I’m trying to learn to let go of an incredibly painful situation between a best friend that betrayed me, and now coping with the total loss of that relationship. It’s hard because I love and genuintely care for her so much. Don’t know if I’ll ever have a frienship like the one her and I shared. However, I have also had to recognize that there was alot about our relationship that was toxic as well. I KNOW there was a reason behind what happened. I just don’t know how to totally let go.

Also, I wanted to thank you for visiting my blog. I’m so glad our painful story is ministering to people. God is truly giving us beauty for our ashes. I am in awe that God could make something so beautiful for His glory, our of the messes we create. All glory be to Him!!!! There’s just no one like Him.

I struggle with holding onto my preconcieved notions of what God’s work looks like. Instead of letting Him WOW me afresh. Great post, Teresa.

I’m like Cindy, I still grasp on to my kids. But trying to let them go too.

So true. I think I grasp on to be liked and how I’m viewed in others’ eyes. God is stripping me one layer at a time. If I could just remember to be humble… that’s just not a prayer I like to pray! I do, however, want God to be praised in all I do or say!

This is so good. It reminds me of a word the Lord had given me along time ago– the story of the little girl with the fake pearls that the Father wanted to exchange for real ones– how ofter are we choosing something worthless and fake over what He has– the real deal, all because of fear.

Still grasping my kiddos.

And trying to release them at the same time.

This is good, Theresa. I’m learning to let go of more and more. Sometimes, I didn’t even realize I was holding on….or that it was trash.

I know exactly what you are saying! its true, we often hold on to something that we feel worthy, when HE is trying to pry it from our fingers, and wanting to give us something better! AMEN
