Some times I wonder what it would be like if I could sit down with the 16 or 17 year old version of myself. There are a lot of things I would say, but some of them would probably sound like these..
1. You think you are in love, but Kendall, you won't know what that means for a long time.
2. You are selfish, but you think you are righteous.
3. You will cry a lot more in the next four or five years than you can imagine, but it's in your rawest moments that you feel your first few touches from God.
4. When you think things are getting hopeless, don't worry, you never give up.
5. You are going to try to plan everything. Your plans fall in your face. It's okay though, God made a few plans of his own to take their place.
6. You will find yourself when you find God. Yeah, you haven't found Him yet, you just let a bunch of people tell you that you have.
7. You will lose everything only to discover that everything you had wasn't everything. You won't understand for a while and that will be hard.
8. College will be your moment of change and it will happen in a flash. Enjoy the ride.
9. Your family will rip at the seems and you will be the thing that sows them back together. Yes. Your prayers, they come true. Don't give up.
10. Your little brother doesn't hate you, he heard everything you said. He was listening even when you think he wasn't.
11. You'll learn the hard way that you can't fix everything, but it's a beautiful moment when you realize you aren't always supposed to.
12. You'll get to forgive the people you thought you never could. It will make all the difference.
