About this ebook
Letters of Solana is a collection of thirty letters filled with soul, sweetness, and living words.
It is inspired by the name Solana that means, “light.”
It is my hope that this book will not be stuck in corners and darkness.
It is made to be displayed in the boldness of brokenness and second chances.
It is made to pursue and stay in silent moments.
It is meant to be shared and celebrated.
It is meant to pierce through and through.
Whatever season you are in, it is made for you

To Nico,
Your pursuing leads me
to a place where love abounds.
You are my answered prayer.
To my Mom,
Your love is endless and selfless.
I wish to love like you.
You are my first and greatest treasure
now and forever.
To my Family,
Whenever I look at us,
I see a picture of grace.
Praise God for what He’s done
and for what He is still doing.
To my First Love,
I have everything
as long as I have You.
Yours is all the glory and victory.

Dear Beloved,
Letter 1
"Stop running away"
I hate to break it but you need to stop. Stop looking back.
Stop stalking him. Stop checking all his social media accounts
secretly. Stop using the hours of your day trying to discover
if he still thinks about you and if there’s still a chance for both
of you. Accept this: You deserve something greater than a memory.
Don’t spend so much time wanting him back. Stop running away from the life you have now. Stop being the ghost of your past. You’re burying yourself in agony instead of living the joy the present is freely giving you.
Remember that you already walked away from this. You can’t keep coming back to something that you and God have already shut down. No matter what kind of key you will use, it’s not gonna work and no matter how long you stay in the front door, nobody will open it anymore.
In fact, nobody’s in there. He is no longer there.
Your life is already on the other side. Turn around.
Face forward. So many things, so many new people,
and so many exciting new memories are waiting just for you.
I can almost hear them saying, "Are you not done yet?
Come on now. Let’s get started."
Stop running away, beloved.
God is making a way for you. Step out from your daydreams. Enter the floodgates of overflowing mercies. In the morning, when you wake up, set your eyes and heart with the new season that has been waiting for you for so long. His arms are welcoming you back. This has always been your home.
With fresh beginnings, love is covering all your past and all
