Dear Future Me,

I would like to start off by saying that I hope you are a better person than I could have ever imagined. I hope you understand the expectations I have for you. You are the most important person in the world to me.

I hope that you have a heart big enough to hold the weight of life's obstacles. I hope you have the strength to live selflessly. Most of all, I hope you have grown so vastly in your walk with God and that you surpass everything and anything I could have ever hoped in accomplishing through His name.

The thing is future me, it's okay to not have everything figured out. Well, I know I most definitely don't have anything in my life under control. To be honest, lately, I've been feeling lost in my purpose. I thought I was headed in one direction, the right direction, with my degree and plans for my future dream job, but now? I am unsure about it all.

I feel like God is calling me to something. What's the right word? Bigger? Greater? Different? I don't know but I can't shake the feeling that the path I am currently on is not the calling God has for my life. Actually, it's more like he gently guided me off one path and now I feel like I am just standing in the brush on the side of the road.

I trust that He has put me on my destined path, I just cannot see it yet. But, future me, I'm hoping that while you are reading this letter you can see the path.I hope that you can not only see the path, but that you have the courage to follow it, embrace it, and seize it for all that it is worth.

Mostly I hope that you are currently giving everything you have in bettering yourself.

Let this letter be an outline for being one of the best testimonies you have to offer the world. And that you crave the courage and will to share it.

Love always,

Your Past Self

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
