we are so incredible grateful that you are our sister and best friend. mike and i love you and bryan so very, very much. your heart alli, is so attractive and gorgeous. it is an honor to watch you love people into God's Kingdom. the way you are seeking hard after our Father is so inspiring and encouraging. my heart is continually encouraged by you: even as i write this i am surrounded by several notes i have hanging up that you have written to mike and i over the last year. words of encouragement, The Word God has given you for us, prophetic words of hope that have meant all the difference to us. thank you for loving us so well. you are hands-down one of the most thoughtful and creative people we know. your ability to to be vulnerable and speak your heart into situations is incredible. thank you for loving our kids in such a kind way. they all adore aunt alli:)) You are like a "great oak" planted for God's glory.
"THe Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is upon me, for the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to comfort the brokenhearted and to proclaim that captives will be released and prisoners will be freed. He has sent me to tell those who mourn that the time of the Lord's favor has come, and with it, the day of God's anger against their enemies. To all who mourn in Israel, he will give a crown of beauty for ashes, a joyous blessing instead of mourning, festive praise instead of despair. In their righteousness, they will be like great oaks that the Lord has planted for his own glory." Isaiah 61:1-3
