Dear present self,

Take advantage of this season; invest in yourself and God.

Allow Him to love you the way He desires to and dwell in His love even when it's uncomfortable.

Ask questions. Continue to ask until the answers are accompanied with understanding.

There's nothing wrong with desiring a relationship!

At the same time, there's nothing enjoying your singleness!

One doesn't have to cancel the other; rather one can prepare you for the other.

Continue to be vocal about all you desire in a partner and trust that the God who hears all things will grant your desires.

Refuse to compromise your standards.

Work on being physically, mentally, and spiritually healthy.

If you knew then (present-day), what you know now (future day), you’ll;

Love yourself, Be kind and gracious to yourself.

Only dwell on your mistakes long enough to learn from them.

Stop producing from a place of emptiness.

Rather, produce from a place of overflow.

Use every opportunity to be an encourager.

Put more weight on His opinions of you than on the opinion of others.

Guard your peace and heart fiercely.

Remember that joy is not found in the absence of turmoil but can be present in spite of it.

Finally, smile darling.

Happy Valentine’s day,

Until next time,
