This is the section of Strive4Impact.com, where you can read, every day, something I wrote since I was 13 years old (1993).  Some of it's adolescent angst, but some of it is quite good, and I hope you'll agree.  What are we up to now? Currently, my wife and I are traveling the world and blogging our experience.  We may have been somewhere you would like to go, or maybe we could come to meet you?  Either way, you may find our reviews and advice helpful.  Check it out at http://www.CarrieAndJonathan.com

Thank You For the Power to Impact

March 1994
(Jonathan is 14)

Dear God,

Thank you for the power to impact. There were quite a few examples of the impact I'm beginning to have on others. I thank you for choosing me to help people through the struggles that life may bring. Thank you for putting just in thing elsewhere, he was so that Amy didn't die.

Call tomorrow night run smooth. (Help our brochures, not to be turned into paper airplanes! - talking about the launch of the newspaper "Tomorrow's Leaders for Peace") Help everyone to take our cause and us seriously. Help us to have an impact.

God, I'm so confused about what I should do to develop a relationship with Jackie. Maybe not confused as much as I am afraid. Afraid that what I do might jeopardize any chance I have with her. You, above all people, know how much I like her. Maybe you sent her to me or me to her. I don't know. God, I think that I'll send her a letter and some poems including hers. Help these to increase her like in me (if she likes me) or at least help her to understand me better.

Help me to show others that the voice you have given me is not for my benefit, but for theirs. John 12:30

Thank you, God,

Peace always, from your friend,
Jonathan Kraft
