Letting Go...

It's always really hard for me when I come to the point of realizing that everything I have tried that was humanly possible, failed.

Then I go through the process of anger, blaming myself, and playing events of the scenario in my head over and over.

No matter the situation, the ups and downs of marriage, loss of a loved one, or the end of a valued friendship. The truth is, the process hurts. Real bad.

Letting go and accepting that I have absolutely no control of what happens, is a very scary place to be.

However, it is only when I release my hold, surrendering the need to work things out. When I finally hand over the issue to Abba, (My Heavenly Father), I exhale.

Releasing frees me to receive, shifts my perspective, allows those chosen by Abba to step in and continue where I left off.

Much like the game of Relay. The community has helped to carry me through the next leg of the race. Passing the baton to "The Counselor," close friend, family member, has been like a breath of fresh air.

I don't have to be burnt out anymore.
