Be you! Enjoy those wildflowers. Enjoy the wind blowing through your hair as you ride your bicycle through town. Don’t be intimidated by anybody. You have a wonderful, exciting life ahead of you. Don’t let anybody make you question yourself. You make very wise and careful decisions. Your dreams are worth stepping into. You are beautiful! You are sexy! You are smart!
On one special night in October of 1979 your future husband will ask you to spend your life with him as his wife. I know you’ve only known him for 3 months. I also know you will question making such a huge decision. Say ‘YES” with assurance that your future will be awesome with him in it. I wouldn’t change a thing so enjoy the journey.
During the journey, don’t stop attending college! I know you will be tempted to stop, but don’t do it! What your future spouse didn’t tell you is that he is only a semester worth of credits away from his Bachelor’s degree…encourage him to finish! If he doesn’t do it now, he won’t do it. Fine art will be his friend in the future as well as architecture design…encourage him to pursue those two studies.
And school for you? I know you are torn between wanting to be a teacher, pleasing your mom by taking accounting, and studying computer programming for your dad. That’s ok, all those subjects will be beneficial for your future! I want to encourage you to pursue a degree in Psychology and Creative Writing! You can do it! And you’ll enjoy it!
A great choice would be for both of you to find a college to attend together and live on campus. After you are married you can live in family housing. Trust me, it will be worth it!
The most important key in absolutely everything you do is to put God first! Focus on God for all your decisions! Life will be full of challenges, but the blessings will far outweigh the challenges. In fact, the challenges will make the blessings even more meaningful!
Start writing a journal. Eat healthy and stay active. Riding bikes, hiking, bowling are all things you will still enjoy years from now. Your sweetie may not enjoy these but start a routine now! He thrives on routines!
I will add, invest in gold and property now!! Start off small but keep it consistent and increase with every penny you can. Be you and focus on God! Be alert to key words like, blogging a influencers. Your education, experience and history will allow you to encourage others through your blogging. Being an influencer can be used to teach, direct, encourage, and console other young girls and women. Technology will change more than you can even imagine. In fact life as you know it will be so different. Remember to love others no matter who they are or where they’ve been. Let God do the judging, you do the loving.
People will try to discourage you. The ones who are the closest are the hardest to pull away from. In fact everything I’m telling you will be an uphill battle if you listen to people. But remember, you got this! God will be using you! Everything will be ok, you are so blessed! Enjoy the journey!
