Never Hold On

"Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love,

    for I have put my trust in you.
Show me the way I should go,
    for to you I entrust my life."- Psalm 143:8

"Let it Go, Let it Go. Can't hold it back anymore! 

Let it go, Let it Go! Turn away and slam the door!"

And yes, I do work with children (aka little children). 

          This verse has been my life this month. I haven't had a verse that I have lived by or realized that I lived by until this month. I feel like everything that is happening is because of this verse right here. I have been through some of the most painful times but yet got the answers that I needed to move on. I have learned to let go and entrust my life to God.

          I was just reading a devo. with this verse as the theme verse and the writer puts is this way: "It is a choice. I choose to put my trust in God everyday, when my heart wavers." Right now, that is something I need to do with everything in my life. I need to make it a choice first and foremost, to put my trust in God's plan for my life. I need to let go of what He is telling me to let go of for now and maybe ever and just trust that that other person or thing will be good in life because of God. 

          Letting go, especially of people that I really care about, is hard for me. When I chose to invest in them or things like that it is hard. I know that I have a God that loves me more then anyone can and that is all that really matters. God has unfailing Love for me and just me so why not put my trust in Him. The Only True One I can really depend on. Why not devote my Life to Him and not some other person. Not trying to put anyone down because I know they are doing what they think is best for the both of us and I know they would never want to hurt me but I'm just saying like it should be for all of us towards God.

          God's mercies are new every morning! That is another thing that we should remember. I can't explain how I am feeling at the moment with this verse coming in the perfect month of my life and situation but I know God is up to something. I can let go physically of the people I love but one thing is for sure if I care and love them enough then I will never let go of them spiritually. If they have made a big impact on my life, then I'm never going to let go of them spiritually. They will always be in my prayers one way or the other. 

          Another thing is just to trust that God is leading everything that is being decided in this situation and others that while it might seem hard it might be what is needed. It might sound out of the world to you but between the other person and God, maybe it is just the thing needed. Sometimes it might even be the thing you need to get yourself to let go and devoted to God again because you didn't realize you were doing certain things or didn't really see the other's feelings. 

         It is so hard to let go of something that is material or flesh but just maybe it is needed to see the spirituality in things. It being me and yes, I do think like this I should have seen things working up to the situation. I should have seen the things nice and clearly and I should have stopped but when I didn't that is when God took control and was like," You need to stop this." God was putting thoughts in my mind of what to do even before I ever saw this coming. Once again, God knows how to prepare us too for things. 

        This quote was in the demo. too and I just LOVE it right now! It is: "Life seems to be full of moments that ask us to let go when we long to hold on." I will be true here. I was holding on for so long when I should have just let go by doing the asking. I truly believe, though, that God is going to us this for the good in both of our lives. God is just going to keep growing us more. To be honest, too, it is strange that after my second baptism all of this is happening too. Maybe God knows something that I don't know yet because He always does! Maybe this was a change that I needed but was to scared to let go of so I held on.

         If there is one tip from this entry, let it be: "Never hold on. Let Go with God tells you to let go. Don't even doubt Him for a second because things will get worse and you might never get those good moments back." I will give the Proverbs 31 Ministry credit for it because that is where I got the 1st and 2nd quote and that idea and reminder that I have to choose to trust God everyday. It is a choice. Third quote was a quote that I made up.
