Dear Little Sister

Everyone is in a reflective mood now that our 4 years are done. I don't really know what to say, so I write this to my little sister. (Was going to post this to my Pray 4 ME blog... but not really about Jordan)


Dear Little sister,

I so often I had wished to be in your shoes.

I wish I had been told about what college would hold
What things expect and the things to know,
but then again, it made me pave my own way.

I know you wish I could have helped you more
I wish I spent more time having the time to explore,
But I hope the times I came to your side were the right ones and helped you through
      what there was for you endure.

I can't say what I've done will ever be enough, but it is what it is and that is what's done.

So these are things I wish I had known
These are things I wish I had been shown
So think on these as your time goes on
Because before you know it, these 3 years will be gone.

Little sister,

Time ticks on quicker than you know and when they say "time is relative" well they weren't kidding.

It drums on in the background so don't forget about the relationships worth building and each moment that you're giving.

That time is precious.


Don't give up on your dreams. Don't cry over the little things.

Don't settle because they might say "you will never succeed."

Little sister, you have the chance to do more than you ever dared to think or see.

Little sister, these 4 years go by so quick and if you let pain take hold there is so much you might miss.

Don't forget that I'm always for you. But I can't beat up the boys from 6200 miles away. ;)

Don't forget your family, cherish your friends, and life is more than relationships and boyfriends.


Little sister, I wish I was told that I had the potential to do it all, but the truth is

Do what God has planned for you.

Look for open doors He leads you through.

Listen for a call, His will and timing,

Because always remember that even on the darkest days, The Son is still shining.
