How to have a successful long distance relationship with yourself.

Dear Sammy,

Its Sammy from 1999-2003. How’s it going in the future?

2011? Wow. I can’t imagine what that’s like. Let me guess.
Your VCR’s play both ways so you don’t have to rewind VHS tapes anymore?
Amazing.

I bet your video game controllers have more than 2 buttons. That blows my mind.

By the way, you have a website? INSANE. You’re so much cooler than me...

The only reason I can email you is cause I had a friend who had a friend who’s brother had a IBM computer with lightening fast dial up.

Crazy how some things have changed between us huh?

I consistently preach to my bedroom furniture. I’d do anything for an audience of 5.

You consistently preach to 70-90 people. You’d do anything for an audience of hundreds.

I’m shut in my bedroom most of the day seeking the face of God cause I dare not face the day without his grace. I’m convinced I won’t make. I know I can’t make it...
So I pray R rated prayers. I pray my honest guts out.

You on the other hand are way more confident than I am. You’re not desperate. You’re convinced you will make it. You think you can make it...
So you pray courtesy prayers so God likes you more. You pray so God doesn’t rain on your show.

I’d do anything to be you but you’d do anything to be that other guy.

Kind of funny huh? Guess the grass is always greener.
That or you’re starting to drift. But who am I to judge... myself!

You know, I used to think I was a dreamer but look at you. Wow.

I honestly could never have thought of anything this much in Gods story.

A wife. Daughter. Dream job. 2 dogs. Mocha club? A house? Wow.

You must be the most thankful guy in the world.
You are right?
Please tell me you are.

Please tell me we are not like those Israelites in the bible who forgot the miracles of God. I know you’re cool and fancy now. And I know God will take you places but please be thankful.

Please be content and please, please don’t forget me.
Don’t forget you.

Don’t forget lowly, grass-cutting, basement-scraping, bedroom-preaching, closet-worshiping, desperate you that no one knows.

I represent character, integrity and the heart of what you do.

Don’t.
forget.
me.

Sincerely,
You.

Will you please be honest with yourself today? How's your long distance relationship with yourself working? Its a little strange but I promise you this is a worthwhile exercise.
If you met you from when God was most real to you, what would you tell you today?

Or what would the you today want to tell your future self so you never forget?
