Reading at a young age- what an impact!

From a young age I, Adele, was encouraged to read, read and read some more. As a preteen biographies caught my attention. A very wise woman encouraged me daily to read, learn and then share that with others. This mentor, encourager, teacher, surrogate Grandmother still loves to soak up knowledge. She desires others to learn and passionately educate themselves. So I tried and I believe today our family is living out what I learned and admired so long ago. I ate up these biographies of great individuals like Andrew Murray, Fanny Crosby, Corrie ten Boom and the list goes on. There were 2 women which made the greatest impact on me as a teen. The life stories of Isobel Kuhn and Amy Carmichael were unbelievable. Each biography was full of adventure, scary situations and riveting decisions. Yet what hit me the most was their committment to saving and loving children as well as sharing the Gospel. I tucked away these examples and committed that someday if I did, Lord willing :), get married we would adopt a child and shower them with love and security.
