"A hero to me is somebody who is selfless, who exemplifies a generous spirit, who gives back as much as possible to help people. A hero to me is someone who saves people with their spiritual gift, and who will always put others before themselves."

leaders in Ministry together and holding each other accountable."
A Birthday Letter For My Best Friend
Not only is today
Mark’s Birthday, but it’s his 3rd birthday that we
are celebrating together, and I can’t think of a better way to wish him a Happy
Birthday than to share my thoughts with him here on our blog, and relive our
moments of celebrating together.
Happy birthday, babe.
Although it’s your birthday
today, my mind is filled with all of the amazing gifts, life lessons, and love
that you’ve given me.
There are a handful of
things that I am sure of in life, and one of those things is that I know God
created you just for me…for this journey that we’ve built and embarked on has been indescribable,
nearly perfect and yet amazing.
How do I know this?
Because…
Your strength and
determination ease fears that I’ve carried throughout my life. You fell in love
with a woman who was a sex addict, and you showed me the love of God.
Your calm, phlegmatic
spirit softens the sharp edges of my choleric temperament, and we balance each
other out so well.
You have protected,
cushioned, and loved me through our struggles to fill our bodies with purity,
build up our faiths, and build our walk with God, together.
Your unflappable
nature reassures me that together, we can face anything with grace. Your mom even approves.
Your amazing sense of
humor brings out my silly side and keeps me from taking myself and life too
seriously, when I’m over working myself, or running out of gas because I was
way too busy to see my gas light was on; you still came with a smile on your
face to my rescue. My hero, forever.
Dynamic duo, we are. Not because it's a cute title, not because social media calls every two good-looking people regardless if they are making a difference in life or not a "power couple", but we are a dynamic duo because we both know the importance of serving the community, our church, people around us, and each other.
Today,
I celebrate your life.
You have brought a sense of stability to my
life that I’ve always dreamed of that has made me feel safe enough to reach for
my dreams. You inspire me every day to always resemble Christ in all that I do,
even when sometimes it’s so hard for me to do so.
You are truly
everything I ever dreamed of. I remember writing to God in my prayer journal,
the ideal man that I wanted. Each attribute that I wrote down was the total opposite of you, and God knew it was because I was only after the
materialistic, already established man, instead of being on a life-long journey
of building together.
Your passion is my passion. I am your biggest fan, and will always be your biggest fan.
Since you entered my
life, you have made every day feel like my birthday.
And I just want to say, I love you...
I love your
intelligence
I love your passion for
life, acting, and being God’s image at all times
I love how I thank God
every day for bringing someone as wonderful as you into my life
I love the ways you
choose to show your affection for me
I love the way you
inspire me to be more than I am, and more than the life I lived
I love you just the way
you are
I will spend the rest of my days showing you how grateful I am to call you my best friend. Don’t ever change, for anyone.
May your day be wonderful just as you are.
I love you beyond words,
Brittney
