Let Go.....and Just Go With The Flow

Hello it's been a while...I've been so busy riding this huge wave that I call "LIFE". This thing can certainly throw some wicked curves! If someone had told me I'd be here this time last year I would have rebuked them with my little religious self(giggles). Wow, we reeeeeeaaaaaalllly don't know what all is in us until the pressure begins to mount, this statement is so very true. We'd like to think we know ourselves well, of course we do to a certain degree but who are we really??? When we want something or someone even that we can not have? When we have to wait much longer than we anticipated? When we've always tried our very best to play fair and treat others the way we wish to be treated and still experience hurt, betrayal and deception. Hhhuuuummm....who are we really? We are who we've always been-that's who. I believe that when we experience these trying times every good quality that we thought was in us is still there, we just get the oppotunity to become aquainted with the less appealing of ourselves. I say the "real you" the very essence of who you are never changes it only grows. Oprah said something profound that I absolutely love. She said when you do something wrong or bad "It's what you did-not who you are." My God! That is so freeing! So many of us get stuck in that very place where we fall short because we fail to realize this wonderful truth "It's what I did...it's not who I am." If everyone were able to do this we'd reach our fullest potential! If you have done something you're not so proud of, if you've been carrying shame whatever it is that's causing you to be stagnate...remember "It's not who you are beloved-it's what you did." If you offer a sincere apology, ask for forgiveness from whomever you feel you may need it and they're not ready to accept it then leave it with them because at this point you've done your part. Turn around, walk away, allow yourself to rise above it and get on with this gift of life that we're blessed with making the most of every moment.

In His Love,
Selah
