Dear Future Me

For a while, ponderings of my future had been at the forefront of my mind. Simultaneously, I had to evaluate whether my thoughts and actions aligned with my intended goals. You see, there were so many things I wanted to accomplish- love, marriage, children and ministry. But I wondered how could those things be accomplished without changing my mindset. At times, I tended to over think the true intentions of others toward me. Which inadvertently manifested insecurities and doubts.

Those doubts birthed thoughts of rejection and unworthiness that cried out often, like a teething baby. For a few moments, I could rest assured that things would be alright, but when new growing pains were experienced- I was back to square one. Hoping and wishing, wishing and hoping. If I wanted things to be different, I had to transform my thoughts and actions. So, I ultimately wrote a note to my future…

Dear future me,

I hope that you learn to let go of your past hurts and not let them overshadow new opportunities. Your ability to know that you like hard and love harder will be well received by the person God has for you, so don't sell yourself short. You have a brilliant mind that is capable of brainstorming awesome ideas but you must remember to work diligently and not allow your thoughts to consume you. God's timing is perfect, not yours. He will never leave you nor forsake you. He knows the plans He has for you- to give you hope for a future and not to harm you. Continue to delight yourself in Him and He will surely give you the desires of your heart. Renew your mind daily. Lastly, always remember that you are smart, resilient, motivated, respectful, endearing, enlightening, encouraging, delightful, optimistic and YOU ARE ENOUGH!
