Dear Alexa,
It has been said that "people are people." And while in some senses that is true, if you look around you will see that some individuals stand out in the crowd. All thoughout history there have been people who have marked their generation by the impact that their lives have made. They may have made a great contribution to the world with their ideas and talents, or maybe they have changed the world through their service and sacrifices.
When I have been thinking about you lately, I have been thinking, "Why not you?" Why could it not be you who stands out in your generation as someone who changed the world? Why could you not be one who marks this world for the better through your life?
And the answer is this: there is no reason that you can't be one whose life counts in ways bigger than yourself. The key is to take who you are (your gifts, ideas, talents, heart, mind, energy, etc)and line it up with who God is (his character, power, will, pleasure, purposes, ideas, etc).
Lean heavily upon the people that God puts in your life, and allow one question to always be dwelling in your heart and mind: "Why not me?"
