An open letter to my sister and niece

Dear sister and niece, You are so beautiful, both of y'all, and you don't realize it! You are so precious to Him and he cherishes you! That is right!! When this world has used you like dirty rags and throws you to the wayside, He picks you up in to His everlasting arms and makes you white as snow and heals you. The point to that is you have to call His name!! It can be just a faint whisper that contains the last of your breath but guess what HE WILL HEAR YOU!! He is a gentleman and will never take over your life unless you invite Him to! He wants you to see the beauty in the dark times, to know that through any trial He is there for you, holding you, guiding you, and interceding for you! Jesus is sitting at the feet of the throne of God and HE IS PRAYING FOR YOU!! So when you do not know what to say, He is saying it for you!!! There is a song that says "when you are going through hell keep on going!!" Don't stop and pay attention to satan, he wishes to destroy you and he wants to do it in a way that causes you to suffer for a life time!! Don't feed the demons!! Take all the nasty things that are said to you by others and write them down on paper and destroy that paper so you can PHYSICALLY see the nastiness just burn away!! Don't carry your burdens because they will weigh you down!!! Hand them over to Jesus and He will give you rest and restore you! In this world you cannot do it on your own! It is only through Christ and a personal relationship with Him that will get you through the minute by minute; hour by hour; day by day!! Take it all slowly, there is no rush! Take each bite and meditate on Gods word, hide it in your heart so that when these trials hit you, you will be prepared to fight satan and all the trash he throws your way! I am praying for you both daily! You are constantly on my thoughts! I wish I could just reach up to Colorado and grab y'all and bring you here! But I know for now that my prayers are what is needed! My heart aches for you and I pray that you can feel the Holy Spirit wrapping His arms around you and holding you! This will all be used for God's glory and I know you cannot see the big picture now but God can!! Give Him the little piece of the puzzle that you are holding, the little part that is only a moment in your entire life, so that God can make it into the masterpiece that will be your complete life! I love you so very much and know that I am here for you! Pray Pray Pray!! Place it in God's hands and if you have to keep giving it back to God, keep giving it back! You cannot but with God ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!! Just surrender ALL of you to Him! Love your big Sister and Aunt Shauna Psalm 121: 1-8 1 I lift up my eyes to the mountains— where does my help come from? 2 My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. 3 He will not let your foot slip— he who watches over you will not slumber; 4 indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. 5 The Lord watches over you— the Lord is your shade at your right hand; 6 the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. 7 The Lord will keep you from all harm— he will watch over your life; 8 the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.
