My older brother, Dylan wrote me this email to me the day of my birthday. We talked previously that day but it was 2 o’ clock AM in New Jersey, so he was pretty delerious on the phone. When I recieved the email later on that day I cried while reading it because it’s full of everything I believe and it’s what I want to share with everyone I know and one of the coolest most amazing people I know sent it to ME. So I decided to share it here on my blog for all of ya’ll to read, hope you enjoy it as much as I do!!!!

babeeeee i love youuu!!!! Well im sitting here in my room. Its 10 in the morning i just woke  up and I pulled out my labtop cuz i wanted to e-mail you. I feel bad cuz last night i talked to you but i was like half asleep. I wish i was more excited and awake on the phone, But whatever it was still cool i got to hear ur voice Daun. I love u so much. I can’t really express how i feel. So much is happening in our lives. We really are chosen ones. I know ur having an incredible time and i cant wait to hear all the stories when you get back. Todays ur birthday! Your 20 years old! wow! Well we’re both growing up and I know its the perfect time cuz God put us here to have so much fun with him. He put us here to be free from all stupid-ness and to live crazy adventerous lives. It’s cool cuz we’ll probably end up helping like millions of kids while we’re at it.

There’s 2 things that I have found to be the most powerful things in the world. Number 1 is faith. Faith is seeing things that are invisible to the physical eye. An example of this could be you seeing perfection in a little african girl who is real messed up. Your faith is real and you carry it with you. When you enter a room people can feel your faith. They may not know what it is, but it’s real. It’s like the force. Another example could be your imaginitive visions of God. For instance you are with a group of people and in your mind you see Jesus in them and around them and dancing and singing to them. This is real too. The 2nd other most powerful thing is Love. This is closely united to Faith. The more faith you have the more love you have and the more love you have the more faith you’ll have. By the way you already have these things. You don’t have to try and do them. You have so much Love in you. It’s the power in you that comes out in your words and actions. Its the joy that you have for little children. EVERYONE on the planet can feel love. Its the universal language. They will almost always love you back, unless theyre really screwed up.Â

anyway. lol. went on a little tangent there. Nothing really matters. As corny as it sounds just live and have fun. Live for your dreams. Enjoy life. The beauty of the good news (the gospel) is that Jesus did EVERYTHING for you at the cross. So you don’t have to do ANYTHING! hooray! lol. God already loves you so perfectly and your already righteous and holy and perfect before His eyes. So never fall into the trap of thinking you have to like “work for God” or “do the Lord’s work”. God’s work for you is to live and have fun and be you and do whatever you want. He trusts you.

It’s so funny cuz once you accept that freedom that He gives you, you end up wanting to do something totally good anyway (like go to africa and help kids). LOL still on the tangent. hey but i love u so much. i miss you so much. Im so proud of you. I’d definitely like to do crazy stuff together in our lives. So thankful for you. Our family is so blessed. Im sure ur listenin to the swazi song 🙂
