When I was twenty

I wish I could go back and talk to myself when I was twenty. I’d say to myself “listen, don’t worry about the things you’ve been worrying about. Everything is going to work out great.” And I’d likely clarify with myself that “In the future I get everything I need?” And I’d say back to myself “No, you just realize you didn’t need it. And that’s even better.”  Donald Miller,

I’d say a few things:

Don’t perm your hair!!!

You are NOT an old maid!

Go do those things you’ve dreamed of doing. Make it happen, because no one else will.

Don’t be so practical!

Be not afraid.

God loves you just the way you are.

 

So, what would you say if you could go back and talk to your twenty year old self?

    Firstly and most importantly I would say..

    You matter

    You are strong enough to be on your own

    Seek God

    Just try 1 adventure...and see how it goes
