Today is also a very important person in my life's birthday. His name is Jordan Jones.
I met Jordan the first summer I moved to Texas. He worked at the summer camp I've gone to since I moved here. He was a lifeguard and he was cool, so naturally everyone wanted to be his friend. He reached out to me and my friend Riana when we were about 8 years old. We were literally the only two people he hung out with, we were inseparable. All the kids would come up and ask if he would come do something with him and he would always ask our approval. *heart melt*Every summer after the first, Riana and I would get off that bus, find Jordan and run straight to him. Throughout the years he taught me how to be a modest godly woman and he exhibited/ taught me qualities I should look for in a male. One thing I remember he talked to the boys at camp about was being a warrior for God and for the woman that you hold spiritual responsibilities for. He also made me feel so LOVED. One summer when Riana and I were older we left camp, and came home. The usual. Then I started getting multiple phone calls from people who were at the session of camp after me telling me to check the pictures on the Camp website. So I logged on and saw this:
There was about five different pictures of him on the site with this sign. Once again, heart melt. You don't know how much this touched my heart, even to this day. Jordan was/is the ultimate friend and leader in my life. I want to find and marry a man who loves Jesus as passionately as this guy. I look up to him so much.
The past few summers Jordan has not worked at the camp and our attempts to meet up outside of camp have fell through, but there is an opportunity for me to see him this summer! So I'm praying, Lord willing, that it happens. And if not, one of my close friends will be going to school in the town that he lives in, so it's practically inevitable I will get to see him this year and I am SO excited! Happy birthday Jordan Jones, you're amazing!
