(Intro music)
Daughter, please listen to me
I know you want to be on your own and I understand, I am not going to stop you if that's what you want. I do have to let you know that you will be on your own thereafter and for me it is hard to take in.
I always wanted you to leave the house married and to have that peace of mind that your husband would then be there to watch over you. Please, I ask you to make your decisions base on what you know is right and true and not because everyone else is doing it.
You living on your own scares me in more ways then one and I have to trust God will watch over you if that is the case. If you make that decision please don't compromise who you are - for no one-because of pressure, if you do your story might become those of some of your past friends that you would tell us about.
Always remember, If you want Gods blessing upon your life and His approval you have to do things His way and I trust you will. Life is short and a bad move can affect your whole life to never again get a reset. I am not scolding or lecturing you, I am simply letting you know things will change for all of us once you leave.
I am not trying to manipulate you or to bring fear, I am not. You need to understand that once you leave you will have no restrictions and no one stopping you from anything and that can become dangerous and life altering if not surrounded by the right people.
I think this young man you are dating is a good guy but my question is what is his intentions with you? I've always told you when you date you date to marry and you have to give yourself that value.
This is me caring enough to tell you the truth regardless if you don't like it and I am not being mean or upset but concerned for your future. You tell me to trust you but your behavior is leading you contrary to what we have taught you, how can I trust that? You want to do your own thing but your own thing apart from God is going to leave you feeling empty.
Remember when you hurt we all hurt and when you are glad we all are glad too. We all want the same thing and that is for you to be happy. Please consider my words and don't delete them keep them and read them over and over maybe you can see my heart in it one day and see how much I really love you.
