365 Questions--February 2

Who is someone you admire?

Honestly, the person on this earth that I admire the most is my first lady. She is the most amazing person to me. I don't know a lot about where she comes from, but I do know that she is young and she has the love of God all over her. One of the things that drew me in to her was her wisdom. She comes off as someone who is much older than she is. She has the kind of wisdom that makes you want to just sit around and listen to her. On top of that, she is the most warmhearted person I have ever met in my life.

It's crazy when I first started coming to my church, she was there with open arms. I started visiting my church back in May of 2016 and she hugged on me and was slowly trying to get me to join. I knew I was in the right place, but the fear of committing myself to the wrong place scared me so I left. That and I just didn't trust how warm she was. I left and came back almost 6 months later and she was still the same with me. I just couldn't believe it. I didn't have that kind of influence growing up. I didn't have someone around that was not going to judge me. I didn't have someone to love on me the way she does. Honestly, that's why it scared me so bad. 

She sees things in me that I know only one other person who didn't know me at all picked up on. As I mentioned before I carry a lot of hurt with me. Because of her, I'm slowly letting those things go. She's prayed for me countless times. She's held my hand through some of toughest times in my life. When I had to have an MRI (when I found out I no longer had PCOS), she and pastor offered to go with me. When my grandfather died a couple months later, she called and checked on me. There were times I missed a couple of Sundays, which is very unlike me, but she called to check just make sure I was okay. At the time there was nothing wrong; I was just out of town for a couple weekends back to back. Even though she's only old enough to be my sister, I respect her as my spiritual mother. She has the kind of wisdom that makes you want to just sit at her feet and listen. Everything I learned about being a wife and total woman, I learned from her. The healing I had to go through to leave my hurt behind was because of her. 

She's just an all around amazing person. First and foremost, she's beautiful, she's educated, and she has herself together. She knows who she is in God and operates in that. Watching her with her family and others, I love the way she loves. Watching her an pastor  you can see that they are so in love with each other. I pray that I have a marriage that has that kind of connection. She just cares about her members and her family so much. You can tell she's not afraid or insecure about anything nor does she care what others think. I wish I had her confidence.





Beautiful are the feet, of those who carry this gospel
Oh if you only knew, the things that they go through
Yet they still care
They inspire others to live
