This is the story of a man who saved my life. I lived in Memphis Tennessee my freshman year. I came from a town with a population of a little over 300 people. The school i came from was a preschool to 12th grade school all in one building and they had 950 students. I was very excited to move to the high school in Memphis because I was thinking it would be better because of accessibility.
The apartment we were living in you could hear gunshots at night an we had arguing neighbors. In my household everyone would argue. I would hide in my room to get away from the drama. I got to the point where I was so depressed I only went to school once or twice a week. I stopped turning in my homework because my teachers would lose it an then say I didn't turn it in.
Then I met Yogi, I was sitting in gym and the class before me was still in there. He came down in front of me and said "Hey, What's up?" The first thing I noticed was his amazing blue eyes and then I thought "Is he talking to me?" We grew really close or at least I got really attached to him. He was the one person I still today can tell anything to and trust completely. Every time we talked in person he would make direct eye contact. Some days he wouldn't even say anything, but just the fact he listened and was sincere about it made me feel so much better. He is a very respectful man you can see it in his eyes. He is probably the most caring person I know with a heart of gold. He is completely in devoted to with his love for Christ an he shows it in everything he does. The most important thing is he change me. Before I met him I was a christian but no where near the Jesus freak I am now. If I wouldn't have met him I wouldn't think that people that come into your life are a God send or that you are a God send to them. I would have never based everything I do on my relationship with Christ. I would have just seen how other guys in my life treated women and thought it was wrong but ok at the same time because it made a woman stronger to go throught that. I would thing that i deserved it because it's what I've had my whole life. Meeting Yogi made me more loving because, i saw the love for Christ through him and how bringing Christ in my life, at first because I wanted to impress the man who saved me. It showed me that God really has grace because I was suppose to be born paralyzed from the neck down and have mental retardation. He makes me aware that I have it so much better than others an makes me motivated to change the world in a good way. Because I met Yogi I"m still a virgin. I would have slept with several men because, I would have thought that's what it takes to be in a relationship and to get attention. I wouldn't do all teh charity work I do and I wouldn't care about others as much. More Importantly if I wouldn't have met him I might have commited suicide because I had nothing to base my life on until he brought me closer to Christ in a way.
Yogi did so much more in my life to change me and for that I want to say i love you so much dear friend and thank you. I can never thank you enough you're truly the best and I will never forget the way you change me. You are amazing don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise. I love you

God bless you!
I live in the other end of the world but I could not help but tell you this.

That's beautiful and a great story. Many blessings to you. :)
