Friday’s Letters

Dear Readers, today’s letters might take on a more debbie-downer style. Sorry about that. Life’s just in a debbie-downer phase right now. I’ll try to throw in the positives! Dear Husband, thank you for smiling. Seriously. Your smile can completely change my mood & yesterday, that smile saved me from countless tears. Dear Car, you made me very sad. Why did you have to just go and break on me? It’s not right & not nice. You’re teaching me patience. Or is that the Lord? Dear Husband’s Car, I’d appreciate if you put some lifts on. I’m not used to ducking myself into a sedan & I have the welt (& headache) to prove it. Since I’ll probably be driving you rather frequently over the next week, please be nice to my forehead. Dear G-Bug, I’m crazy happy that you’re surgery went well. I’d be lost without your sweet smile & I’m in love with your new voice!

Dear ER Bill #2, where in the world did you come from? I was just bragging how affordable bill #1 was & then you show up. On the day my car, that I still owe mega money on, dies no less. Dear Husband, please remember your needle-nose pliers when you fish. Enough said. Dear Kristan, I LOVE LOVE LOVE the sneak-peak of our photo-shoot! You are amazing & incredibly talented. I couldn’t ask for a better friend that owns a photography business. And I’m uber excited to start working with you!

Dear Yellow Nail Polish, I thought you would be amazing, but you are runny & you’re chipping real fast. You keep this up & you won’t last long. Dear Weather, I love you. You have been hot & beautiful. Even the little bit of rain you dropped yesterday didn’t bother me. It’s summer & you are delivering. Dear God, You are teaching me endless lessons lately. As much as I try to avoid them. Thank you for your unfailing love. Dear SheReadsTruth, you are smacking me in the face. I fell behind on the last plan & in my grumpy state last night tried catching up. And the day I had to start on was, well let’s just say, there was a reason I was forced to read you. Truth overflowed from the verse. These hiccups in my life may seem giant & unchangeable, but I’m not in control of my life. And I don’t get to write the pages of my story. It’s already been written. I just have to seek Him to find my next step. Dear Kahlan. you are beautiful & amazing & innocent & precious & I’m already in love with you. I told your mama that your big sis has me wrapped around her finger & I’m pretty sure you already do too. Can’t wait to watch you grow into a GLOW girl!
