Dear small girls,
This is it. You made it. You're here and this is the end of your chapter at 180. The pages you've written here are full of love and laughter and joy that is straight from Jesus. And, now? Well, you're off on a new adventure, and with you, you'll take the love of this place, these people, and a God who could not be prouder of you.
You are some of God's Best work. Fearfully and wonderfully made, you are ready for whatever this new endeavor has for you. Please know that you occupy a large area of my heart. My world would spin on a much different axis without you in it. You are funny, passionate, talented, dramatic and authentic in the best ways. It has been an amazingly fun ride to have traveled with you this year. I have watched and advised as you've struggled to balance school and family and friends while doing it in a way that honors Jesus. It's no easy task, but you've handled it beautifully. There have been tears, and swears and sessions of venting, and you're no worse for the wear. In fact, it's made you stronger and more beautiful.
So, as you begin to write your new chapters, here what i know for sure:
1. You are more than enough. You are complete. You are worthy of love.
2. Your value is immense
3. Your talents are many
4. You have a God who's will make beautiful things out of broken pieces
5. You should follow your heart. Try hard. Don't be afraid because with me and Jesus for you, who could ever be against you? Like actually, though?
6. You are prayed for on the daily
7. You will continue to make this world a better place.
8. I love you more than i could ever express.
Your future is unwritten, go do awesome things, love people well, and know that everything will work out exactly how it's supposed to, and when things are confusing and hard make sure you have The Bible and my phone number handy.
with love and pride,
Me.
