My birthday is winding to a close, and I look back on my teenage years (still have a little ways to go..) and I see you guys. I'm going to take the time and write a little something about each of you.
[name] Man, it's been fun. Real fun...and it's not over yet, cheef. Like, you're the best guy friend I could ever ask for and more. I love how you appreciate my beliefs, even though you don't entirely agree. It's so hard to find someone like that. Especially in a guy, in a world where macho is vital, and true friendship is looked at as a weakness rather than a strength. Thank you for being a good friend to me. Thank you for believing in me.
[name]. Wow, this is hard. So many things to say, so many places to start. I know I've told you this, but you are an amazing person and you are such...such an inspiration to me. The way you follow His will, the advice you give me (even when I'm freaking out), and even the way you carry yourself as a Christian woman inspires me to be better than I am, everyday. Thank you for being a good friend to me. Thank you for being a person of God I can trust in.
[name]. Everytime I see you I smile. There is such a joy around you; you can't stay sad around you for long. Like I said with [name]...you are younger than me in years, but you make up for it in spiritual wisdom. You guys have been pouring into me and praying for me for as long as I've known you. I'm so glad that God put me in your path. I'm so glad that I have had the opportunity to be an example to you, and to pour into you and [name]'s lives. Don't stop being who God has called you to be. This is only the beginning of great things. I know it.
Jeremiah 29:11:
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
God Bless. and take care,
Jeff
