Dear Ash,
 
This isn’t the end. This is only the beginning.
 
Returning home is the start of a new journey for what God has planned for your life. You have what it takes.
You were created in His image and wired in a precise way that brings Him joy.
You have been given talents and gifts that God wants to use for His kingdom.
 
Stop doubting yourself.  Stop being afraid to pursue your dreams. God will open doors.
God will make connections. God will put you exactly where you need to be.
God will direct your steps and you don’t need to help him by stressing out about it. 
God doesn’t need your help.
 
He is only asking for your trust. You can trust the one who died for you.
You can trust Him to thwart each plan that should be stopped
and to complete each one that results in His greatest glory and your highest good.

 
Now go. Do the things that you always wanted to. Don’t think, just do.
More than anything, I want you to remember how God has provided everything you have ever needed and more through this journey.
He will give what you need and refine what needs refining.
 
Love, Ash– from the Future
(See what I did there, because I know that in the next couple of months you’re gonna need to look back on this).
