Some days I have time to sit down and think of the people God has put in my life strategically at times to grow me, challenge me and help mold and change me (other days it's simply SURVIVAL), but today I had a minute to sit and think and just thank God for someone specific, and this is HER.... my friend, BW. I wish I had an elaborate vocabulary and great writing skills to communicate just how amazing she is and how she has changed my life, but since I do NOT... I will express it like a typical 15 year old... I LOVE HER TO DEATH:)
Most people do not meet let alone have the privilege of knowing a person such as her. She is by FAR the most selfless, most thoughtful, giving and caring person I know. She is the epitome of a Proverbs 31 woman. She is a friend who doesn't tell you what you want to hear, but yet what you NEED to hear, and with more love and grace imaginable. She humbly admits when she is wrong (not often:) and serves her husband and family with everything she has.
Anyway, I was feeling sentimental and in the rare case SHE has time to read this (has 5 little ones of her own) I wanted her to know that I'm blessed beyond measure to not only know her but call her friend.... Thank you BW for being you, for being who God has called you to be, for not being of this world, and keeping me thinking straight. I love you girl....

I second that!
Andrea - that was very sweet! Often times we don't take the time to recognize the good and especially the good people in our lives! I'm sure she feels the same about you! XOXO
How funny that I just now read this... almost 2 months after you posted it. I didn't realize you were still updating this site or I would have been stalking your blog daily. :) When you sent the note about Keller today I saw this post for the first time... I don't even know what to say!
I love you so much and can't believe that the Lord has brought us through so much together!! What a blessing that He has given us one of those rare relationships that just goes beyond whims, convenience or the things we have in common, but comes from our unity with Him... something that can never be taken away. (add in some fire-forging and not to mention you so just so much fun to hang out with!!)
So like a 15 yr old, I say... I hope we stay BFF!! and XOXO!!
