January 21, 2011-Will Harris

William Dykes Harris, aka askjdsufbskfsvkbds. Where to begin? I guess we could start with our drive around in Gainesville where your first nickname came about from me because of your weaving class (Weaver Willy) or maybe we should start with the trip to Gainesville where Hayley and I tried to make you pee on the side of the road, or maybe we should start at the beginning of our true friendship when we ran along side each other in our race towards the finish line of Heaven. Regardless of where or when it started, I am so thankful God allowed us to meet and serve Him together. 

Will is the type of guy that you love to be around. His kindness surpasses most and his fire for Christ is awesome to be around. He holds others accountable but in the most loving way imaginable and he cares for his friends in ways that many will never be lucky enough to understand. I know that He would do absolutely anything for me and that his thoughts and prayers always include those that he loves. His selflessness is unbelievable, and his spiritual maturity is far beyond his years. Will has been an incredible brother in Christ to me even when I wasn't a great sister to him. 

My favorite thing about Will is that he now loves coffee. Just kidding, I do love that but really my favorite thing is his love for the Lord. It is an incredible thing to be a friends with a man who loves his creator with every ounce in him. The passion he has for glorifying God in all that he does is beautiful and inspiring. The relationship he has with Him is personal and precious and completely his own. I love being able to call him my brother and one of my best friends. Bro, thank you so much being such an incredible role model for me and all those you have the opportunity to be around. Stay strong in who you are and never give up on the people you love and even those you don't love. I am lucky to know you, I love you forever.

Luke 10:27

"The man answered, "You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind.’ And, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.'"
