"Use Me Lord"

I used to pray every night that I would someday be an influence on somebody else. This whole ordeal and my fervent pursuit of the word of God happened recently after when I was baptized at age twelve. Following my extensive studies of the bible, I realized my want to be a disciple and to pass on the love of God.
Then one day, I simply approached one of my friends, Keely, in a casual way and flat out asked her if she she believed in God because I figured after everything she had gone through in her life, all she really needed was someone like God. That moment was basically where it started. From then on, I tried to be a living example, doing my best to live for righteousness. At one point, I was slightly disappointed, because Keely said "I was so christian I scared her."
However, she did apologize later and said she didn't mean it. She just had never met anyone with such an ambition for God before, and I absolutely rejoiced, knowing that I had not failed Him.
To this very day, things are going pretty smoothly. I gained anew best friend and a new sister in Christ.
