I thought about David today
My friend and Papajeong, David went to the airforce months ago-- graduated and in school now. Sometimes when I think about him I really am so proud of him, for the decision he made, from the light that he's shining and the kind of airforce tough guy he's growing up to be.
Even though he was in Texas and is now in Missisippi, he never fails to encourage me in so many ways. Whether that be in checking to see how people at home are doing, writing letters, or even sharing what kind of things he's learning in his devotionals-- I realize that we all have the power and the gift to encourage others, despite how far away we are.
I fail to encourage the people within a 10-ft vicinity around me on a daily basis-- and here's David, striving to be a good witness to those he is entitled with, laboring for the sake of growing in righteousness in a time and place where he is apart from close brothers and sisters and the church, and making intentional efforts on a daily, weekly basis to encourage those back at home.
It encourages me because it challenges me to do all the more.
I am a proud daugther
of an airforce papa..sorta
shirt's a little big though :)
Give thanks-- that it's friday, anticipation for a long lunch date to come in 5 minutes, the week being over, 2 midterms being over, midterms being officially over, prayer, time to pray, people who encourage me, reminders, how You painted a million stars and surrounded me with so many beautiful people to show me a glimpse of Your majesty
