was doing some spring cleaning early this morning and i came across this gem of a letter i wrote to myself about 3 - 4 years back (i think?), during a church service where everyone was given pieces of paper to write letters to their future selves. really wished i'd written down the date! so i'd be able to see how much i've grown since then.
i don't remember the speaker at all - can't even remember what he looked like - but what he did was he got everyone's addresses, and then a couple months later, posted our letters back to all of us with a little note of encouragement at the bottom.
since then, i've never re-read that letter, but i'm so glad i discovered it again in this season because it's such a timely reminder to me of what i've always valued and held dear. and even though i may have detoured and been distracted along the way - the things i'm trying to pursue now are the things i have always been pursuing, and i shouldn't ever stop pursuing them.
Beautiful words indeed. :)
ReplyDeletethank you for the encouragement, jasmine. :) hopefully they're more than words - and actually a lifestyle.
ReplyDeleteOwh my.. Your letter is lovely.. but what hits home is the quote under the letter because one of my colleagues quoted this a few weeks back. It's really good to be reminded of those words again. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you.
