I shall begin my new daily routine with someone very near and dear to my heart, Rev. Justin White. He started off as the new youth pastor at my church back in Virginia, and quick rose to stardom among the youth and adults. He has been there for me going on six years now, despite the space and time differences.
One of the many reasons I love Justin is his ability to listen. See, I like to talk. A lot. And he doesn't mind listening to me prattle on, whether it be about the newest piece of art I've been working on, my new dreams and ambitions, or whether it be in tears, as I desperately seek his guidance on the newest hurt on my heart. Back in high school, one of my favorite pastimes was running over to the church after school and just sitting in his office to recount all that was my epic (or not) day.
Justin is more than just a pastor. He's more than an example of faith. He's a counselor who cracks the best jokes when you're about to "snot yourself" from crying so hard (his own words, of course). He's a Monty Python fanatic. A wine connoisseur. A lover of all that is faith and friendship. But most important to me, he's my friend, and I hope he knows how much that means to me. So Justin? Thank you, again, for all that you have been, and continue to be to me ♥.
