so there is this really amazing girl that speaks to me even when she doesnt know it.. i know i have annoyed her, but who havent i annoyed. she is very slow to speak...and sometimes i wish she would just keep talking because all i want to do is sit and listen to her because God has given her so much wisdom. i guess in a way you could say that i am a little jelous of her, but thats life...i know God has given me the things that i need and the things that she needs and i am totally fine with that. and yes the Bible does say, "delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart" but i dont want to be her. i want to be like her.
it is amazing how humble this girl is. like no other person ive ever met. anything that happens good or bad she just gives Glory to God. it is so kool. it is a mindset that i would like to acquire, but is going to take a ton of prayer, testing, and practice. it seems like it came so naturally to her. another thing is that when she gets frustrated, she gets over really fast. she doesnt let the drama get to her. it is so great...i know i get caught up in it sometimes. but thank God for MC because who knows how crazy i would be in the drama.
when im around this girl and i "gossip" i always feel terrible. i feel convicted and i guess it is a good thing. it crazy what the prescence of oner person can do.
it also upsets me that i have made her mad. i hate it when i do that. i dont even realize it...it frustrates me more when people dont say anything to me about it. i have very poor people skills and i am slow to see things. somethi9ng has to really be explained to me for me to understand. that is another thing aboth her. is that she is amazingly smart and has this huge vocabulary, but evertime i have a coversation with her i get it. im so thankful that God has placed this girl im my life and i dont think she knows that she is amazing...even though people tell her she is all of the time.
i guess what im trying to say is that im sorry for not having ppl skills and taking situations in way too dramitically, and thank her for being such an inspiration. she doesnt even know how much i heve learned from her

Alright, you totally have people skills! I am a rather shy person and lacking in the people skills/social department and yet I really feel comfortable around you whereas with a lot of people I'm just awkward and out of place. You have a confidence about your self that is so desirable and welcoming and you are truly annointed by God. I love that you're so courageous when it comes to seeking people out and praying for them (i.e. ME haha). I know I need to work on that, like we talked about. But I have definitely reaped the benefits even from just the few times you've talked with me and prayed with me.If there's one thing the Lord's been showing me the past few months it's that he gives us different attributes and gifts and we're not supposed to level ourselves with other people. We're all just supposed to work together. So where this girl is lacking, you are probably lending her a hand! So yea, keep striving to be who God wants you to be, but just remember you're amazing the way you are too and you bless people by just being you :)
P.S. Sorry for the essay...get used to it :P
