Letter to Me

http://www.miscmum.com/2007/01/dear-me-project.html

Found this challenge and couldn't resist!

Dear Me (1993),

First things first, Girl, your life is fabulous (one day everyone will overuse this word). There are a few things that I should tell you, because I KNOW that you certainly are not listening to anyone else right now.

1. Your mom is the smartest person in the world and she knows you better than anyone else. Even when you don't agree with her, respect her. One day you will understand the depth of her love.

2. This one will shock you....one day woman will wear their hair straight and sleek! Crazy, I know.

3. Floss your teeth! You will still hate the dentist when you are older and YOU will be paying the bill.

4. Love doesn't "happen" to you. It is a decision, so get your head out of the clouds. There is no prince on a white horse. There will be a time that you will love deeper than you can understand right now. You will soon have a husband and children that you love more than life itself and there is not a fairy tale that is even close to being this good.

5. Do you really want a tatoo? It sort of screams I WAS A REBELIOUS TEENAGER!

6. I know that you think that happiness is Childress in the rear view mirror, but one day you will long for the simpler life.

7. It feels like the friends in your life will be there forever, but there will come a time when you barely know where anyone is. Nuture those relationships.

8. Loss is a part of life. Tell your great grandmother how much you love her and memorize her face.

9. Those adults that you look up to will still be awesome when you are all grown up so find out more about them.

10. God never changes. You will, and when he feels far away you need to draw closer because nothing good happens when you are far from him.

You are going to love your life and God has great plans for you. Trust him and enjoy every day as a gift.

What I believe

God is perfect, man is not. There is no perfection in churches, religions, preachers, elders, grandparents, scholars, authors, friends, leaders, missionaries, Christian schools, church founders, parents, disciples of Jesus, or anyone else that is not Jesus Christ. So in all of my recent obsessive searching for answers I have only come to this conclusion. I believe in God, I believe that he sent his son Jesus to live on this earth, die and be resurrected. I believe that I am saved by grace through faith and expected to live a life that honors God, while remembering that I am not perfect and I will let down myself, others, and my savior. I believe that since the death of Jesus there have been many great people that have lived their lives in the best way that they knew how in order to honor and worship him. I do not believe that their lives are to be a pattern for mine. The only life that is worthy of duplicating is that of Jesus. With that conviction, I do not believe that there is a perfect place to worship in past or present. I do not believe that there is a perfect eldership to worship under. I do not believe that there is a perfect minister in which to hear the word. I do not believe that there is a perfect music service in any church anywhere. I DO believe that God is honored with my conviction to seek him, worship him, and take him to others every chance that I get.
