my child leaves me in 3 days... I think when most people's kids go away the parent feels some type of relief or pride, as though they have completed the task assigned... I don't see it that way.. I see that my life as I have known it is over... I am starting book 2... and that is terrifying to me...
most people do everything they can to hold on to the past... facebook, myspace, phone calls... I used to hold on to the past also... but God has taught me that when something is done, you have no need to turn back around... sometimes God will take us out of something and we break our neck to get it back... there was a reason it left or was taken in the first place... leave it go...
I moved to augusta in 2003... with 2 weeks worth of clothes, 2 kids, 5 cats and 1 ferret... everything I brought with me is no longer in my house (as of Saturday, including the kids..) I had no reason to move here... we took 3 days to get here and then just stopped and never left... when I got here I got peace like I have never had before... and when I leave, even to visit somewhere for a few days... I get unrest in my spirit... I belong here like I have never belonged anywhere... God put me here for such a time as this... and I guess book 2 is about to begin... I am afraid... but I am walking forward... I was afraid when I came to live here too... and it turned out to be the best move of my life.. finally allowing God to take over... allowing Him to remove all the things from the past...
what are you holding on to that needs to be let go of... let go and let God take over...
