The End of another Chapter

In the book of life, another chapter has come to an end officially. My divorce was final on Monday, just waiting for the papers now. It's been a long time coming, some folks thought it would never happen. Others felt it should have happened a long time ago. 

It's something I've wanted for quite a while, knowing that the 'relationship' was over. While we are still friends and there are no hard feelings over it, this divorce has been much better than the first one.

Some things are just not meant to be and probably never should have happened. What seemed like a good idea at the time, was quickly unfolded into a mistake that shouldn't have happened ever. 

While we started out as friends and roommates, we were never really a couple. I have a few regrets; nothing can change the past. I wish things would have been different, for my kid's sakes as well as my own. I did the best I could for them all obstacles considered. It's all good in any case. They are grown now and moving forward in their own lives and What's done is done. Time for everyone to move forward. 

I won't be looking for any new relationships. My life will be my own in the future. I will stick to the companionships of the dogs, cats and my horse. Sadly, neither marriage brought my heart much love or affection, so it's something I shall not really miss. It was never really there. I'm content with the love of my family and fur babies. 

There is a peace about it all now. My name is officially returning to my birth given name, I'm me, and not the extension of someone else anymore. No more walking on eggshells, no more compromising, no more being responsible for someone else or having to defend myself from another's accusations. 

Here's to a new chapter ~ To a new beginning ~

Let Go

 

You pray and you pray and you pray. You tell God all about it, ask for His help, Thank Him for the many blessings He has provided in your life. Then you wonder why your prayer hasn't been answered. How many times, do you pray for something and then feel like it's 'just not happening'. 

When you pray, do you leave it at the altar? or do you pick it back up as soon as you are done praying?

God said, "Bring your burdens to me". "Give them to me". He didn't say, "Tell me what's bothering you" as if just to listen. He said to give them to Him. Let Go.

When you give someone something, do you give it to them and still hang on to it? or do you let it go?

The hardest part about praying, is 'Letting go'. Once you pray about it, you have to leave it at the altar. Leave it in God's hands and Let Go.

People feel like they need to be in 'charge', in 'control'. People don't like change. More often than not, we stay in bad situations just because we don't like the feeling of the unknown. We don't like to change. There is comfort in consistency. There is freedom in faith.

If you want answered prayers, If you want your burdens lifted; You can't pick it back up and start worrying about it again. Have faith. You gave it to Him and He will take care of it. May not be what you expect or how you wanted it handled. But it will be the way God wants to handle it and usually it's the better choice for you. 

Sometimes, God is trying to change the direction we are moving in, trying to lead us into the path He wants us to follow. You have to let go and let God drive, if you expect to get there. 

Give your burdens to God, have faith, trust in Him and Let it Go. Stop worrying about it and focus forward. Great Blessings will follow, when you let God lead. 

Blessed by God
