Mrs. Boston and I met my sophmore year when every single one of my close friends seemed to be cheerleaders. She was the queen bee, the coach that all feared until they got to know, and honestly, I was a little intimidated myself. My junior year, Jordan, Angel, Jamie, Nicole, Ashley and I started what soon became the lunch crew with Mrs. Boston. We would go straight to her office after third period and stay there until fifth. We would take turns bringing each other Starbucks, Chick-fil-A, and left over Tijuana Flats while we caught up on the latest gossip with each other. Looking back on those days, I can only remember select stories, Mrs. Boston's drink order and how much I looked forward to that hour and a half in my school day.
It wasn't until my senior year of high school that I truly got to experience the wisdom and generosity the Lord showed me through Mrs. Boston. Every conversation we had was filled with such depth and left me feeling as though I was truly cared for by her. Between sips of coffee we would share life stories, bible verses that we had fallen in love with, or just people and things on our hearts. It was one of the most encouraging relationships I had ever been in with an adult and it taught me how to hold conversation, take advice and care about other people. Mrs. Boston, thank you for teaching me so much about life. Thank you for showing me how important people are and how imperitive relationships with people are to make and keep over time. I pray for you constantly, and I love you forever.
James 3:17
"But the wisdom from above is first of all pure. It is also peace loving, gentle at all times, and willing to yield to others. It is full of mercy and good deeds. It shows no favoritism and is always sincere."
