Thinking Back

As I pray for the Harvells today, I am just thinking back on all the times they were there for me. All of the times that they "brought me up higher" spiritually speaking. When I was faltering, they were always there with a word of encouragement and a little something to show me that there was more to life than what I was living for at that moment. They are the type of Christians that we ALL are supposed to be. The kind of Christians that make other people want what we have. Even in their darkest hour, they still inspire me.

To Scott....thank you for all the times that your passion for Christ re-ignited a passion in me. Thank you for all the times that you spoke words of life into our youth group. Thank you for always following the Spirit in your ministry. Thank you for being a real, honest, true, passionate, longsuffering, compassionate follower of Christ. I love and miss you so much, and can't wait to see God gettin' His glory when all of this is over for you. I am standing in the gap for you, praying for you now when you can't pray for yourself. And thanks for all the times I know you have stood in the gap for me. You are a true disciple of Christ, and I am honored to call you my friend.

To Laura....you are the kind of woman, wife, and mother I strive every day to be. Your commitment to God and your family inspire me. Your steadfast faith and trust in God speak volumes to the rest of us. You are uncompromising, strong, and beautiful. I look forward to hearing you tell the story of victory when you are on the other side of this battle. I am praying for you as you have prayed for me so many times. Thank you for being a friend, confidante, and true example of what a Christian woman should be. You and Scott both are heroes in my eyes.

To Anslie....you have a spiritual beauty and anointing that far exceeds your years. The difference you made in my life is still being seen today. I pray that God will restore unto your family every moment that the devil has stolen through your Daddy's sickness. I am so proud of your strength, and the purpose that you live out each day as you bless the people around you with your sweet spirit.

I love you, Harvell family. I am standing with you.
