Who in your life are you thankful for? I have a whole list of people of whom have impacted my life in such a way that they deserve a thank you. With thanksgiving around the corner we all have so much to be thankful for! I want to take this time to give credit to the many people who have made a difference in my life, people who helped make me into the man I am today.
1. Bro. I.V. Height
My pastor groing up who helped instill in me a love for hearing the word of God preached.
2. Bro. Jurl Mitchell
A man challenged me every Sunday for 3 years to be a better person.
3. Bro. Jay Pollan
My youth minister who was the best father figure I have ever had. While we were not the closet, He more than most should get credit for helping me to be the man I am today.
4. Bro. Glen Tropp
My former pastor who if not for him and his commitment to God I may never have surrendered to preach.
5. Aaron Smith
6. Jacob Waller
7. Keaton Harper
All three I consider to be my best friends. They have been there for me to hold me accountable and to push me to be better. All three surrendered to preach around the same time I did. Watching them struggle with that decision helped me more than they will ever know.
8. Mike Harper
9. Teressa Simmering
10. Jack Barker
11. Jack Easterling
All of these have been at one point or another a teacher of mine. The time they gave to teach youth showed me that there are people who truley cared about the future of our country.
12. Dr. Joey Dodson
My Greek teacher last year whose passion for the word of God is inspiring. I have seen very few people who have such a passion. His enthusiasm for teaching Greek only makes me want to study it more.
There is no way I could ever give thanks to everyone who has impacted my life and I am sure I have left some one off of this list that deserves to be there. All I know is without people like these I would not be the person I am today and I am truely thankful for all of these people who God has placed in my life.
