I got this in an email. The person who sent it to me doesn't have any idea about my situation. Funny how sometimes you get just what you need. It really hit home for me.
Let it go for 2005..
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.
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 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 2005!!! LET IT GO!!! Get Right or Get Left
.. think about it, and then ....
LET IT GO!!!
Take or leave the stuff about God, but the message is a good one.
Hugs to all,
Breathe

I'm glad this has helped some of you like it's helped me.
It's a powerful feeling, but very hard to do.
Bumping up just this one time, and then I'll let it go. (No pun intended.)

I loved it. Reminds me of a quote I go over in my head from time to time...
"Strength is not measured by holding on, but by letting go"

Great post

Breathe,
I am tearing up as i write this...wanted to thank YOU ..AGAIN. Your very post...was and is..the beginning of my real healing. It helps me to honor myself and my real love...my real ability to feel love (unlike him) AND heal at the same time.(I allowed it to be the right time for it). What a gift you've given me. I feel like i am getting to eat a lil cake for myself lol (i dont know if you understand that..meaning i get to feel good about myself AND do the right thing at the same time). Its almost like suger free-fat free but better tasting cake for a change.
Letting go...knowing that what i DO KNOW about myself is true and it doesnt matter if i prove it to him or not...is actually helping ME more. Honoring myself and getting used to that new skin, has actually made me treat myself better...stay on my diet even lol...I've lost 50lbs in 5 months. I started this journey before I met him (shortly) and I didn't let all the turmoil allow me to go back to my old ways. I feel free (lonley but hopefully its the first time to realllly look at myself without distraction but damn bored I tell ya lol).
Anyway, I got to eat "self-cake", because you allowed me to see that I should and can Let It Go.
I know i don't always make sense...so hard when so much wants to tumble out of my mouth through my fingers at the same time...hope you get what I mean...
many thanks, :::tight hug::
Lizzie
Time to bump this baby up.
