BEING HONEST.: I never do these...

I never do these...

But I've seen a lot of other people dedicate posts to one person.

And I've decided to do that.

Yazz, here you go.

Yazzy:

She loves Helvetica with me. And surprisingly, has seen the documentary as well! How many people watch font documentaries? Not many. And how many know they even exist? We did.

She just told me that she was interested in graphic design. Not surprising. Why? Because Yazz does almost everything. She doesn't really surprise me anymore with things because I expect her to tell me new fun facts about herself every time we talk. So just because she doesn't surprise me doesn't mean she doesn't fascinate me. She's fun.

She knows what it's like to be a thinker. And sympathizes with me. But I'm convinced she thinks waaaay more than me. Her brain is just bigger. And wonderful. And holds so much valuable information. I'm impressed with the ability God's given her to retain information. And correct information at that.

The other day when I told her I had a newly discovered fascination with Benjamin Franklin and George Whitefield, she told me she had Benjamin's whole biography-thing. Of course.

Her Twitter? Praises in everything she sends. Her blog? Bible verses everywhere. Our conversations? Edifying and fulfilling. I love it.

She has been through so much. And is so strong. The Holy Spirit has renewed her strength over and over and over. And I love to watch her grow. She is so dang passionate. She loves ministering to Jr. High girls. She loves helping those with autism. She loves high school students. She loves to sing. She loves to lead. She loves to be the friend that people come to. She prayerfully listens and responds when necessary. She has a passion for Truth. She has a passion for the Word. She has a passion for the Spirit. She has a passion for her friends.

She writes. Draws. Gets tattoos. Paints. Decorates her room. Moves a lot. Sews. Makes felt owls. Writes. Reads. Studies. Gets excited. Digs deep. Writes notes. Makes bracelets. Dresses well. She asks questions. She gives advice. She seeks wise counsel. She encourages. She knows what to say. She gives hugs. She listens. She talks. She teaches. She exhorts. She overcommits because she loves to help and do new things and discover all the mysteries of life. And as much as she probably feels way too busy sometimes, I think it's adorable how much she loves to be involved and sometimes just can't say "No."

She has lived everywhere. She's traveled a lot. She can tell you the best cafes to go too and the fun stores to shop at. She takes pictures. She loves memories. She loves the seasons. She wears cute rain boots. She shares her rain boots.

Yazz.

She is a blessing.

Her passionate love for Jesus

overflows.

And I hope she knows that

I love her.
