LET IT GO

Getting over a painful experience is much like crossing monkey bars. You have to LET GO at some point in order to move forward.

C.S. Lewis

Letting go of circumstances, people or certain relationships is not always easy; but sometimes it’s necessary in order for you to begin to move forward.

Think about it…

What comes to mind when you think about letting it go?

Do you want to continue holding on to past hurts and disappointments?

Are you willing to stay stuck?

What do you need to start letting go of today?

“CRY. FORGIVE. LEARN. MOVE ON. Let your tears water the seeds of your future happiness.”

Steve Maraboli

Release it… the turmoil the unforgiveness and resentments.

Think about…

How will “Letting it go” change your life?

Challenge yourself to begin to exam those circumstances that have held you back from your dreams and your future.

It’s time to RELEASE those things that are holding you back! You have to LET IT GO, in order to continue growing and making progress.

“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.”

{Isaiah 43:18-19}

Life Sometimes Hurts

Sometimes, I’m overwhelmed by God’s presence.

By His Goodness, His Grace and His Mercy;

His healing power, His comfort, His Peace

And how He can put the broken pieces of our lives back together

For I am the LORD your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.

Isaiah 41:13

Don’t be overwhelmed by life;

Be overwhelmed in the presence of the Giver of Life.

LORD my God, I called to you for help, and you healed me.

Psalm 30:2

Thanking you Lord for your healing presence.

Blessings and peace!

Tears in Grief

We need never be ashamed of our tears.
Charles Dickens

Grieving on Mother’s Day

Celebrating Moms…

I know that Mother’s day is a day of celebration for so many, but for others and many of my friends this is a very painful and difficult day, remembering the pain of their loss.

For those who have lost a mom, child, aunt, sister, a grandmother, a “just like a mom,” a friend, a wife, and those struggling with infertility…

I pray for peace in your heart and comfort for your soul

Allow your tears to flow, when they come

Many people dread Mother’s Day, because it’s just hard to face the raw emotional pain of your loss and want the day to come and go as quickly as possible.

For others it may be a time of being still and reflection, remembering, missing and honoring your loved one.

And for some you’re kind of in the middle beyond the raw excruciating pain but not quite able to reflect and remember with joy.

Everyone is at a different stage in their grieving process, so don’t compare yourself to others; just feel how you feel

Grief takes time… It’s a process

Joy will come again one day…

Do not sorrow, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.

Nehemiah 8:10 (NKJV)

Never lose Hope!

Embrace with gratitude the love and beauty surrounding you today

Hold on tightly to God and allow Him to give you comfort in your despair and longing and receive the peace that only He can give.

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

John 14:27(NIV)

Take a moment to quietly reflect and remember

Be kind to yourself

Remember that God is with you always and He will never leave you.

The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

Psalm 34:18 (NIV)

Blessed are those who mourn, for they WILL be comforted.

Matthew 5:4 (NIV)

Sending everyone a big (((HUG)))

Happy and Blessed Mother’s Day!

Grief Concealed…

He that conceals his grief finds no remedy for it.
