Dear Minnesota Caffeine Queen,

Tomorrow you will drop off your Mom at the airport and say your final goodbye. Isaiah 40:31, "But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."

Remember that this isn't a time to be sad. No matter how far away you are, you are only a phone call away. You aren't alone in this. Deuteronomy 31:6, "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid of terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."

The first night that you get sick will be the worst, (hopefully it isn't the first night). Just remember that when you get sick, you always feel better after. It isn't the most ideal situation, but God has his hand on you the whole time telling you that he is right there with you. Psalm 147:3, "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds."

All those nights you can't sleep, will catch up with you. Just remember that you will be working and living with the most accepting people you know. They are there for support and will understand your circumstances. They are there to help you, not put you down.

I can't wait to see how much you grow over this Summer. You will experience new things with new people. Don't forget to open your Bible and pray continuously. You are not alone.

In Him,
Minnesota Caffeine Queen
