You are loved.

God loves you. If you take nothing else from my love notes, know that you are loved beyond your imagination. If you know this, really know and trust this love in your mind and heart, then each day you live is full of purpose and meaning, and your choices will be positive. God loves you because He created you and you are His. You are alive to know, love, and serve Him. This is the most beautiful love story of your life!

The teen years are short - 7 years out of your life. The privilege and responsibility to choose well, increases rapidly. In this time you change from a child to a one-of-a-kind adult. This change is painful and purposeful. Let this not discourage you, but rather be reassured that your difficulties are life tests. With good information, encouragement, and support, you can pass these tests with flying colors! Who do you want to be? Who do you want to become?
