So let's start with a cliche... Time flies! It feels like just yesterday that we were building tents out of sheets and playing Sing Star until we were blue in the face and now you are officially 21. I suppose this is the point that you are supposed to start growing up and adulting full time. I, however, have a request.
Treasure your childlike wonder, never lose your thirst for adventure and never allow the light within you to fade. It is what makes you, you! oh, and how precious you are...
You were fearfully and wonderfully made by Father with the greatest love and care. He looks at you and sees your beauty, not only physically but your soul too. He sees your generosity and your unconditional love. He sees His beloved child.
You are now officially past the two-decade mark, which may seem like a really long time. But my wish and prayer for you is that these last twenty-one years were preparation for all that is yet to come. That you will fully be equipped to take all that life throws at you head on without a drop of fear but rather with heavenly courage and strength.
You will always have a home in your family, we love you and care for you unconditionally. You make our lives richer and fuller. Just as you are home to me, I will always be home for you.
I pray that you experience all that life has to offer in abundance, the good and the bad. So that you will continue to grow and become the person you were made to be. Be bold in your decisions and when in doubt, pray.
We have fought plenty but we have loved more, I am forever grateful to have you as my sister. So here is to another ten decades filled with the love and grace of our Abba Father.
Adventure awaits dear one, let's be wild.
With all the love within me,
Jx
