What do you do when you prepare to give up something only to have it return? The whole releasing and letting go of stuff, relationships, trinkets, etc. doesn’t come easy for me. Even when I instinctually know that thing or method no longer works for me. I can be loyal to a fault almost to my own detriment. Ever found yourself going to a job, hanging onto a relationship, keeping up appearances at certain activities all the while you seeing your liveliness seep right out of you?
I have both hands raised because I never wanted to be a quitter. Some how the ingrained message of quitting being synonymous with the F-word—F A I L U R E plays like an unwelcome jiggle in my head. As the jiggle plays, I find myself vacillating between two choices. Do I take it’s return as meaning it’s not time to be release or do I try my hand at releasing it into another place.
Life is full of choices. Selah
Saying a prayer for you, Wanda. Many blessings, my friend.
Very much appreciated Pam.
Release into another place 😀
I too am feeling the tug and war of this same subject!
I have people I love you do not understand my passion for art.
This is causing a lot of issues and I’m tired of fighting about it.
Yet, if I give it up…I give up on me…..
I’m told “Oh, you don’t have to choose, but all the other factors say
otherwise.” Lots of disrespect…on many levels!
I’m tired….and ready to release my expectations, but not give up….
Just redirect!
Maybe you can too redirect?!
(((hugs)))

Redirect…I like the sound of that Ella 🙂
Weird. I’ve been thinking about it; what would I do? Well, I wrote down some questions to ask, and I know I have to make sure things have changed before accepting it back into my life. Of course, right now there is no indication it will return, but I keep having a very strong feeling that all is well, despite my misery. I wish I knew what it all meant.
HURRY UP GOD YOU’RE DRIVING ME CRAZY LOL
LOL…I know that hurry up crazy feeling all too well Elizabeth.
Sometimes failure is staying with something as well. We just have to know the difference.
I agree Alex! It’s all a matter of discernment.
So true Wanda; we have so many choices! Letting go isn’t always easy, as a matter of fact it can be very hard! Our tendency is to hold on because these things tend to become attachments, however the longer we carry it the worse it gets, because when we continually hang on to something we aren’t allowing ourselves to move forward! 🙂
Blessings for a wonderful weekend sweet friend!
Denise
Thank sweet friend for sharing your wisdom. That’s exactly what I need to focus on moving forward rather than been stuck on the attachment end of the situation. Hope you have a great weekend as well, Denise
I totally understand, love you sweet friend.
Love you too Denise. Hope you’re feeling better dear.
Wanda, sometimes I think we have had a face-to-face discussion because you hit exactly on what’s in my heart. I am thankful that God, in His mercy, guides to the path He wants us to take.
Isn’t that amazing LaVonne. I too have words you have written and think she says exactly what I can’t find the words to express.
I feel like quitting often but persist
I suppose we all find ourselves in that spot from time to time.
