 Dear Monica,

                                                        Provers 17:17

I am so incredibly blessed. I remember the first time you had to give a speech in Thompson's class. You talked with your hands a lot. Now if you didn't talk with them I would be worried. It's really funny and "wicked" awesome how you went from some girl in my class to one of my best friends. Thank you Jesus.

Two comments about the above pictures:
your facial expressions
your double finger pistol
HOOOOOOODIE

While we're at it:
your hiss
your taste in music
the fact that your granola & will play bongo's in a coffee shop
that you are all about the Lord
you love people
your driving skills..BIRDS?
you might not know all the words to songs
but you sing them anyway
you put your apple stickers everywheeerreee
you keep me grounded
your transparency
you make me love Jesus more than I already do

All things that I love about you.

I am going to miss the c-r-a-p out of you. Please don't leave me. I'm serious who will call the gym gods with me?

I will always cherish those times. I hope that we have many many more of "those"times with you. I love you to the moon and back friend. Thank you for making me laugh, making me grow, and making my life full.

Love you.

To the window..To the wall.. ;)

Dear Gayle,

Words cannot begin to express how thankful I am for you in my life. I would not be where I am today without  you. You were with me through all the girl drama, heart break, and laughter. I can remember my senior year of high school (aka the year from Satan.) You encouraged me to seek God regardless of what was going on around me. You told me to "look up". Those words stuck with me. They always will.

And now I tell you to "look up". I pray for you and your family daily. 1 Peter 5:10 You are one of the strongest women I know. I admire your strength and faith in the Lord. I know without a shadow of a doubt our Lord will do amazing things through this situation. I pray for your husband, one the most amazing men I know, healing. Can I just tell you how amazing you are again? Your girl's are so blessed to have a mother like you, and I know sometimes it doesn't feel that way. But one day, they will realize. I did..my poor mother!

When I think mentor, I think you. Oh, how I wish I could pack you in my bag and take you to Stillwater. The fun we would have!

Just know how much I appreciate how you helped me mature into the woman I am today. Because of the time and love you put into my life, the kingdom of the Lord will grow. I really believe that. One day, I will send you amazing letters from Africa!

I love you times a million. I am so blessed.

By the way, I think I might so set up a tent on your "land". I wish I we're kidding! 

Love, Meagan

Have you thanked someone who helped you become who you are today?
