A Letter To My Little Brother

No matter how tall you get, you will always be my little brother.

A Letter To My Little Brother
Tracie Thomae

Hey Little Bro!

I just want to take the time to remind you of how much I love you. You are the greatest blessing in my life and I am so thankful that God gave me an awesome brother like you!

I admire your generous spirit and how you are always wanting and willing to go out of your way to help others. Your selflessness and humbleness is so inspiring. You have a servant’s heart and are so kind and loving towards everyone you encounter.

Remember 1 Corinthians 10:31,“Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God.” There will be times when people don’t show you gratitude for your kind actions; don’t let that dishearten you. Continue to do the right thing even when no one is watching and glorify God in everything you do.

I love how you are so hardworking. You study hard and you are diligent in your school work and everything else you set your mind to. I’m so proud of you and all that you have accomplished. I know you will continue to do great things.

Remember Philippians 4:13, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Never get discouraged or doubt your abilities. God has great plans for you and will use you to strengthen His kingdom.

I am thankful for you and your silliness; you know how make me smile and laugh through the good times and the bad. You are always there for me when I need someone to talk to. You are my very best friend.

Now that I’m in college, I really miss seeing you every day. I miss the little things like getting to talk to you in the car on the way home from school and our random Starbucks and Sonic runs we would go on. I miss you reminding me every single day that you’re taller than me. (but that’s okay because you never forget to remind me when I come home for a visit….and it seems like you're another inch taller each time!)

Please remember that I am always here for you. If you ever need help with anything; homework, girl advice (haha), or you just want to chat—I’m only a phone call and a Facetime away.

Joshua 1:9 says, "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” This is the advice I want to give you; be strong, be courageous, and be fearless. God is with you always; live your life for Him.

I am so proud of you. I can’t wait to watch you continue to grow up and become the man who God created you to be. Always remember, no matter how tall you get, you will always be my little brother. I love you with all of my heart!

Love,

Your Sister

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
