Before I was around.

The first post of my blog is dedicated to my grandmother, Lillian Snider. Before I was born, she planted a seed.

Whenever I am asked about the story of my life, my answer begins with her. She had a strong heart for missions and a love for her family. She prayed for those passions every day. She invested what was valuable to her in those two treasures for years. She invested beyond her own life, beyond her generation and beyond what she was aware of.

I believe that the fruit of my life is the fruit of hers.

What I learned from her is the principle of fruit. Fruit comes from seed. There is no fruit that is born outside of a seed being planted- If I see fruit, it came from seed; If I want fruit, a seed must be planted.

Thank you, Lillian.
