To a friend who kept going home from college every weekend her freshman year. She said she needed to come home and get a hug. I kept encouraging her to stay there and to build relationships. She was struggling with being angry at God for different cirucmstances in her life and was having a hard time getting past the pain of knowing she had been upset with and even yelled at God.

Darling girl,
You have more strength than you realize. I AM praying for you. I'm glad you are staying there this weekend. You're not missing out on a chance to get a hug... you're gaining a beautiful chance to deepen relationships there. I'm so proud of who you are and what you are striving for.
Do not feel bad about yelling at God. MoM says, everyone who is truly walking with God has come to that point some time or another in life. He still loves you. He knows your heart. You WILL have peace.
Moments have come your way, joys, people, friendships... and more will come. Don't rush them and don't push them away either. TRUST in TRUTH. TRUST that God is providing for you and preparing a way for you.
I love you very much and I care so much about you. You are my precious little sister and my heart is in constant prayer for you for: Learning, teaching, growing, peace, joy, love, understanding, trust, FREEDOM.
I won't even be here for the next few weekends. So you see, it's good for you to remain there. You need time and opportunities to meet people there to share life with. Take time to build community... community is necessary for your growth and your encouragement.
Chin up- confidence- and let your confidence come from the truth you live in.
a million hugs,
joy
