I was contacted by Marquis Who’s Who in America back in 2024 about being included in their publication - but I had forgotten about it until the book arrived this week.
Who’s Who was started in 1899 as a way to document individuals whose work and contributions became part of the historical record of American life.
Over the years, its pages have included inventors, writers, scientists, ministers, educators, artists, business leaders, and presidents. People like Thomas Edison, Maya Angelou, Billy Graham, Ernest Hemingway, and Martin Luther King Jr.have been included over the years.
So! It was humbling see my own name in it. 🤭✨
But what moved me most was not the recognition.
It was realizing that when they asked to list my greatest achievement, the answer I gave was this:
“Learning to love, and be loved by God.”
💥
It’s my greatest achievement and such an honor to have it documented in the pages of time, in the Library of Congress!!
Thank you Marquis Who’s Who for including this small town girl whose life and work have been profoundly impacted by faith, grace, and the goodness of God.
