Dear Self,

It's been a really long week, and I understand that you can get frustrated.
I know that you have had a lot of work to do, and that things don't always go the way you planned. But you know what? That is O.K.!
You need to take a deep breath and calm down.
Trust in the promises of the steadfast love of your Savior.
Breathe in the smell of fall.
Enjoy the encouragement of friends.
Believe in who you know you are.
Do your best, and then be satisfied with the work you have done.
Sing for joy, and praise the Lord!
Why? Because you have so much to praise him for!
You have friends and family that love you.
You go to a school where you were made to be.
You have a room mate who is more like a sister.
You have a brain! And you are enabled to use it for his Glory.
You are a princess of the King.
You are an ambassador.
A carrier of the signature ring.

Be strong.
Take Heart.
Rest in the Lord.
Trust in the promises.

Be encouraged,
A Daughter of the King
