Dear Young Lady,
I am so excited that you found me here in Love Letters. This is a safe place where you can come learn and hopefully be encouraged as you grow through probably one of the most challenging times of your life.
Growing up is full of new experiences that can be life-changing and sometimes scary, but don’t worry too much. I am going to be here to answer questions and show you through my personal experiences what I have learned and how everything will be ok. You are not the only one who is going through what you are feeling or thinking. It may surprise you to know that many women before you and many more after you have or will all go through it just like you. The key is to seek help and ask questions from the right places and people.
I know every girl is wondering and imagining about their future, probably with vivid pictures and dreams. In these letters, we will address some of the “big questions”, like how or when will you find the perfect boyfriend, how to know where you are supposed to live or go to college, and so many more. But we are also going to learn, at the same time, what God says about our future relationships and purposes.
There will be times that you will not like what I have to say or what God desires for your life, but… All I ask is that you wait a day or two before reacting. Pray about it and maybe talk to someone you trust who is a sound spiritual leader. I am not going to pretend that I have all the answers because I don’t. All I can do is show you how, with God’s help, I got through a time in my life that could have been the most discouraging and confusing.
To start off these letters, I am going to give you 10 points that we will discuss and hopefully learn to become a godly woman. These points are the key to finding success in every area of our young Christian lives.
1. She recklessly abandons herself to the Lordship of Christ
2. Diligently uses her single days
3. Trust God with unwavering faith
4. Demonstrates virtue in daily life
5. Loves God with undistracted devotion
6. Stands for physical and emotional purity
7. Lives in security
8. Responds to life with contentment
9. Makes choices based on her convictions
10. Waits patiently for God to meet her needs
Don’t try to understand right away what each of these means. They may sound straightforward, but we are going to really dig in and find out some amazing truths that will forever guide your life if you let them.
Again I am so excited that you chose to join me on this new adventure.
Signing off,
Tami
