But for reals...my parents are first & foremost on this list. I've seen them walk through deserts and storms and yet they're faith always comes forth as gold! My dad is so incredibly wise and I marvel at how soft his heart continually is anytime he talks about the Lord. And my dear mom has always been the shoulder I cry on. She is the primary bread-winner for the family since my dad is disabled and yet she takes on this task with joy, strength and an unwavering awareness that God provides. I could list off other heroes on this page, many of whom I've never even met. But for now, let me just say that my parents have had the greatest influence on my life & my walk with the Lord and I'm forever grateful to God for giving them to me!!
