Hey girl, I love you so much but I seriously can't let this go without a comment. I don't mean this to discourage you but to encourage you a way that you probably won't be excited about; I hope you will let God work throught this and not feel as though I am trying to crush you. Know that I only do this to help you see this situation in a different light, we all need that at times.
First of all I would like to say that It was a great honor to be picked. I had just talked to you online last week about how my leadership has felt down. The second that Jason called and his voice changed tonesand he told me that I had been picked I started crying. I really don't understand why God is allowing me, someone so insignificiant to go to something like this, let alone just being apart of this youth group. Everyone in our youth group is amzing and I just wish that more of us were able to go. This is good though. It doesn't matter how many people go, it's always the way that the people let God use them that blesses me so much.
What I had wanted to say to your comment was two things. Firstly I would encourage you to stop trying. God has tried so many times to teach me this. Please listen fully to what I say. I don't mean, stop trying, as in your faith walk, but just stop trying to make people think of you in a certin way. You are who God makes you. Lead when God opens the door.
Matthew 10:37-45 James and John were asking Jesus for him to place them at his right hand or left hand in glory, and Jesus says, "You will drink the cup I drink and be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with, but to sit at my right or left is not for me to grant. These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared." I hope you will realize that it wasn't the people that voted for a certin canidate, but God is the one who puts these things in position. If your going to be uspset at anyone don't be upset at the people that got picked or the process in which was used, or even Jason, be upset at God. Doesn't that sound ridiculous when you think about it? He was the one who allowed for all of teens to go who were selected. And know that it's not as punishment but it's just God's will for the moment. And to be honest, maybe you will get the chance to go some year and maybe you won't, the only one in charge of that is God.
Again, I love you and Just know that I want to help you. I will always be here for you and will be open to letting God use me to bless you when he sees fit. You bless me alot, Keep walking in Him.
