Change what you can and work towards inner peace.

You will waste a lot of time hat...Dear Stephanie: <br /><br />You will waste a lot of time hating your body. Don't. It will bring you a beautiful baby girl someday. Slightly worse for the wear, but better and more powerful than you will ever know. <br /><br />You will waste a lot of time assuming you can change your friends and your man. You can't. Keep those who cherish you for who you are, who will support you in those difficult times ahead. Send the others off with love, no regrets, no grudges. <br /><br />You will know disappointment. You will know heartache. You will know sorrow you never knew possible. <br /><br />You will also realize dreams you never thought you would. You will experience true love, transformative love in your husband and your baby girl. You will know happiness you never knew possible. <br /><br />Keep your chin up, don't let them get you down.Stephanie in Suburbiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10141782319969160150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8922778133376827548.post-25035294447068348942011-01-06T15:50:57.265-05:002011-01-06T15:50:57.265-05:00Thanks Sommer for stopping by.

Loved this.
I would tell my younge...Very powerful. Loved this.<br /><br />I would tell my younger self that life isn't always about fun. This is the time to work hard and not be afraid of hard work as it will pay off in the end.

Oh yes, if I could have gone...What a great letter. Oh yes, if I could have gone back to give words of wisdom to my younger self...it would have been to tell me to dump the guy who cheated on me and know that there are so many more fish in the sea. (Oh, I did eventually dump the guy--but it took me three years to do it.)Annettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10751729674145716517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8922778133376827548.post-62712743094734282302011-01-06T03:20:03.681-05:002011-01-06T03:20:03.681-05:00Thanks Sara and Miss Pancakes, your words are very...Thanks Sara and Miss Pancakes, your words are very powerful.

People are going to say dumb thin...Letter to Sara,<br /><br />People are going to say dumb things. People are going to ask you dumb questions. People are going to make you think that your beliefs are wrong. People will be just mean. <br /><br />When you hear "You can't just be a Christian. You have to be something else, no one can be just a Christian. You have to be Catholic, or Lutheran or something like that." Those are people who just don't understand. You can be a Christian. Please don't turn away from your beliefs because some other children your age don't understand either. <br /><br />Just so you know, you can be just a Christian. It is okay to think that religion is man made, because it is - and you don't have to like the rules that religion puts on people. You will find a church you will call home. <br /><br />Furthermore, you will grow up to be a strong Christian woman. You will raise strong Christian children. They will never think God does not exist some other children didn't understand. <br /><br />Your 30something self.Sara Hickman designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02932439554332340805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8922778133376827548.post-42812252724954244392011-01-05T19:51:55.125-05:002011-01-05T19:51:55.125-05:00That letter was very powerful! Short confessional ...That letter was very powerful! Short confessional letter to my younger self:<br /><br />Dear Young Self: <br /><br />Always know that love is much bigger than your first, second and or third love will ever show you. Love begins with you loving yourself first and foremost! Loving yourself inside and out. Furthermore, always know that God has your back so never give up your morals and values and be strong no matter how cute that first, second and or third love is! Know that God has something bigger planned for your life, especially your love life, which you spend endless days and nights pouring over in your diary! Love will happen in the most unexpected ways. But remember first to love yourself! And keep laughing because that is truly God's best medicine! <br /><br />Cheers from your 30something Self!Mrs. Pancakeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03441934318368344653noreply@blogger.com
