In the coming year you will feel many emotions but I pray one of those is a feeling of empowerment. I want you to know that being sad and scared is normal. It is expected. But also know that with fear comes bravery. With sadness comes the chance to overcome.
At your age you have experienced things even some adults haven't had to endure. You have been brave your whole life.
I teach you to carry on one step at a time. Always one step at a time. When there is a moment where you feel like you can't see the end, you keep walking. Sometimes we stumble, we feel defeated and we want to wave the white flag. Take the day to embrace those moments, don't feel the need to bury them down. Live in that moment and then take one more step, no matter how little it seems. Take those moments and thrive.
For those days you feel like you can't do it anymore, I will pick you up and carry you. It is because of you that I am strong. You keep my head high and my feet moving.
There will be tears, there will be smiles. I will do everything in my power to ensure there are always more smiles. Without the bad we couldn't appreciate all the good we have. And, boy, do we have good.
You are fearless. You are brave. You are strong. I am beyond proud of you.
"10That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong." 2 Corinthians 12:10
