Today is my Gran Gran's birthday!
And so I am taking a moment to write a little post honoring a woman who may be little (she is a shorty! LOL) but who is large in my life. She has always played an instrumental part in my life. God has used her greatly to teach me and help me grow in every area of my life. She may have lived 6 hours away from us but distance never kept her from having a relationship with her daughter and grandchildren who were in another state.

This woman has become more than just a grandmother to me. She is an inspiration and continues to encourage me even now. She has taught me how to trust and have faith in God even amidst uncertainty and what felt like chaos in those moments. She prayed for the man I would marry and never lost hope that I would get married. Because there were days when I definitely wondered if I would be single forever and never be a mother. But she knew that God gave me a heart that was meant to love a husband and children and so she just kept on praying and encouraging me to be satisfied in the moment where God has placed me and trust that His will would come about. And so it did. And when it did happen she was one of our biggest supporters.

Gran Gran, I cannot tell you how thankful I am to have been given a grandmother like you. You are kind, loving, faithful, patient, joyful, strong, encouraging and so many more words that I cannot even begin to write them all. Thank you for loving me through it all and for always encouraging me through everything I face. Thank you for teaching me about studying God's Word and praying without ceasing. Thank you for teaching me how to love others even when its hard and you don't want too. Thank you for believing in me through school and my jobs. Thank you for loving me!

| I love you! |
