You have made me feel cherished from the

very beginning.  When you cared enough to recognize me

as David's brother.  Then when I was going to college

you said you'd miss me, you were the only one!

I've grown to love you so much, and you are very special

to me.  You've let me into your life and I've loved it!

From the day I came to Crystal's and saw you two crying

to the day you told me you considered me a brother.

I'll always cherish these times we've had so far, and I

can't wait to see what God has in store for you!

I know He's brought up a mighty Woman of God,

and placed in you a such a beautiful heart.  A heart full

of love and compassion, not to mention humor and joy!

Just your smile lights up those around you, and their day

brightens when you come around!  IT'S TRUE!!!

It's not hard to see that you're one set aside, and designated

for the Lord's work.  You pray and intercede with passion

and inspire those around you to do the same.  You battle with

a courage and a strong will and voice, and a spirit of a pure warring bride.

The Lord has so much in store for you, and so much

for you now!  Just take hold of it!  He's put it there for you,

already set aside waiting for you to just claim it!

You are no tumbleweed, but a beautiful delicate flower, one to be cherished!

You've definatly become like a sister to me, as you've seen

through the teasing and whatnot. But you haven't seen

so much the protective side, although it is there, I try not to show it.
