Question 9.

 List 10 people who have influenced you and describe how.

 

 

1. My Mum - Of course she's had a huge influence on me...See question 3.

 

2. My Dad - again, see question 3.

 

3. Nanna Tucker - Nanna is 90 years old and still so full of joy. She has taught me what it really means to be positive in everything. She's been through alot but she never fails to laugh and see the best.

 

4. Emily Caughey - My best friend of nearly 11 years now. She's helped me grow as a person by just being my friend and sharing life. Iron sharpens iron, Emily sharpens Amy. :)

 

5. Samuel - over 2 years has grown to be my best friend. He's caused me to think bigger, dream bigger, discover more of who God is and what He has for me.

 

6. Esther Coggins - She taught me biblical principles through highschool that have shaped me into who I am today, just by nudging me when I needed it and encourging me when I did good :)

 

7. Justin & Sarah - Their marriage and friendship has blessed me so much. They lead by example by inviting me and others into their lives and being transparent in all they do. I know that the friendships and relationships I build have been influenced by my friendship with them and their relationship with eachother.

 

8. Amanda Coles - Amanda has always been one of the strongest people I know, she's shown me what it really means to be strong and carry on.

 

9. Jess Emmett - Simples. Jess reminds me that life is simple. When we over complicate things with our reasoning and rationalising she shines through with her simple living by simply loving Jesus.

 

10. Kate Harris - She has taught me the importance of having fellowship. People need people whether we like to admit it or not and Kate has this gift of being present in peoples lives when they need someone the most. Many precious chats with this one. :)

 

I'm not going to limit it to 10 because the truth is that everyone I have in my life has had some kind of influence. Relationships are so so important becuase it's only in relationship with others that we learn who we are and what we're here for.
