February 23, 2011-Anna Herring

Sweet, sweet Anna Herring, I have truly loved you from the moment we really talked. From our first day at camp, unpacking all of the archery equipment, I knew that you were a girl that I wanted to get to know. You were so dang excited about absolutely everything going on and I loved your spirit for life and how on fire you were for Christ. As we journeyed on through a summer of laughs, nicknames, encouragement, tears and celebrations with each other, the Lord made it so evident that we wouldn't just be friends for the summer, and that He had big plans for our walk together.


In case you haven't met her, Anna Herring is hilarious. She has these moments and one-liner's that I will never be able to not laugh when I recount them. From our first day off together of eating popcorn and watching Lost, to our worship sessions in archery between classes, I will never forget the sheer joy that radiated off of her. Anna, thank you for being such an encouraging influence in my life. Thank you for sharing Christ's love with everyone you came in contact with, merely because He loved you first. I cannot imagine next summer without you, but know that I am continually praying for you and your sanity if you are lucky enough to be a Tweedle counselor again!! I love you forever Miko.


Philippians 1:3-6
"Every time I think of you, I give thanks to my God. Whenever I pray, I make my requests for all of you with joy, for you have been my partners in spreading the Good News about Christ from the time you first heard it until now. And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns."
