Letter from a Friend

I got on facebook tonight and saw that I had a message from a girl with whom I talked with and hung out with in high school. She was a friend, but not in my super-close circle of friends, so that made this message mean all the more. While reading, I got tears in my eyes. I am so grateful that the Lord can use me in my brokenness and mistakes and when I am not aware. I have messed up so much in my faith and how I live our the Gospel. He is so good. Thank you, Lord, for allowing me to have a role in Your Kingdom. I find more reasons to praise You daily.

Hi,
I know it's been a while since you and I have talked, and even then it's been a while since we've been close. I just wanted to tell you something I was thinking about the other day.
I went to a dinner at my cousins church called Holiday For Her. Basically we sat at nicely decorated host tables and ate dinner while speakers talked to us about the church and about the real meaning of the Christmas holiday. One of the speakers was explaining the struggles she went through with believing years ago, but how she remembered some one from her childhood who always believed so strongly they inspired her. I started looking back on people in my life and Amy, you are that person for me.
There are many people who are strong in their beliefs and actions but I feel that you are the most inspirational in my life. I don't want to sound too weird, but you just shine and I wanted to say thank you for being so honest, and so You. I may not have always understood it when I was younger, but I do now.
Sorry, I know this was pretty long-winded but it has been on my mind a few days, and I felt I should tell you, so Thank You.
