With Love from Danielle

Charisse,
As I have told you before, not only have I found the love of my life in your brother, I have found an amazing friend and “sister” in you. You are such a beautiful, strong woman and I am so blessed to know you. I know at times you don’t have much faith in yourself, but you can never forget to simply believe. You are so much more of a person than you give yourself credit for. There is no need for you to worry about the past. You just need to keep looking forward and know that there are many better days ahead of you.
These are the lyrics to a song by Matthew West called “History.”
“Its been a bad day, you've been looking back
And all you can see is everything you wish you could take back
All your mistakes, a world of regrets
All of those moments you would rather forget
I know it's hard to believe
Let me refresh your memory,

Chorus:
Yesterday is history
And history is miles away
So leave it all behind you
Let it always remind you of the day
The day that love made history.”
Every time I hear this song, I think of you. Always remember what the Lord has done for you and is continuing to do in your life. He is constantly working, and although sometimes you feel like He is not answering your prayers, you have to remember that your plans for your life and the things you want are not always in accordance with His will, but His will is in the best interest of your heart and His as a whole.

In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps. Proverbs 16:9

I love you so much and I am so happy to be a part of your life. You are amazing and I don’t know where I would be without you. By the way, you need to stop biting your nails, which you are doing very loudly on the couch next to me right now.

Love, Danielle
