There are many people in life that do wondrous things and do not always get the recognition they so often deserve. Why? Most notably, these types seldom seek affirmation for their deeds. Their work comes out of who they are and with motives to serve selflessly. I happen to know such an individual and am honored to say so. She has been a confidant to whom I owe much debt of gratitude. She is a pillar, a voice of wisdom and reason, and one of the most faithful individuals I have yet to meet. This woman many of you know as Glover, or as her name says on her birth certificate, Jennifer Glover (a little side note, you will always be Glover even when you get married). We have been on many adventures, through so many "seasons" of life and have seen the best and worst of one another. Your faithfulness amazes me, Glove. You push through criticisms, set backs, disappointments, and you do it all with fearlessness. You trust in God with all that you are and it is because of this, you have been able to remain steady and stand tall. You love the broken-hearted like none other I have seen. You do not fixate on cultural norms or what society says about success or beauty, but you love people unconditionally right where they are. You do not try to change people, yet you love them through their storms. You love those most people ignore and with a genuine heart. I believe your heart to touch and affect the world through missions and prayer will take place; if anyone can do it, you can!
I love the fact I got to live with you for three years, what a sight that must of been to outsiders! We were quite a team in all that we did; a dynamic duo some might say. The people we met and prayed for, the road trips we went on, my boyfriends you put up with ;) You are the truest friend anyone could ask for. We had Jerry's class together! Sorry for the random memories but as I write this, I meditate on all we have been through and all that we have experienced together and that is something I will never lose. You make imprints on people's hearts from the moment they meet you and you have forever imprinted mine. This is my living eulogy to you, my dear friend! Thank you for all that you are, not only to me, but to everyone you meet! Love you so much! Ruth 1:16
