Dear Younger Me,
Life will lead you on paths you could never ever imagine. God has a sense of humor and a plan bigger then yours.
Those babies you love will grow up, but your arms will never be empty.
Some You will watch grow, get married, have babies of their own
some you will hold for only a moment, but believe me that moment matters
You'll never believe this! you will witness many babies take their first breaths, you will be the one to find tiny heartbeats, your hands will be the first to touch.
Don't take things so seriously, laugh, be silly,
Some days you will win, some you will lose
Be brave!
Be proud!
Those days you played teacher taught you how to be a leader. You will want to follow, but occasionally take a leadership role, it's good for you. I promise.
Never ever ever stop singing! You will lead worship, sing in a band, sing in the car...
You will play many roles, some for fun (high school musicals!), some out of necessity, you can do hard and beautiful things.
You will always be allergic to hay, don't let it stop you from being at the barn.
Always keep that sweet 4th grader inside you. She's smart and kind and strong.
Your adventure is just beginning.
Love,
Older you.
