An Open Letter To A Sinner
LifeLike Creations

Dear Sinner,

I know how you feel. I know what it's like to feel like you aren't enough—like you're doing something wrong. I know what it's like to feel like everyone is judging you. I know what it's like to be scared to put your hands up in worship in fear of judgment of others. I know.

I have good news for you, Sinner. You are not alone. You are one of billions of Christians on this earth, and they all sin too.

Did you know that God, in His holy plan, decided to send His Son to earth for you? His ONE AND ONLY Son. He sent Him to this cruel, hateful, mean world so that He would die.

I know what you're thinking—"I've heard all of this before."—But I want you to think about this all. God created with His hands—the very hands He made YOU with—and He sculpted His Son. Not only this, but He sent that Son to die. But this death was not meaningless. This is the most important death in history!

THIS DEATH SETS YOU FREE!

That's right, Sinner! Because our gracious God sent His Son to earth, you and I are free. Those burdens you carry around, those shackles around your feet? Leave them at the foot of the cross. God is waiting for you to surrender!

God is for us. He wants us to be free which is WHY He sent His Son! In sending this man named Jesus to the earth, we are able to have a relationship with God—even as sinners.

You are enough. You are loved. You are wonderfully made. You're made new.

God wants you.

So, Sinner, hopefully, that cruel, hateful, mean world becomes a little more beautiful to you. The world around us was sculpted and created by the same amazing God that forgives even the sins that seem to be unforgivable. The world around us was meant to be beautiful, and God is pleased when we see it this way.

I'm praying for you, and please pray for me.

Blessings,

A Fellow Sinner

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.

I am going to a rhyme without reason date function and I have looked at so many different rhyming words and I figured there need to be a new list of words.
