Not once in my life have I remembered looking up to a man or women. My past experience with people in my life is that in one way they will always let you down. I am writing this letter to thank you. Thank you for everything you have done for me. Thank you is not even enough to repay you this is why I will repeat it everyday,and in this letter at least a million times. You are my lord, my god, my savior and my everything thank you jesus christ of nazareth. Thank You for being there when I felt abandoned you never left my side, I could feel your presences by my side crying with me whenever i've been hurt by people .
My biological father told me I was a mistake that he wish he never had me, gave me only hardships,permanent physical scar’s, hit me, screamed at me, and destroyed my belongings ever since I was a kid. But you only listened to my problems, was compassionate and gave me your love. Your love was sincere all you asked me to do was to obey. Everything you asked from me that was in the scriptures,your words in print to help me better my life. Everytime I disobeyed I would get myself into trouble. Like the time I was seventeen when I strayed away from your teachings I was being threatened to go to jail for two and a half years minimum. The only thing I could do was to run back to you, pray and put my life into your hands. After that I learned that you are the only judge in this world that decides who gets to go to jail or not. You gave me a verdict of not guilty, because I made a mistake and was blinded by my ignorance. Ever since I stepped into that church when I was a young kid no older than five, you adopted me and made me into one of your children and I thank you for becoming my mentor and my father.
Back when I lost my faith and had no meaning in life I was a lost cause. All I cared about was money so I could move out on my own. I started selling weed to save up enough money so I wouldn't have to deal with an abusive father. Going to school was the last thing on my mind thinking I would never be able to afford it on my own. I was always getting into trouble and getting into fights with kids and my teachers. But you changed me into a better person and I thank you. You gave me prosperity and faith. Faith not only in you but in myself, that there were other ways out my situation, that didn't have to do with selling weed. After you cleared my mind from all this negativity and enlightened my mind I realized that the one thing that was always at my reach to help me escape was education.
After getting my act together I decided to get my C.N.A license. I got a job working at a nursing home where I took care of the elderly. Soon after I got offered a job as a home health aid taking care of a man with parkinsons disease. This was my highest paying job ever including the one that involved me doing illegal things. Even though this job affected my studies I managed to save up enough my for my own place. I was also given a local scholarship so that I could go to school at bunkerhill for free. Now I am a hard working independent person who turned his life around and is getting a degree in nursing.
You made all my dreams come true and more, thank you Jesus christ

Vitor,
ReplyDeleteThis is an excellent letter - full of sincerity, raw honesty, reflection, and devotion.
It seems like you are learning from your past, and that you are moving forward in a more positive direction now. That is amazing. I think you're on the right track.
Your letter is well written, and it has a raw honesty that is gripping.
One issue: Where's your poem? You should included an Ode at the bottom of this post. That's half of the credit.
