Living for my Nephew (Open Letter)

Hey friend,

How are you feeling today? Pretty good. I’m glad to hear you’re doing well. Let me ask you question. Are you an auntie? Yes you said. Oh good so am I!! Isn’t auntiehood a blessing? Yes I made the word up lol.

Well I asked you that question because I want to share a letter with you I decided to write to my nephew.  I want him to have something he can look back on and read forever.  Do you have a few minutes to read it? Yes you said. Ok good. Here it is…

My dear nephew, 

I love you today, tomorrow and yesterday.  From the first day your mommy brought you home from the hospital I’ve been in love.  You’ve always been a happy child with a smile that would light up a room for days.  Never change this about yourself.  It’s a rare trait to possess in today’s world and since God gave it to you it’s a must you never lose it.  

open letter to my nephew

I’m writing you this letter to encourage your journey ahead as a sophomore in high school.  This is the time for you to start preparing  for your next move in life.  I want you to begin asking yourself questions like” What do I want to do? What do I like? What do I love? How will I show up in the world?”because although your parents brought you into this world you have an individual assignment to fulfill.  You are responsible for how you choose to live your life from this day forward.  I know you want to make your mommy, daddy and sisters proud which is perfectly ok but never forget about making yourself proud first.  Now I know you may not be able to answer the questions I mentioned earlier right away but I want you to start preparing your mind for manifestation.  What is manifestation you ask?  Simply put it is asking God for what you want then waiting on Him to reveal it to you.  You deserve it all.  I want you to be ready for when it comes.  You are a beautiful soul with a big heart.  You are hard-headed sometimes but I’ve seen the lessons learned make you stronger.  

I want you to continue to learn your craft.  Your talent for singing has elevated you to a nurturing school enviornment with unlimited opportunities.  Take advantage of them all.  This is a blessing that not everyone will get to experience.  You were chosen so don’t ever forget to let God know you’re thankful.  

The last thing I want you to do is to continue to love honestly.  Check in with your heart often to see if it’s getting all it needs.  It’s important in order for it to continue to work correctly.  Ask questions and start again.  Enjoy the journey and never give up!!

I love you always and forever Monta,

With Hugs and Love,

Auntie Kelly

 

What advice would you give your nephew?

Hey friend,

How are you feeling today? Not so well . Sorry to hear this is going on with you right now.  May I pray for you? You said yes. Ok well here you go.

Heavenly Father,

Thank you for waking me up this morning to see another day.

I woke with a clear heart and mind ready to receive the blessing of this day.

I thank you for all the connections whether new or old that will come my way today.

I pray the reconnection will be a blessing to us both.  I pray for my family and friend’s health and wellbeing so they may operate in your Will today, Lord.

I surrender and trust your Will for my life as well Lord.

I will continue to learn my craft in order to perfect my assignment.

Thank you for trusting me with such a fulfilling purpose, Lord.

In your name I pray,

AMEN

I hope this prayer is a blessing for you my friend.

With Hugs and Love,

Hey Survivors,

Be confident in the love you give.

It is a direct reflection of who you are to the world.

It’s a responsibility that only the strong can carry.

I will take my life and share it in your life so you can be the light of the next life you come in contact with today.

Show everything.

Transfer the apparent scarred parts so they can be seen.

This is where life is introduced to the lesson.

Be confident in the love you give.

It is a direct reflection of who YOU are to the world.

With Hugs and Love,

Lakell

What lesson have you learned from love?

Dear God,

Thank you so much for the revelation 3 days ago. Man, it was a hard blow. I know I got caught up. I wanted to be loved so much that I forgot you are the only one that continues to love me unconditionally. Knowing all that God it still hurt. I stood in the closet that night and prayed for you to protect my heart. Although I forgot that the process would include pain. I feel a shame, hurt, guilt, angry and grateful all at the same time.
I feel shame because I opened my heart and I closed my eyes to the signs. I feel hurt because he could have told me but chose not to I have guilt because I should have known better than to hand my heart over to a stranger

I feel angry because of the in your face disrespect to take no responsibility to just say ” I’m sorry.” Last but not least I am grateful that you God knew what I needed before I asked for it. I know I need to love people anyway because we all make mistakes so I will do that. I will forgive Markus Bolden. PERIOD. But I will never forget how it felt to be hurt by his actions and my neglect. I wish him and his wife the best for years to come. He was in my life for a season and I will say it was a season full of laugh, hugs, kisses and profound intimacy. I felted loved by him truly. I pray to you God that I will find love again at the right time with the right soul attached.
In Jesus Name, I pray
AMEN
