As I think of the past 21 years of my life… or what I remember of it… I can’t help but think… what an awesome Creator, Protector, Provider & Savior that I have.
He protected me as Satan whispered lies to my mom about aborting me.
He protected me as I came into this world @ 27 weeks… (2 ½ months early)
He protected mom & I through very hard & uncertain days…
He provided us with food & shelter
He later provided a man to love us both… a man who treats me like I am his daughter.
He saw me through eye surgery @ 3.
He saw me through another scary time with my eyes in second grade
He became my personal Savior later that year.
He continues to show me how much I need Him… how desperately wicked my heart was before He lived there.
He provided me with great friends in middle school (Krysta, JoHelen, Jenna, Chase, Stephanie & others)
He protected me from a lot of “worldly” things through middle school & into high school.
He provided an amazing coach & math teacher… who I am convinced I wouldn’t have made it out of algebra with out… (thanks “turtle” no one else would have had as much patience with Leslie & I.)
He protected me through a relationship that in no way honored Him & in that showed me that I am never out of His reach… even when I didn’t care about my relationship with Him at the time.
He was my Peace, Protector, Provider, & Strength when I found out I was sick
He allowed me to finish high school & I praise Him alone for that accomplishment b/c w/o Him I would have never made it.
He provided a way to take a year off for treatment… w/o loosing my TOPS.
In the time off I got to substitute which allowed me to get a feel for the classroom & see if teaching is really what I want to do
He blessed me with a great job that worked around my schedule & that allowed me to save money for school.
He is now providing a way for me to do what I have wanted for so long… go to Tech & pursue my career goals.

Whitney you are awesome! You have been through so much and still continue to keep God first. I admire you for that and whether you know it or not, this summer you were a blessing and you with your leadership brought me closer to HIM. I love you and I thank you!
