24 days until my wedding and it hit me as I was counting RSVP's and getting frustrated at those that can't send a pre-addressed envelope back with their name and a check mark on it. Two of the women in my life that used to talk about the day that "I would get married" won't be at my wedding.
To my Nanny and Grandma,
Nanny, you struggled and persevered through life. You always wanted to see me in church. You wanted to see God in my life. Nanny, I am not only in church, I am part of a church that God used to change my life. I have given my life to Christ, baptized at the beach and serve alongside God followers with a vision of 50 churches, 100,000 members and $150,000,000 to accomplish our goals. We are going to change the world, one campus at a time. And best yet Nanny, my husband is a God follower - a Christian man.
Gram, you always told me stories and made me laugh. We went on amazing adventures that only women can go on together. You shared stories of life and love and how you wanted me to be with the man of my dreams - and that he had to have a sense of humor. Gram, I have found that man, and while you were able to meet him only once, he makes me laugh from the same core that you did. Gram, "We're off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of oz..."
