5 year radius

Trust 30 day 8
"There will be an agreement in whatever variety of actions, so they be each honest and natural in their hour." - Ralph Waldo Emerson 
What would you say to the person you were five years ago? What will you say to the person you'll be in five years?
5 years ago:

Hey buddy, you always knew this day would come. I'm future you, coming back for a visit. Your life is going to take some incredible turns. To give anything away would spoil the surprise.  I wouldn't want to miss the beauty of letting life unfold. Persevere, appreciate the journey, and take a few more notes along the way.

5 years from now:

I know you were expecting this, but I wanted to drop by anyway. If you're anything like me you need a little encouragement right now. In life there is joy and there is pain, but the master's hand is guiding everything.  Sometimes it's hard to find the light, but it is always there. Read Philippians again.  Trust God, persevere, appreciate the journey, and take a few more notes than you have been.
