Thankful Thursday - My Sister

Today my little sis got on a plane and flew to Virginia to begin a journey that she has waited so very long to take. She is about to become an IMB (International Mission Board) missionary through a program that they offer called Journey man. I have been an emotional basket case all day (because of her and b/c my hubby is in mediations right now regarding the future of FBC Anna's worship facility.) When I think about this incredible desire that Suzanne had as a jr. high student to go to a different country and serve the Lord and how she has waited oh so patiently on Him to send her out, I just tear up every time. If you have never had the privilege to meet my sis, I will tell you that she is one of the most AMAZING people in the WORLD and I know that I am more than blessed to have her as a sibling and a best friend. She has always been way wiser than her age and so mature, such a deep thinker about godly things and someone that people are just drawn to because of her integrity and character. She is one of the happiest/positive people I know with such a servant's heart. All she desires is to glorify God in all she does. (Seriously! She is this amazing!!:)

I am so anxious and excited about what the next year has in store for Suzanne. In a selfish way I totally don't want her to leave. I need her!! BUT I also know that the Lord has called her to serve Him in this way and who am I to try and stop it? I have full confidence that He will place her right where He desires for her to be and that He will use Suz in a mighty way for His kingdom. I am just so thankful that my sister is my very best friend and that we have more crazy and funny memories together than I can count. She has always been there for me. ALWAYS. And this weekend I will daily be on my knees as she is in Virginia taking her next steps in her journey with Him. I couldn't be more proud of my sweet sis! Will you join me in praying for Suzanne this weekend and in the months to come? Little sis - you are dearly loved!!
