• Let Go. Let God

• Life will not always be easy, Look to God for guidance

• Follow God at all times

• Remember your roots in the church and know that you are loved

• When something challenging occurs - pray, tell God, ask for wisdom, strength, & courage. Then to forward the way he wants you to - follow him.

• You don’t have to be perfect. God Loves you.
