My parents.

Two of the most influential people in my life. I am so thankful for you two. When I failed you, you told me you love me. When I showed no respect, you still showed me you loved me. When I disobeyed you, you made sure I knew you still loved me. When I ran away, you came and found me. When I came back to Christ, you rejoiced with me. When I was baptised, you celebrated with me. When i shared my heart, you listened. When I told you my dream, you believed in me.

You have showed me how marriage should look, with Christ at the centre. You have showed me how to love, how to care and how to serve. You have been a great example of how God loves us. When we fail, are disrespectful, are disobedient or run away, He still loves us and calls us by our name. He rejoiced when I gave Him my all, and when I publicly declared my love and choice of following Him. He listens when I share my heart, and He drives me to fulfil my dreams.

I am so blessed, and honoured to have you as my earthly parents, but even more blessed to have a heavenly father that would place me in your hands to bring me up in His family.

Now, for others who may be reading this, aren't my parents just the cutest?!?! I can't wait to be re-united with you next summer, hopefully in Texas!! We'll for sure have to get some dancing going on! And to everyone who has played a part in my life up to now, thank you for playing a part in the person I have become.
