A letter from April 10th, 2018

Dear FutureMe, Growth: Finding balance. These pasts two years, I have struggled to find balance, struggled to grow, and struggling with insecurity. Insecurity about my faith, insecurity about my life, insecurity about my health, insecurity about my looks, and insecurity about my personality. I am happy to say that God is helping me to grow my confidence. With this, I can already notice people are starting to treat me different. I even treat myself different! I care for myself more, I care about how I look, and I command respect from others. People can sense my confidence and already know how to address me, how to interact with me, and what is or is not permissible. I walk in security in the woman that I am and that I am becoming. I am learning to love and forgive, and I could not be more proud of who I am at the moment, although I do have a long way to go. Hope: I hope in the future to grow my relationship with God and to become the true embodiment of a virtuous woman. I hope to nurture my current and future relationships and I hope that my family is healthy, and that I am mentally, physically, and emotionally thriving. No more anxious thoughts or worries, just pure faith. I hope that I am secure and excited about where I will go for law school, and I hope that only greatness lies in my future. Words of Encouragement: Keep trusting God! Make time for Him no matter how busy you are. He is your rock, He is your foundation. Don't forget that! Jeremiah 29:11. Continue to be the light and remember that it is all God's glory. I know you've become a beautiful woman, and I'm so happy to meet you in the future.
