Dear Daughters,
This is the first of hopefully many letters I will write to you throughout my life. My words so often come out more clearly when I write. You are young now, but one day will understand the things I want to tell you.
I am currently trying to rid my life of things that keep me from really living. Living in the way God intended. I am easily distracted. My mind wanders; my emotions are fickle. My desires are so often temporal and uneasily satisfied. I know the reason behind this, though I so often don't live in light of the truth. I am always striving but never quite getting where I am trying to go. I grasp at the temporal things of this world seeking satisfaction or a better life only to find I've been clawing at the sand, never leaving where I started.
