Dear 27 year old Ashtan,
By this time you should be a nurse at a hospital or off in another country helping people come to Christ, and nursing the sick ones back to health. I pray to God that everything works out for you, and that you will succeed in everything you do. I hope that you have papaw Barnett's old farm and that you will have the farm you have always wanted, with horses, goats, cows, Golden Retrievers and all of the jazz.
Also I hope you are a leader in the Fusion youth group helping Nick and Chris show the love of God to all of those wonderful teens, and that you still love to sing and play your saxophone, and that you do that with your kids and show then your love of music. Always know that God is with you no matter what, and that you can go to mom about anything she has been through more than you think and can help you with whatever is going on, and I know sometimes dad can be a grouch, but he loves you with all of his heart and wants the best for you.
Make sure that you still stay close to Cooper, he loves you a lot, and he looks up to you, so help him with his walk with God. To quote your favorite song right now; These are the words I would say by Sidewalk Prophets "Be strong in the Lord and never give up hope, your gonna do great things I already know. God's got his hand on you, so don't live life in fear, forgive and forget, but don't forget why you are here. So take your time and pray." These ARE the words I would say to you.
Sincerely,
your younger self
