special people that I love and adore and wish nothing but God's abundant blessings on your life.

First up today is a woman of many roles. My school nurse, my employer, my listening ear, my second mommy. Today I went up and sobbed in your office after getting a test score... and you just hugged me and cried with me. You said you remembered the days of crazy stress and studying so hard you have no life left in you... only to get a C on paper or exam. You told me to hold my head up high, because we serve a God that is waaayyyy bigger than any exam. That the same God who planted the dreams, desires, and drive in my little heart will carry those out in the best way possible. Do you know how much it means to me to have someone to run to day in and day out? To have someone that will speak into me words of truth regarding the majestic God you and I serve? Let me tell you, Momma Echols, It means SO much more than you will ever know. I will bend over backwards for you and your family... you have blessed me beyond measure. I love you.


Pam. The woman in Redding that everyone knows. I get to be under your teaching... and while I want to pull my hair out, bang my head against a wall, and/or incur brain damage so I don't have to study anymore... you are the most brilliant woman I know. and I mean that. I have never met a woman so passionate about the human body and how God designed it. I remember you telling us on the first day of class, "If you die for me, you can bet your bottom dollar I'll die for you." And this has remained true. Thanks for WANTING to see us succeed, and being there for us when we don't. You are a classy woman, one with amazing resolve and dignity. I thank God for you!


The drive-through people at In-N-Out. You are the friendliest people in the whole world! It pretty much majorly makes my day when I get to go eat there (which, sadly, is all.the.time!). I love your smiles and royal waves... and how you are starting to know exactly what I want... even being the {{picky}} eater that I am! You make my day.

Okay, so I'm just doing three today (and the last one doesn't really count, although I meant it!)... I want each one to count, not be an afterthought.

xoxoxo.
