I am most grateful for my family. God truly blessed me when He placed me with my family. Being raised in a Christian home is an amazing gift! I love being able to pray, worship, and read Scripture with my family. We are all striving to follow God and are there to support each other in that. Having two military parents is rough, but I would not have it any differently. They are tough on me because they want me to be the best I can be. They love me very much and have sacrificed so much for me. My mom even sacrificed her military career to take care of me. My dad sacrificed so much for his country, but even more for his family. I have never had to question whether or not my parents love and care for me because they have proved it through their actions every single day of my life. With being a military family comes a lot of moving. Moving every couple of years has been good, though; it has really knitted us together. My family is really closely bonded together, and I know we always will be. I am even close with my little sister. Although we argue and bicker all the time, I love her. I have always felt very protective of her and especially protective when my dad was overseas. I look out for her and love her like a second mother. She is very precious to me, and I could not ask ask for a better sister. I love my family very deeply and am so thankful God gave them to me.
