Hey

Hey so Matt sent me this in his latest letter. One of his recent converts wrote it. Tell me what you think.

I have been a walking angel for years

Numbing my feelings to prevent my tears

With that in mind I just sit back-n observe

Shining bright then fading on the actions that occur.

Mistakes are made when there’s limited connection

So I redeem myself as I glare at my reflection

The time that I’ve wasted is my biggest regret.

Spent in some places that I will never forget.

Just sitting-n thinking about the things I’ve done

The crying, the laughing the hurt and the fun

Now it’s just me and my hard-driven guilt

Behind a wall of emptiness I allowed 2 be built

I am trapped in my body, just wanting to run

Back to my dreams where there’s laughter-n fun

Now memories of the past flash through my head

And the pain is obvious by the tears I shed

I ask myself why? N where I went wrong

I guess I was weak when I should have been strong

Living for the truth and the wings I’ve grown

My feelings were lost, afraid to be shown

As I look within, it’s easy to see

The great fear that I had, afraid to me

So a I remix my flavor and serve as a missionary

Never unclear estimate Heavenly Father, his plans are revolutionary

Close your eyes, imagine yourself in my shoes

Imagine trying so hard but you always lose

Who do I turn to now with a confuse mind

Shutting out all that pain made my eyes blind

But I held on to faith like never before

June 14 missionaries came knocking at the door

And ever since that day my heart awaken

To the truth-n knowledge that have my flesh shaken

As I pray and pray-n continue to pray

Heavenly Father reassure me that it will be okay

It’s okay my child just trust in me

I will guide your heart where it needs to be.

Your pain my child is blocking your view

So grab my hand as I carry you through.

For every painful past

There’s an outstanding purpose!

And obedient to the truth

Be humble to your election

Never fluctuate your faith

Jesus Christ is your protection.
