Dear Younger Me
Updated: Aug 25
Tomorrow's surgery will change me, reshape me, and humble me.
Knowing so many are accompanying me to the Throne of Grace and Mercy is comforting.
Throughout our lives, we do change, hopefully, to look more like Jesus. I trust my Holy Change Agent's hand.
Through your outpouring of love, my heart has been enlarged and filled to overflowing. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
The lyrics from "Dear Younger Me" by MercyMe speak loud and clear in this moment and perhaps they do for you, too.
Chris is available for updates while I sleep it off for a while and ponder these words and how great the Holy One is...
Dear younger me
Where do I start
If I could tell you everything that I have learned so far
Then you could be
One step ahead
Of all the painful memories still running thru my head
I wonder how much different things would be
Dear younger me
Dear younger me
I cannot decide
Do I give some speech about how to get the most out of your life
Or do I go deep
And try to change
The choices that you'll make cuz they're choices that made me
Even though I love this crazy life
Sometimes I wish it was a smoother ride
Dear younger me
Dear younger me
If I knew then what I know now
Condemnation would've had no power
My joy, my pain would've never been my worth
If I knew then what I know now
Would've not been hard to figure out
What I would've changed if I had heard
Dear younger me
It's not your fault
You were never meant to carry this beyond the cross
Dear younger me
You are holy
You are righteous
You are one of the redeemed
Set apart a brand new heart
You are free indeed
Every mountain every valley
Thru each heartache you will see
Every moment brings you closer
To who you were meant to be
Dear younger me
Dear younger me
You are holy
You are righteous
You are one of the redeemed
Set apart a brand new heart
You are free indeed❤️
-Susan (of the Wildflowers) Psalm 23
