Heroes among men

My mom and dad are my everything. I could not have asked for better parents. If I am half the mother that my mom is my children will be very blessed. My mother has loved me unconditionally, prayed for me, encouraged me, accepted me and supported me. When I was not in the right place of my life, she always accepted me and loved me. My mother is a subservient wife, she honors my father and is a GODLY woman who serves her Lord daily. She never gave up hope in God and knew that though I has stepped out of his grace, He would not forsake me. She fell to her knees and prayed fervently for God to save me. I tease her now and tell her I put her through so much so she could become a mentor to young women. I can't thank her enough for showing me an amazing example of a wife and mother. No matter how bad things got in my life, she was one person I could count on. My heart breaks knowing what she has suffered by my actions, words and life. I owe her more than I could ever repay. But God had a purpose greater than both of our knowledge for our suffering. I love her deeply and am happy to have a close relationship with her. I can now call her mother and friend which at one point I never imagined.

My father is the perfect man in my eyes. He is the unattainable man. He is a man of honor and dignity. He is a man of God and his personality shines bright. He stops at nothing to make his children happy, smile and feel loved. He has been my provider, protector, laughter and the first man I ever loved. He loves his children and his wife with all he has. He loves the Lord with every ounce of his being. It has been an honor to see my daddy transformed by our gracious Heavenly Father. I can't say enough about him.

My parents have not only loved their children beyond measure but have poured love out to our friends, their friends, family and anyone they come in contact with. I consider it a great honor and privilege to be the daughter of Donnie Philip and Robin Morris.

Troy, my husband is another one of my heroes. He will always be a star in my sky. The one I run to, the one that wipes my tears away, makes me laugh, makes me proud. He has been such a strong presence in my life. I would not be where I am today without his love, care, concern and support. He sees more in me than I see in myself and always wants more for me than I have wanted for myself. He is my best friend. He helped me realize that there was more to life than the existence I had settled for. He helped me through some of the hardest things I have faced. He believed in me when I had lost all hope.

My brother Jonathan is another one of my heroes. I need to tell him more often how much I look up to him and admire him. I love him beyond measure. He has been my hero and role model since I was little. There was nothing that he couldn't do. Today he is serving the Lord and sharing Christ with many through his ministry. He is an amazing father to my two angels who I adore and love with all my heart. He is a great husband to my sissy in love. I am proud of who he is and what he stands for.
