I post this e-mail I received (new names inserted) to show everyone in ministry that we as people are tools God uses. I think many times, we are unaware of how God is using us. This story made me cry, inspired me to say yes to God, everyday and believe he is working through us:Dear Billie,Hi, I’m Becca Jones, that awkward girl that asked you for your email address before your last Lifeteen mass at St. Mary’s :). I’m sorry that it took me so long to write to you, and I’m also sorry that I was never brave enough to introduce myself when you were still in Eugene! I do hope that life in Arizona is suiting you well…I’m sure you’re busy, but I feel like I should tell you what an inspiration you have been to me. When I was in high school I used to drive up from Cottage Grove to Lifeteen mass with my older sister AFTER having gone to the required mass with my parents that morning. We went every week together with her three little girls so that we could listen to you sing. On the way home we would stop at Starbucks so we could talk about what an awesome singer you were, and the example you set for the community. Our favorite song that you did was “You Are My King.”After my sister, Nancy, and nieces died in the car accident in 2006, you were the ONLY reason that I continued going to mass. I spent the whole summer driving up from CG every Sunday night so I could hear you and feel at peace, if only for that hour. When you sang I could feel my sister next to me, her love and her council, and I learned to believe in God again.I still feel like you are my living connection to my sister, and that your gift is what has kept God in my life through all of the difficulties. I cried when I learned that you were moving, and you can’t even imagine what it meant to me when you sang “you are my king” at your last mass- I swear that someone hugged my soul…I want to thank you, so so much, for what you have done for me in the past few years, even unknowingly- and I want to thank you for your album. I was ECSTATIC when I learned about it, I got it just a few days ago and I love it! I play it super loud in the car so that my sister can hear it too :).Anyways, I just think that when someone is awesome, people should tell them that they are awesome…. I hope that everything is going well for you, and that maybe I’ll see you again someday, maybe on stage!Thank you for your inspiration and your time,Becca Jones
