My For When Letters aren’t for others, but for yourself. This letter is for when you feel unsupported. It’s very important to talk nicely to yourself. You cannot take care of others if you don’t make your own mental health a priority. I went through a downward phase in my life where I needed help. Everyone around me always needed my help, but my battery was drained until I realized that I needed me. Nobody asked how I was doing. So, I found therapy in writing letters to myself. These letters are as transparent as they are needed to be. No matter what you’re feeling, rereading a letter is a reminder to have hope and keep fighting.
“If God is for us, who can stand against us?”
Romans 8:31
Dear sis,
When you are standing at the Red Sea, your friends, family, and neighbors will tell you that you cannot pass. But God says to march on!
Baby girl, your story has already been written, just waiting for you to accomplish it. All you have to do is take that leap of faith every day.
When your plan has already been written in stone by God himself, no one and nothing can stand against you.
No matter what doubts or obstacles come your way, you will make it at the right time. I know this because look how far you’ve already come! You may not be where you want to be, but thank God you’re not where you used to be.
It’s normal to feel unsure about whether to keep going or settle. Let these words remind you that you can never give up. You’ve already come this far, and there’s no satisfaction in turning back.
As you continue to climb towards your goals, the haters will start to emerge. True colors will start to glow. Your biggest supporters and non-supporters will slowly reveal themselves. This is a crucial part of your journey. It’s your time to see who’s coming with you to the top.
They say it’s a lonely journey to the top. Not everyone can be the moon in a sky full of stars. But the right stars support the moon in the sky. Find your stars and keep them close.
God says He has prepared a table for you in the presence of your enemies. So sis, get ready to eat.
Love,
Sophia
