May I reason something out with you?
What do you do when you place all of your eggs into the one hypothetical basket? When you have become so arrogant to think that, from here, nothing can go wrong.

i think everyone can be proud, judgmental, stubborn, sarcastic, etc. but to explain someone's "weaknesses" in such detail is fair more judgmental than what you're being accused of. seriously.
personally, all i see in you is your good side. i know you have relied on your church family quite heavily, but i also think they are too quick to judge...like, they think they know you, but i think really all they see is one side of you. you are more dimensional than sarah-who-went/goes-to-the-congregational-church-in-sleepy-st.-johns-michigan. don't let what they say in the letter stop you. you are far more worldy and open minded than they will ever be.

Perhaps they still think of you as what you once were, were your "weaknesses" (which i dont completely believe in that word) dominated you, and your strengths only shone through every now and then.
Whoever wrote such a "recommendation letter" (which, why would you agree to write something that you knew you were going to be unsupportive of?) has failed to open their eyes and be supportive of changes that have overcome you.

And I know you will, because like the many people who wrote you the strong and supportive letters of recommendation that you deserved, you believe in yourself.
Love you, ma'am. Missing you and hoping your year of service ends on the positive note that you've worked so hard for.
