It has only been recently that I finally, truly understood an amazing saying. The saying goes: "Let go, and Let God." Simple right? Well I have been told this saying in various forms and I was always like, "of course. I do that all the time, whatever." And for the past couple of years I have been hearing it from MJ. She has drilled it into my mind pretty much, thanks girl! But it wasnt until I learned the power of acceptance (aaaaahhhhh - written in big gold sparkling letters and spoken with an echo) that I began to understand this phrase. You see, I have never been one for letting things go and accepting the fact that is the fact. I always felt that if I worried enough or fought the outcome enough that what "I" thought was right, would turn out right. I never stopped to think that what the magnificant me thinks is right may not be "right". So when I understood that things happen the way the meant to and that things are the exact way they are no matter what! and when I stopped dwelling on the fact that I wanted it to be different or that it wasnt fair, that was when I realized that now, I was letting go and letting God take over for me. And you know what? I feel Good.
Now dont get me wrong, there are still many times when I need to vent. Venting is good, as long as that is not all we are doing. If we can vent and let it all out and then assess and help to heal the situation then BRING ON THE VENTING! So my words of encouragment for today and to take a couple minutes to really think about things and if you need to vent about something no matter how major or minor it is, let it out. And write it in here, and all of us strong powerful women can work together to make eachother continue on in greatness!

You are right Stephanie. So many times we try to solve everything ourselves. We should save ourselves some anguish and from all the bad things that come with high blood pressure, and just have
A LOT of faith that God knows all, sees all, hears all, and is the only one who can truly help, even if it is through us. So let's not try to be Atlas Shrug, we have to let Him bear our burden since He is far more capable.
I've told Marquesas this before, but one of my flute books one time had a cool saying. It was talking about how to overcome performance anxiety, but it works well with anything:
Let it come, Let it be, Let it go.
This helps alot in times where I would normally get angry. If you mull over what is making you angry or anxious and let it sit inside you, that's just what you'll be is angry or anxious. But, if you Let it come(don't force the feeling away), Let it be(acknowledge the feeling for what it is), & Let it go(as quickly as it came)...I dunno, it works...but it does take alot of effort!
Great post Stephanie!
So, as I was in the shower I was thinking about something...should the saying then be:
Let it come, Let it be, Let it go, & Let God.
????
Truly an epiphany, right? HA!
Anyway, it works for me!
let it come, let it be, let it go, let god!
I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!
that is our new mantra. hahaha
