You're the Best Friend Anybody Ever Had: Jeannie

 So, this month we are talking about my have had a wild ride! I have been super busy running around with this girl trying to get everything set up. I have known her for quite some time. Say hello to Jeannie. 

Jeannie is Alaina's mom and I have known Jeannie just as long as I have known Alaina. When I first started going to church I had to have people take me. My parents worked odd hours during this time and could not take me. I did have someone else that I use to know doing it, but when they were no longer able to take me Jeannie and Carl (her wonderful husband) stepped up and started picking me up along the way.

Jeannie is one of the people in my life that I have come to to prayer and advice. She is always very patient and will to help me when I have been at my worst. She is always ready to take me in, give me a cup of coffee, and let me vent. She is one of the sweetest people in the whole world and I love her for that.

Jeannie is someone who will always go out of her way to help someone. She is the first to volunteer for projects, parties, events, or even move. She is very inspirational when it comes to this because when you gives it her all to help someone it's always above and beyond to help. She goes out of her way to make every event feel extra special. She always uses her keen eye and enormous talent to being a smile to everyone's face. 

 

I love that she always makes me feel welcomed in her house. I am welcomed for every holiday and birthday. She makes me feel like I am part of the family. The moment that Alaina and I became friends I was treated like a daughter. I won't lie I am not sure any of us at the time that Alaina and I bunked together at camp that we would have been so close for so long. I didn't think that I would have been this close to her either. Most people aren't friends with their friend's mom but it's  really a friendship that I needed in my life.

I have learned a lot from Jeannie. How to be a good friend is one of the things that I have learned. She doesn't give up on people. She is always willing to help anybody when they need the help. She loves to the best of her ability. She will be the first one there to help you when you are down. The first one to check on you. The first one to bring food. The first one when you send out the SOS. I love her for it and I inspire to be her.

God knew that I needed a friend like Jeannie and so He gave her to me. I am thankful that He has put us together because she has helped me to become a better person. I pray that one day I get to be as wonderful as she is. She is the friend that I never knew I was gonna need and the one the God so graciously gifted me with.
