Bonnie over at Faith Barista is hosting a linky party inviting everyone to write a letter to her younger self giving advice for the faith-journey ahead. I like a thought-provoking challenge so I am going to participate.Here goes!Dear Newlywed me,I'm smiling at you standing there in your clothes that you made yourself, sitting at the sewing machine for hours.
