Dear Mary,
I thought I'd write this letter to remind you of some important things. If these days seem tough, remember one day you'll be thinking that the past made you who you a are. Every single thing happens for a reason, and from every mistake or bad experience, a lesson is learned. But for now, here are some pointers to help you get through. First of all, never go a day without thanking God for everything you have. Even if you don't have a car, or a credit card, you have an amazing family, amazing friends, a nice house, a great education, and everything you need. Don't just ask God for things you want, but having a good relationship with God will get you through anything that comes your way. Don't ever forget that God has a plan, and even if it seems like what you want is what should happen, it isn't. And one day, you will be glad that God did it his way, and not yours. Also, don't waste time arguing with mom and dad. Even if it doesn't seem like it at the time, they are usually always right. I know you must be thinking there is no way they are right about not getting you a car when you are 16, but trust me, when you graduate from high school and get a brand new car, it is pretty sweet, so be patient. Don't waste time gossiping or getting involved in any drama, and if drama comes your way, don't let it bother you. Drama is unnecessary, but if you have to deal with it, be mature and sophisticated, and remember that it will teach you valuable lessons. And don't forget to study hard, you aren't going to make it to a good college without hard work. Plus, those good studying habits will carry you through the rest of your life. And when you get to senior high school, don't fall into the drugs and alcohol trap, even if your friends do it. I'm not worried about you because I know you never will get into all that, but just let them go and don't be too upset about it because you are doing the right thing. I know this seems like a lot to take in at once, and you probably just want to go on with your life the way you want to. So here are the main things you need to remember:
- Everything happens for a reason. "To everything there is a season, a time and purpose under heaven."
- Let God guide you, and trust in Him with all your heart.
- Love and trust your family - they are the best :)
- Nothing is impossible through Christ
- No matter how bad something seems, you will get through and the sun will shine.
Love,
Me :)
