It could be anyone, Jesus included. I'll go first.

I've been married to my husband for 7 years. Shout out to all the married people out there.

He is a better person than me. He bears with more, sacrifices, and works hard in a quiet way, without drawing attention to it. He forgives easier.

In a world of social media where people desire attention and praise for everything, his non self seeking example is what Im striving for.

If Jesus is included, then I'd have to go with him first. Beyond that, we are all sinners, so it's hard to "look up" to anyone, though I am grateful for those politicians who are fighting for the things I believe in. But there is a group I can't help look up to: Christian musicians. I am really inspired by some of the Christian music I hear.

After I became a Christian through reading a little book given to me by the local vicar it was actually his lovely wife who mentored and discipled me. She was the lovliest person I ever met and she continued to work and walk in faith until her death a couple of weeks ago at the age of 96. I don't think my faith foundations would be so strong without her influence, encouragement and inspiration. She was Josephine.
