Dear Yesterday,

You are my yesterday, not in tomorrow or the day after that. The difference is I am stronger. Yes, stronger than yesterday. I'm not willing to go down that mountain again..

I see down there toward the lillies and deceptively disguised wolves. They seem so close but so far away.. If God is the defender and the righteous judge, I guess there is no room for me to even investigate the difference. But tomorrow I'll look forward, to the dawn of this new day. Run ahead 'Therefore since we also have such a large cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us lay aside every weight and sin that so easily ensnares us, and run with endurance the race that lies before us, keeping our eyes on Jesus the source and perfecter of our faith...' Hebrews 12:1,2

No longer will this slow me down, no longer will it tangle me in confusion or heartache.

No more yesterdays. Only tomorrows.

Lord, give us the strength to climb this mountain and never look back.

With the shell of what used to be my love,

NYA

Dear K,

I know we never met, and I know my 'crew' and I were only there for 3.5 weeks, but I heard about you and my heart was broken.
I don't know what home is like for you, if it is good or bad, safe or a place of fear.
I don't if you are in primary or secondary school.
I don't know what year you are. 7?11? 14?
I don't even know your last name.
I don't know if you have hear every line in the book from men.
I don't know if you think you have gone 'too far' in life and cannot stop.
I do know that guys may pay attention to you in that mini skirt, or low cut dress but they'll never respect you.
I do know that throwing your self at a guy to get his attention is .not. the way to keep his attention.
I also know that as much as you want for that self inflicted pain to take away the pain you cannot control the pain inside.
I do know that as much as you want the past cannot be erased. 

I know it sounded silly and maybe stupid when we told you.
A free gift like that? No way right?
Someone that would forgive everything you've done wrong?
Someone that would love you?

I DO know that it is true
because I have been there, I know where you are.
I feel your pain because, all scars even though they heal, they also are reminders of the past.

The King does SO love you!
And I so wish you could see how He loves you.
I wish you could see how much you are worth.
That you are a princess.


You.are.loved.

By a King who is always there, who carries you when you can't stand on your own.
He gave His own Son to be a sacrifice of love for you.

¹⁷ The LORD your God is among you,
    a mighty warrior who saves.
    He will rejoice over you with singing.
    He will quiet you with His love.
    He will delight in you with shouts of joy."
Zephaniah 3:17
