Sometimes the weary soul is lost...and the road seems barren and we seem so far from that oasis we are seeking....simply Hope.
When tension is high and patience has run dry and you want to sigh because everything hangs in the balance....simply have Faith.
And when you want to scream at the IMPERFECTIONS of imperfect people and growl at the insincerity of the human heart...simply Love.
If all these things...in our lowly human state fails....continue to look toward the Cross....for there Hope, Faith and Love hang, ready to embrace you and ease your burden. Simply PRAY :-)

Letter to Myself
Dear Samantha,
Just in case you didn't know and in the rare moment that you forget, I just wanted to let you know that:
YOU ARE MORE THAN YOU THINK YOU ARE! You are smart, brave, kind, compassionate and a soul who relentlessly fights to get out of the darkness and into the light. So keep fighting, keep trying, keep pushing even when the darkness and doubts begin to creep in. Be encouraged, be blessed and have faith.
YOU ARE RESILIENT! You are a fighter, you are creative and brilliant. Embrace these qualities. Don't give in to the temptation to be weak when the going gets tough. God's strength will sustain you.
WHEN THINGS GO WRONG, ACKNOWLEDGE THEM AND MOVE ON! You are not the sum of some bad tests or life's disappointments. Life is a journey and not a destination. Enjoy your life don't beat yourself up. If you need to cry, do so, but please leave the past behind. Live in the present stop living in the future too leave those what-ifs alone. I promise you that better days will come, I just can't tell you when.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE; YOU ARE NOT INVISIBLE. YOU ARE EXTRAORDINARY in a world where ordinary is what counts. Sometimes, that overwhelms you because of the standards and principles you apply to your life. There may be folk who don't understand you, but I just want you to know that that is ok. So what if others don't care about the same things, or show respect like you do? Just pray for patience, love and peace of mind to deal with whatever comes your way. Even when someone hurts you, remember that it may not be intentional and even if it was, please know that TIME HEALS WHAT REASON CANNOT.
I've noticed that you've been having a hard time lately, and those rare moments aren't so rare anymore . You doubt yourself, you're hurting and you're sad. Please do me a favor:
REMEMBER YOUR JOY! I remember you saying some time ago that even if you're not smiling and maybe feeling sad, that your soul is ok because you have JOY. Please, remember that!
This is quite a long letter, not overly deep and it may be a little cliche and superficial. But I wrote it so that you'll read it and smile and BELIEVE THAT YOU WILL BE ALRIGHT, YOU WILL OVERCOME AND YOU WILL SMILE AGAIN.
I love you dearly and hope to see you soon, with a smile :)
Always,
