Dear Megan,

Remember to figure out why you cry at the drop of a hat now-a-days. Think of things that you can resort to when you're feeling sad for no particular reason. Make something pretty. Write something encouraging to someone (warning: this might make you cry harder). Remember that God didn't need to give you grace but he chose to and that's what you really need to understand. It's good to recognize that you aren't worthy of it...but, just know that he thinks you are or he wouldn't have purchased your freedom through his son dying on the cross. When you're sad, just think: This is only temporary. Instead of dwelling on the fact that you don't deserve his grace, go share this news with someone who doesn't already know about it. It's a much better use of your time.

Also, remember that you hate shoveling. Apartment life is going to be great. That's something exciting to look forward to.

Also, you hate winter...don't lie. You have always said that you love winter. Well, just recognize that, that has changed this year.

Do spontaneous things because you like the feeling. Don't worry about having your life planned out, because those plans will probably change.

You really love people so don't be afraid to ask them to hang out...because they probably want to hang out too. Don't be insecure...your insecurities come from nothing but lies.

Call your mom. Tell her you love her. Ask her to spend time with you. Have deep conversations with her.

You like candles. Something inside of you is happier when there are candles around. Especially red ones. Tell Michelle "thank you" for that. Pictures make you happy too. When you get money print some off and decorate your room with them. Pay your bills first though.

You're a good person. You're fun. You like you. So does God. So do people. Allow yourself to make mistakes and forgive yourself for them. You're not supposed to judge. Even yourself. Let God judge you.

Yourself in Christ,
Megan
