Thoughts from a year ago that ring true today...

[jessie613]

I was going through an old blog site I used to write on a long time ago. I had written so much about my pregnancy with Jr. and other stuff and came across this post I made... it was for New Year’s of 07.... When I reread this it spoke to me just as much as when my Mom sent it to me last year! I hope this blesses someone as it has blessed me.

Posted on my blog on 1/6/07:

Let it Go for 2007

My Mom e-mailed this to me and I wanted to share it:

 

Let it go for 2007..
By T. D. Jakes

There are people who can walk away from you.

And hear me when I tell you this! When people can walk away from you:
let them walk.
I don’t want you to try to talk another person into
staying with you, loving you, calling you, caring about you, coming
to see you, staying attached to you. I mean hang up the phone. When
people can walk away from you let them walk.
Your destiny is never tied to anybody that left.

The bible said that, they came out from us
that it might be made manifest that they were not for
us. For had they been of us, no doubt they would have continued with
us. [1 John 2:19]

People leave you because they are not joined to you.
And if they are not joined to you, you can’t make them stay.

Let them go.

And it doesn’t mean that they are a bad person it just
means that their part in the story is over. And you’ve got
to know when people’s part in your story is over so that you don’t
keep trying to raise the dead.

You’ve got to know when it’s dead.

You’ve got to know when it’s over. Let me tell you
something. I’ve got the gift of good-bye. It’s the tenth spiritual
gift, I believe in good-bye. It’s not that I’m hateful, it’s that I’m
faithful, and I know whatever God means for me to have He’ll give it
to me.
And if it takes too much sweat I don’t need it. Stop begging people
to stay.

Let them go!!

If you are holding on to something that doesn’t belong to you and was
never intended for your life, then you need to......

LET IT GO!!!

If you are holding on to past hurts and pains .

LET IT GO!!!

If someone can’t treat you right, love you back, and
see your worth.....

LET IT GO!!!

If someone has angered you .........

LET IT GO!!!

If you are holding on to some thoughts of evil and revenge.....

LET IT GO!!!

If you are involved in a wrong relationship or addiction... ...

LET IT GO!!!

If you are holding on to a job that no longer meets your needs or
talents ..

LET IT GO!!!

If you have a bad attitude.... ...

LET IT GO!!!

If you keep judging others to make yourself feel better......

LET IT GO!!!

If you’re stuck in the past and God is trying to take

you to a new level in Him......

LET IT GO!!!

If you are struggling with the healing of a broken
relationship. ......

LET IT GO!!!

If you keep trying to help someone who won’t even try
to help themselves.. ...

LET IT GO!!!

If you’re feeling depressed and stressed .......

LET IT GO!!!

If there is a particular situation that you are so
used to handling yourself

and God is saying "take your hands off of it,"

then you need to......

LET IT GO!!!

Let the past be the past. Forget the former things.
GOD is doing a new thing for 2007 !!!

LET IT GO!!!

Get Right or Get Left
think about it, and then ....

LET IT GO!!!

"The Battle is the Lord’s!"

During the next 60 seconds, Stop whatever you are
doing, and take this opportunity. (Literally it is only ONE minute!)

All you have to do is the following:

You simply say "The Lords Prayer"

The Lords Prayer

Our Father, who are in Heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name, Thy Kingdom

Come, Thy Will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day, our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses
as we
forgive those who trespass against us And lead us not into
temptation but
deliver us from evil.

For Thine is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the
Glory, forever.

Amen.

"Yes, I love my God. He is my fountain of

Life and My Savior.

He Keeps me going day and night.

Without Him, I am no one.

But with Him, I can do
everything, Christ is my strength."

God loves you and watches over you everyday.

If God brought you to it,
He will bring you through it.

Hi Jessie!

Wonderful, that is so cool. I love what your mom sent to you and what you have passed on here. Sounds like she knew someone who was obsessive, but don't we all. Includes us sometimes! Thanks for the journal, God bless you and yours.

djvjn- Isn't it something to go back and read your old journals. I'm glad that I have kept journals and blogs so I can look back on what my thought were and to see how I've changed!

Candy- I'm glad you enjoyed the post :)
