Day 7#
~A Picture Of Someone Who Has Had A Big Impact On You~

A Person who has had a big impact on me is my dear friend, Emily.
I first got to know Emily through my Youth Group, she was my small group leader. Throughout the year we got to know each other, and we found out that we had a lot in common -only she was several years older than me, of course.

Something that was very impacting on me, was the way how Emily encouraged me. You see, I have always felt like my spiritual life was inadequate. I felt like everyone had this great relationship with God, and I didn't. And because I didn't have that real close relationship, God would never use me for anything -and I would probably never become more than a christian 'wanna-be'. I'd probably live my life endlessly trying to attain a relationship with him, and never attain the relationship that I wanted.

Well, Emily never saw me in that way. I remember one day she told me that God was going to do great things with me, and that he has a plan for me. Nobody had ever told me that before, and those words that she spoke to me were words that deep inside I was longing to hear. I longed for someone to believe in me, and tell me that I had a purpose. And it gave me hope, as well as it pushed me to strive -so that one day I would do great things.- Because I wanted what Emily said, to come true.

Deep within all our hearts, I think we all long for someone to believe in us. And I want to thank Emily for believing in me and encouraging me these past few years.

Have a blessed day,
