My Family...

Words cannot express how grateful to God I am for my family. Having now lived in Florida for over 4 months, I have a much greater appreciation for each one of them. You never truly know what something is worth until it is taken away.

As I reflect on how much my family has invested into my life, here are just a few things which come to mind:

- Dad: Ready advise and godly counsel
- Mom: AMAZING cooking, love and tender care :D
- Tabi: A bright and cheerful countenance which brings life to those around
- Chad: Determination, diligence and sensitivity
               > Erin: A giving heart and humble attitude
- Thomas: Creative ideas, resourcefulness and positive humor ;)
               > Koti: Resourcefulness and passion to share Christ with others
- Hannah: Love that never fails even when an older brother (Nate) puts it through the test; a constant listening ear
- Abby: Sensitivity and generosity; knowing or seeing a need and meeting it without motive for personal gain
- Brielle: A constant love for the truth and discernment from the Lord
- Josiah: Perseverance that doesn't give up in the face of hardship and continual ingenious ideas
- Daniel: A keen focus to accomplish a given task set before and determination to finish it
- John Michael: A love for the Lord that doesn't fade away

Yes, these are just a few things for which I am SO grateful for! Only God knows how each person in my family has been used of Him to shape and mold me into the image of Jesus Christ. I am so blessed!

I LOVE you guys and thank God for each and everyone of you, for without you I would not be the same!
