Thanksvember 13 - My Best Friend Becca

Today is my best friend Becca's birthday and I am thankful for her! I love that we have become so close over the past few years, especially this last year. I love that we can't go a conversation without laughing about something. It's been so fun serving beside you at church in Sunday School and Dance Team and at all the youth events we have. God is doing a great work in your life and shaping you into a Godly woman!

I love that we share a passion for missions and that you have been my partner in fundraising so many times - you're like my right hand! It's always a ton of work, but somehow you manage to make it fun! I loved serving in Jamaica with you, and it was an honor to be in South Africa with you too. India is going to be epic (we are so going to ride an elephant!) ... right after we're done fundraising! Lol. I'm surprised we ever actually get anything done because we goof off so much, but that's what makes it all work.

So many new traditions, like mandatory polar plunge at the Anta Boga hotel in Bloemfontein and candying everything we can think of at New Year's! I hope we'll have many more years of traditions to come. And what about all of our inventions, like Wabapala?! What would this world be like without leotu jivay?! Forks - need I say more?

There are so many things about you that I admire, like the size of your heart and your passion for people. When you see someone in need you don't hesitate to help. I admire your passion and love for Christ & am so proud in how much you've grown in your walk with Him. You are super talented in so many things but you never take the glory for it - you always credit Christ for your accomplishments. You have an uncanny ability to connect with and relate to people from all walks of life and you do an especially great job with our teens at church. You work hard & you play hard too!

I am so glad that God brought us together. Thank you for being such an awesome best friend and happy birthday!!! May God continue to richly bless your life and your family.

One of my favorite pics of Becca that gives great insight into who she is and how big her heart is.

Hahah! I love this pic because it's just so goofy! No one else was concerned about collecting Coke cans like we were. Or as obsessed as we were with Manna Chips!

There's a bit of ninja in all of us ... I guess I am rubbing off on you! Lol

Notice the candied cookie & potato chip : )
