A letter from April 11th, 2020

Dear FutureMe, I wonder how you are doing right now. I hope you are doing well When you read this you will be 24 years old. As of right now when you are reading this, you are home pretty much most of the time due to the coronavirus. You will be turning 19 next Sunday. Your brother will be 21 in about a week and a half. You are almost done with your first year of college and currently work at a daycare/preschool. As of right now, you are not working due to the coronavirus. Even though you have been home for about a month now you have grown in your relationship with God even more and are about to start bible journaling. You started watching glee with mom and it is so good. At least you like the show. You have grown closer to the ones you love. You have also learned and grown so much within this time. I wonder if you have started your career or are close to starting it. I wonder who you are still friends with and are not. I wonder if you are married or will be getting married soon. I wonder how many kids you plan to have or if you have any at the moment. I want to say how proud I am of you. You are capable of so much and have come so far within these last 24 years of life. Dang! You will be 25 in a year. Wow! I hope and pray you truly and really love yourself and know your identity is in God and what Jesus did for you on the cross. They love you more than you could ever know. Continue to learn. Life is so short as everyone tells you. Enjoy the present moment and make memories. Stay positive and have faith. You have gotten this far and I know God is going to take you the rest of the way. You are loved and valued. Life is such a blessing and I hope you do not take a moment for granted. So much has changed within the past first year of college and it is crazy how you will change by 24. I hope you have saved enough to travel to a place you would love to go to and that you have never been to before. The elevation concert is next month and I hope I am able to go. I am trusting in God. I pray you have found a man who loves Jesus and God so so much more than you. I pray he leads you and takes care of you. I pray he would be someone you truly want to spend the rest of your life with where you guys can have Jesus at the center and do life together. I will continue to write more of these letters may be like every week. I think I might, but I will see. I have so much time on my hands. I have started reading, playing my ukulele, playing club penguin, and making tik toks a whole lot more. I could make a whole list. Love, your past self
