Season to let go...

Greetings!

I don't know what part of the world you may be from, but here in Maryland, it is HOT. I am working really hard not to complain because I definitely did not enjoy having to shovel snow. And let me tell you, it wasn't any cooler at church today.

My pastor was on fire. He put it all out there, and I felt the heat. One of the things he preached about today was trying to hold onto people past the time we need to let them go. Not because they are bad for us, but because your season with them is over...for now. Some things only you and God can go through. When you need someone else...He will send them. My pastor said it is a lot harder for us to let go of those people who are actually good to us and for us because it doesn't make sense to us, and he is right. Someone who is a bad influence is a no-brainer, but when the person is someone we love, it feels wrong somehow.

I know God is trying to tell me something because I just had a conversation with one of my sisters about that very thing yesterday. My mother passed away when I was a teenager, and I have always found it hard to let go of people. I know that I hold on way too long. I have learned that some people can't handle that kind of loyalty. I want everyone to stay and be happy, but sometimes that is just not part of God's plan for us.

The word says that God's plan is to prosper us and not to harm us, so I am all in with Him. I know He will be with me wherever I go, and for me...that is all I need to know.

Until next time...

Be blessed
