I'm guessing you are reading this 20 years from now and it may seem strange that I wrote to you earlier but I am doing it for 3 reasons:
1. Just in case time travel is possible - it would be nice to get there and have mail. You know how much we love mail.
2. I have watched the Bourne movies (Bourne Supremacy and Bourne Ultimatum) - its about some guy who loses his memory. I guess it just made me want to make sure that I always remember what is important and NO!! you are not a fan of action movies - you are a romantic. Hopeless in fact.
3. Growing up, I realise that as we go, we keep changing. No one is the same as they used to be. It concerns me. I just don't want to wake up and I am someone I don't want to be. I want to be able to remember what really mattered so that even if I let it go, it has to be for really good reasons and I would be making a conscious change- knowing the gravity of it.
You love God and are passionate about your faith. You gave your life to Jesus as a child and even though it was in P.7- it really made a difference for you. Believing and walking with the Lord has changed you. You know that He is the reason for your being. You don't believe in Him just because of your parents. Their faith has inspired you but you have seen the Lord for yourself. Remember that time in your room when you called out to Him. Also those vices that He helped you fight. School stuff(Foods and Nutrition and Med school) that was hard and you didn't think you could go through but He showed up and you know it was Him who enabled you overcome.
You love your husband to bits and you know that he is the one for you. He is home for you. And Grace, he loves you- so much that it overwhelms him.
You value your family and have a special relationship with each one. Also you have many friends and are grateful to God that some have become really close- please stay in touch with them, you know you need each other.
You have many gifts and abilities- Do your best to continually seek opportunities to use them and to grow in them. By the way, you also want to be a radio presenter- good luck! And you have a passion for the underprivileged- I know that God will help you find a way to serve them. If it hasn't yet happened, just don't give up the passion because you know that He put it in you.
I guess there are many more things I could tell you but that's all that comes to mind now. I love you and I think you look beautiful with everything in the right places ;-) God is at work in you and if you remain in Him, even if everything that counts is taken from you- you will be alright.
Hugs :-)
This is Awesome :)
ReplyDeleteAsante Grace. Many hugs
ReplyDeleteIs this my sister!? Please tell your future self that you always thought that you were you brother's elder sister and that you constantly fought with him on whether to use 'elder' or 'older'! Remind her that you love bread so much and could eat it at any hour of the day! Also tell her that she still needs to learn to play the guitar just in case she isn't playing it yet!
