People will affect you. They will impact your ideas and the way you perceive yourself

Who are the top five people who inspire(d) you and why?

My grandmother, Ineida Christine Holland Harveston– She is simply amazing. She’s always been my number one supporter and has loved me through everything! She is a really strong Christian and always puts God number one in her life. She has taught me how to love others and most things I’ve learned.

My best friend’s grandfather, George Hatten– He was the most zealous Christian I’ve ever met. He was on fire for God from the moment he woke up to the moment he went to bed at night. He didn’t only believe in God or love God, but Jesus Christ was his best friend, his everything. Whenever he passed away this past summer, I know that God was just so happy to get him home. A saint entered Heaven that day. Everytime I ever saw him, he was smiling and he was positive. He was a total inspiration to me.

My parents, Robin Renee Harveston Nelson && Gary Neal Nelson– My mom loves the Lord with her whole being. She loves him with her whole heart, mind and soul, but most importantly, with her life. She always reminds me to think before I act and ask myself if my life is pleasing to God. My dad also loves the Lord and shows it. He has been through so much in his life…a tough childhood, the death of a best friend..but my dad loves me and I’ve always known it.

My sister, Rachel Christine Nelson Kelly– My sister has gone through a lot of hard times and a big crazy phase, but for the past few years, she has been an amazing Christian. She inspires me through everything she does. Whenever I grow up, I’d like to be just like her. =]
