If you could go back in time and give your younger self advice, what would it be?
Definitely… and I mean definitely! Don’t eat the yellow snow! I promise you, it’s NOT a lemon snowcone! 😜😂
Okay, now that we’ve covered that important life lesson, let’s get serious for a moment.
If I could go back in time and give my younger self one piece of advice, it would be this: When life gets tough, remember that things aren’t necessarily happening TO you, but FOR you.
There will be trials, struggles, disappointments, and moments when you’ll wonder what in the world God is doing. Trust me, there will be days when you’ll want to look toward heaven and say, “Ummm… Lord? Are we sure this is part of the plan? Because I’d like to file a complaint!” Lol!
But here’s the thing… this is not the entire story.
Sometimes you’ll find yourself tangled in the limbs of life’s challenges, unable to see what’s ahead. But keep slugging through, and keep trusting.
There’s light on the other side, and when you finally break through those branches, you’ll discover you’re stronger, wiser, and more resilient than you ever imagined.

God doesn’t cause our trials, but He does allow them—and yes… there’s a difference. He uses them to shape our character, deepen our faith, and prepare us for what’s ahead.
Sooo…. younger me, don’t lose heart! Trust God, embrace the journey, and remember that even the toughest chapters can lead to something beautiful.
Oh, and seriously… stay away from the yellow snow. Some lessons don’t need to be learned the hard way! 😂
