Ah! I love chocolate. Living in Northern Ireland spoiled me for life though. I hate American chocolate now. And this week I received a lovely little package that had chocolate from the UK in it!
And lovely little happy 8th birthday card. Not because it's my birthday but because my friendship with the person who sent this is almost eight years old.
So today I'm thankful for Jonny Best
I love this boy! He is one of my favorite people ever. We met during Summer Madness in Belfast and proceed to do Streetreach together. He was 17 and my little blessing of encouragement. God used him so much in my years in Northern Ireland to bless me, encourage me and remind me that people do value who I am. He would take me on "date nights" and talk about how all guys are stupid cause they weren't asking me out. He was like the perfect little brother! I admired his desire for the Lord and how He lived his life completely sold out for him. We've kept in touch since I left and I am so so so so proud of the man that he has become. A man who loves the Lord and loves others with all he is. Who's only desire is to serve God and be where God wants him to be....no matter where that is.
I'm so blessed to have this man in my life and blessed by the way that he loves me and shows he cares about me and my life even when I'm thousands of miles away. I love him dearly and he will always be like a brother to me.
