To My Best Friend . . .

. . . and Other Half!!!


Happy 18th Birthday!!!



"I had the greatest friend when I was a little kid . . . 
and I get to keep her for the rest of my life."

Wow, there's so much I could say. . .but there's no way to even begin to describe what this girl means to me. I can't imagine going through life without you! 
When I think of you, so many things flood my mind. You are kind, loving, faithful, beautiful, gracious, considerate, giving, energetic, fun, strong, supportive, unwavering, determined, amazing, steadfast, loyal, ambitious, flat out incredible . . . and the list goes on and on! Don't underestimate the impact that you've had on the people around you, your family, and definitely me! 

Hans, I'm super excited to see what God does in your life this next year! I pray that all you do would honor and glorify Jesus Christ and that through your life many would be drawn closer to Him! Keep your eyes focused on Him alone and it's unimaginable what He's going to do through you. He's your strong tower, your peace and your faithful guide. Don't underestimate the time you spend with Him! He alone is the one who will give you the power to make an impact on this world. 

"Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee withersoever thou goest." Joshua 1:9

No matter what you face this next year, never forget that He goes with you!

"A loyal sister is worth a thousand friends!"
