Wednesday: Words I love

My cute friend Hailey is amazing.

She had this posted on her blog and it really got me thinking!

What would I tell my 16 year old self if I could go back in time?

Here it is..

Thanks Hailey!

 {here I am, 16 years old- Not a care in the world, and so happy with life..}

Mikell if I could go back in time and tell you 10 things, I would say:

Set goals for yourself, and stick to them.
.

Always show love to your family. Your boyfriends and girlfriends will come and go, but they will always be your constant.
.

Play with your sister when she asks you to. You think she's annoying now, but you'll grow up to love her more than your sister, but as a best friend.
.

You know your self-worth. Don't let anyone else tell you otherwise.
.

Don't take for granted the wonderful friendships you have.

You'll have to put your pride aside later to get the ones you want back.
.

Lean on the church, do not push it away. This will be your greatest joy to your life.
.

Decide now who want to be. Trying to figure it out later down the road will be the hard way.
.

Listen to the advice of your friends and family. Sometimes people on the outside have a better view of what's going on. 
.

Life will bring you difficult trials. You'll be angry and confused but later you'll realize they were all Heaven sent. Keep your head up.
.

You are beautiful, loved, and have all the potential in the world.

Do not forget that.
