FAMILIAAA:

My dad makes it so easy for me to believe in a God who loves deeply and protects His children because that's what he has always done for me<3

My mama. She's my role model. She's my everything. Her love is insane. If I'm half the woman of God she is someday, that will be enough<3

IM OBSESSED WITH MY BROTHER HE IS PERFECT. Literally I love him to an unhealthy level. Broseph Tolson. His heart for Jesus. His crazy dynamic duo with Jamie (also this boy Jamie is one of the most joyful, encouraging, God-fearing guys you will ever meet. so thankful that we basically adopted him into the fam). 

Joe. wow Joe. my brother though. His heart for God's Word. His love for Uganda.&& on top of all that he is SO TALENTED! It's not even fair to the rest of the world-- sooo athletic, artsy and what not, super musical, so brainy.. the list goes on..

&& it's been 20 years and somehow he can always make me laugh<3 Always
