This is an email I recieved from one of my sweet Young Life girls. What a honor it is to work with high school girls like her. This is not to brag or boast, but just to show you how much I am soooooooo not worthy of being used in these kids' lives but He still chooses to use me...broken and all...
erin elizabeth conner!
first of all, happy tuesday. i hope you slept last night, and i hope you have an awesome day today. secondly, i feel like i need to tell you this. i love you so much erin. i dont think that anyone in my entire life has made such an impact as you have. not only do i strive to be just like you every single day, but i admire your strength and willingness to stand up for God. you prove to me every time i see you that it IS possible to live life without negativity and conformity. (contrary to popular belief.) it amazes me SO MUCH that you can stay as faithful as you are and how headstrong you are. you inspire me to make choices for me, regardless of what others are doing or thinking. i wrote about how much of an impact you have made in my life in every single one of my college essays, because when i was asked, "who has made the most impact in your life, and why?" you came to mind every single time. i dont know what the hell you were thinking taking on this stubborn, impatient semi-alcoholic atheist a year and a half ago, but i am glad you did, e. i love that i can talk to you about anything, regardless of the situation. i love that you don't juge me, or make assumptions based on my actions. erin, you are truly genuine, and i want you to know from the bottom of my heart that i care for you so so so much, and i am SO thankful that God has placed you in my life. i am SO mad at him right now for taking you out of my life, but i know that he needs you to take on other little brats just like me and show him to them. And he also knows that i will need somewhere cool to visit during college when i am going crazy. so thank you for everything you do, and i love you. hang in there, babes. just like you tell me all the time, things will be okay, i promise. :)
Like the Young Life tagline says, "I was made for this".
