Letting Go...

I've been doing some heavy thinking, praying, and brainstorming. Some things have been on my heart recently - I always wondered why things seem to hit at once. Why couldn't all of this have come before or after this election stuff? LOL

I just wish things could be what they seemed and when your brain made a logical decision, that your heart could get in line and follow suite. But there's so many complications, things you know you did wrong, and trying to identify and fix those.

I'm left with the thoughts of What if...? The best conclusion I've come to is to let go...I don't have a choice. Things will work how they are supposed to, as long as I don't just sit back and watch life happen. As long as I jump in there and do what I know is right, His plan and purpose will be followed through.

I was going through some blogs and came across this...it seems to be just perfect for my pattern of thoughts!


To let go does not mean to stop caring,
it means I can't do it for someone else.

To let go is not to cut myself off,
it's the realization I can't control another.

To let go is not to enable,
but allow learning from natural consequences.

To let go is to admit powerlessness,
which means the outcome is not in my hands.

To let go is not to try to change or blame another,
it's to make the most of myself.

To let go is not to care for, but to care about.

To let go is not to fix, but to be supportive.

To let go is not to judge,
but to allow another to be a human being.

To let go is not to be in the middle arranging all the outcomes,
but to allow others to affect their destinies.

To let go is not to be protective,
it's to permit another to face reality.

To let go is not to deny, but to accept.

To let go is not to nag, scold or argue,
but instead to search out my own shortcomings and correct them.

To let go is not to adjust everything to my desires,
but to take each day as it comes and cherish myself in it.

To let go is not to criticize or regulate anybody,
but to try to become what I dream I can be.

To let go is not to regret the past,
but to grow and live for the future.

To let go is to fear less and love more

Remember: The time to love is short
