LETTING GO

Letting go isn't always easy.
But it is necessary in order to move on.

It's not about blame.
Or hate.
Or jealousy or even trying to fix what you think may have been broken.

Memories fall on our hearts like a permanent stain.
Whether as a lesson or a mistake. These blemishes paint a picture of who we are. Who we are to become.

The adventures that brought us to this point.
A road map of our next journey. And maybe where not to tread again.
Other times, a suggestion of poor timing.

Letting go frees us to embark on the adventures God has in store.
He never wants us to be weighed down. Unable to fly. No. That is never His plan.

Letting go is about love. Whether for yourself or someone else.
It oftentimes takes a great deal of courage, because it may have been a dream you're saying 'Goodbye' to.
It's about daring to take a leap of faith.

I hope you are able to look back on whatever you are letting go of with some type of fondness.
A little laughter and maybe some hope about what it taught you. Someday.

These journeys in life are little puzzle pieces.
So scattered at first.
Making no sense and definitely causing frazzled nerves upon searching for the edges.
But with faith, it evolves into a timeless work of art.

I know how I will choose to remember everything...
