so i have this friend. ashlee. she is seriously like one of my best friends. i love her so very much. but she isnt as active in the church as she should be. anyway, she eats sooo much its crazy!!! BUT she is seriously a stick. i cant even tell you when i say stick! SHE IS A STICK!!! its crazy!!!! anyway. her friends and family make fun of her in a way because of it. saying she is so small, i wish i was that thin etc etc. without them knowing it was effecting her, HARD. and she has only talked to me about it. and it is just killing her inside. she wrote me this e-mail and i wrote her back, i dont know, i just felt what i said will help someone else on here. cause i really thought long and hard on what to say....so this is what i said....ps- what she wrote is the very bottom and what i wrote is on top...
ashlee, i really wanted to say this to you in person. but, after i thought about it i really should type this to you so i get absultely get everything i want to say to you right. because when im in person i sometimes dont make since, i forget to say something. because ive been thinking of this for awhile ash. to say exactly what i want to. and its just easier for me to type this out. but keep in mind i should have said all of this in person ok?
first thing ashlee, you need to know something. cause i dont think you do. ash, never ever ever forget that you as a person are no better then anyone. GOD MADE MEN EQUAL TO EACHOTHER!!!! im not better then you. niether is lexi, jessie, alex, your mom, satan, hitler, sage, THE PROPHET, we are all equal. god loves us all. we make mistakes in life ashlee. the only person god created that is better then us is his only begotten son jesus christ. want to know why, because he is already a god. jesus our brother, came to earth ash. he suffered in the garden of gestumidy ( spelled way wrong) he suffered for our sins so we wouldnt have to. ashlee, any pain, joy, sorrow, grief, saddness, relief, anything you feel jesus felt in the garden. why??? so he can tell you he knows what your going through. HE KNOWS HOW IT FEELS!!! he's done it already. so ashlee, whenever you feel alone and feel like no one understands what your going through, christ has. and when life is to much to stand, kneel ash. talk to our father. for the strength to go on. there is so much he wants to tell you, to help you. but he cant. because its a 2 way confersation, and he cant without you responding.
if you didn't notice i said we are no better then satan. you may know this already who knows. i dont know. ashlee you have to understand. god took his time to creating every child. he spent his on time on you to make you perfect, to make you ashlee! why? because you are HIS child, and that is what makes you special. back to satan, he is our brother! in heaven before the world was created, before adam and eve came to earth. jesus and satan both perposed a plan for us. jesus' plan was for us to come to earth get a body, live righteously, BUT have our free agency, so we can think, make choices, etc etc. satan's plan was different. he wanted us to come to earth and live by the way he told us to live. so we as people choose what plan to go with. ash, because you are here today you chose jesus' plan. 1/3 ash, 1/3 of gods children went with satan. thats a lot ash. why do i bring this up?? because satan got mad, that we didnt chose his plan and that we are here today and got a body. because god would not give him a body. he is so unhappy. he is just hating life. and being the way he is, he doesn't want us happy. he wants us to be just as miserable as he is. and he will do anything to get you there. he knows you have the chance to become a godess and because he doesn't he doesnt think its fair. he doesnt want you to be one. ash he is trying hes hardest so you do not become one. every bad thought you've had, every bad word you've said, EVERYTHING that brings a tear to chirst's eye was influenced by satan.
you cant let people get to you. you have to remember you are a child of god. do you know what that means? you're special! he made you. he made you just the way he wanted you to be. so some people are tall, short, brown eyes, green eyes, dark skin ( which was actually a curse god put on the nephites but thats another story ), white skin, big, SKINNY , ash do you think god cares? i dont. why would you if he made u like that?
ash your going to cross people who are trying to bring you down without knowing it. shayla wasn't on my side. she didnt know what she said or what she did brought me down. and even though i told her she wasn't open to listening. ashlee i know its hard. trust me i know. ive had to overcome a habit ive done since i was 8. it was the hardest thing ive ever done. i felt satans power trying to bring me down. but i felt that saviors love lifting me. have you ever felt a warmth wrap you? like god is hugging you? because you are his child? he wrapped his warmth around me telling me i could do it. ashlee, do you know how long it takes to break a habit? it takes 3 weeks to make a habit and twice as long to break a habit. ashlee, next monday it will have been 6 weeks for me. i did it. but not alone. i could never have done it alone. god was behind me backing me up.
i just cant stress enough ashlee how much god really loves you and cares for you and he cries ash everytime you bring urself down.
dont care what the world thinks is cool or uncool. dont care if people are jealous of ur size. the only people who should care, is you, god, and his son.
ashlee, pray to god for the strength to overcome this. i know you'll be in my prayers. but god wants to talk to you ashlee. he has so much to say!!!
i want you to know i love you!!
you are my sister. and you are a child of god
be what god made you
love always and forever alyse ottoson
