I guess there comes a time in everyone's life where they feel this need to finally just pick it up and move on. From that person, that place, or that thing that has kept us from being the best version of ourselves. And it it scary and it isn't something we can just wake up one morning and decide. Heck, it isn't even easy to move on from something even months after it has happened. In my life I am finding myself trying to hold onto things that have hurt me in the past and I am coming to realize that this isn't helping me whatsoever. Holding onto the things that cause pain just causes more pain. Shocking right? I live in the past. I do and I hate admitting this out loud because it is a weakness of mine and who in their right mind enjoys sharing their weaknesses? I guess maybe I hold onto these things because they are so easy to be recovered. A song, a picture, a person, a laugh. All things that can bring us back to places we can't afford to be in any longer. I am making it my conscious goal to not let these things effect me anymore. Easier said than done and I understand that more than anything but God has a greater plan for us than to sit here and remind ourselves constantly of where we used to be. Job 17:9 says that "The righteous keep moving forward, and those with clean hands become stronger, and stronger." HE has a plan for us and it isn't to sit here and remind ourselves of our lowest places but rather to to move on and only grow and learn from our past experiences. I find this comforting to know that there is something greater than myself out there that knows what I am going through and understands that this is all temporary and that whatever HE has planned is greater. I want to know and to feel like I am not alone and I am grateful that I am not. I never will be. And I leave this out to anyone who may have needed to hear this. It hurts, but we can only grow from it.
we can do anything through Him.
