A Letter In The Mail

Today I got a letter in the mail. I was not expecting it, but had wandered when it would come. You see this past summer I went with my beautiful church family on a youth retreat. This letter was from my past self to my future self. A very sweet Canadian woman had me write a letter of encouragement and reminders about what I had commited myself too. The letter came at just the right time. I had forgotten about who I had begun to fall very in love with and it is not just some boy. I reminded myself about what I needed to focus on. This is part of the letter that I wrote to myself -

"... Remember all the people who love you, your family in Christ and your family at home. Also don't forget you should be loving yourself, just like God our FATHER loves you. Do not lose hope in yourself, just keep going. Remember how in love you are with him. Strive to please him and only him. He is just so deeply in love with you, you cant even understand it. Do not forget to talk and LISTEN to him. He enjoys hearing from you. Also remember what you told yourself, push yourself to keep going, one day you will get to where you are walking. You might get lost sometimes, but think of the bible as a GPS it will show you where to go and how to get there. Don't give up. ( PS. God is there for you always.)"

I know that letter was to me. But I hope this letter helps you also, what ever you might be dealing with.

Well once again I am very sleepy, and have to get up very early school again... Goodnight love all of you! Sweet dreams. I will post again tomorrow.
