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?
