Emmi has a lot going on in her life right now and lots of decisions that she will be making in the next little while. As she talked to her mom she said she was stressing out and that she had been on her knees a lot lately praying for answers about her future with the navy. I in turn became concerned about her. I remember so many times when I was growing up that my mother, sensing that I was struggling , would write me her thoughts. Those letters became very precious to me and I have them still. I wrote this letter - an email- to Emmi hoping that it would give assurance like my mother's letters to me.
Dear Emmi,
I know you are struggling right now and waiting to get answers from our Father in Heaven as to what direction you are supposed to go. I am grateful for standards and commandments that keep us healthy, happy and safe. Grateful that you are living those commandments and standards. Your answers will come.
"Heavenly Father has given you talents and spiritual gifts. He wants you to use these gifts and talents to be happy and bless others. You once lived with Heavenly Father, who knows everything and loves everyone. He wants you to be like him! He gave you a body, abilities and spiritual gifts. He wants you and all of His children to discover and develop these gifts. He gave us a plan to help us be happy and bless others."
Those things are often made fun of and criticized in today's world. In your home and in mine and Pa's, they are celebrated, and as a result, we're happy - even when things are hard and overwhelming. I know that you have a lot of decisions you need to make in the next couple of years. Just have faith that the Lord will council you and guide you in the direction He wants you to go. I love you deeply and you are in my daily prayers asking that you are safe, feel of our love , your families love and Heavenly Father's love. Be brave, be happy, hold tight to the iron rod and keep your chin up.
Love,
Gam
