Debra Nitschke Kate Forrest

Crazy in love with Chris Forrest, former Navy SEAL
22 years

"Dear Younger Me - your twenties will be bumpy. People will disappoint you. Cling to the Truth given you and you will overcome it. Right now you have plans and ideas about your life, but God's plans are greater. He will surprise you and you will see miracles.

You will make some poor choices and suffer some hard consequences, but God will redeem those places in your heart and you will come out stronger because of them. In fact, God will use those hard things to allow you to help others.

You want a spouse, but you will have to wait 10 years. Hang in there. Someone is coming who will bring out the best in you and it will be worth the wait. He will love you like no other and you will change in ways you can't imagine. In fact, even your name will change.

Your tendency will be to please others but it will prove to be unfruitful, empty and exhausting. Seek to please God - the only One who satisfies - and you will never be empty again. You will instead experience inexpressible joy. You will rise up, above and beyond the things that weigh you down now.

One day you will stand before the throne and you will see it was worth it.

Sing in tune.
