I feel like in some things I know I have to let go when I am doing everything I can and I am just not seeing the results I want to see. But sometimes the results of a situation are indicating I need to let go but something deep inside me is still holding on to a hope I cant explain. That's when I just sit with it, accept the confusion I am feeling between my head and heart and I just stop trying to figure out what to do or what steps to take and instead focus my attention on seeking God to provide direction and clarity through continuous prayer. Eventually my being shifts from that position of confusion and the answers and direction becomes more visible to see or peace with what the situation is just starts to flow.
shuuuuuuuuu!!! Im so glad the people get to read the soulful wisdom you come at me with. Getting passed the confusion is everything! i have been more tormented by the confusion about a situation than the situation itself. Its like driving through a storm without windshield wipers. Get your wipers on, then you can figure out how to navigate. thanks for this!
I've made it a habit to listen to the voice of God. I go when He says go, even if it's painful. E.g. I recently "let go" of a business I started 2 years ago and because it had served it's purpose in my life and God needed me elsewhere, I handed over the business to my sister who joined me about year ago. Now, I'm a 31 year old pursuing my music career, after I spent the passed 10 years working on a different career path because I was too scared of the industry. But I'm pursuing it now because God says it's time. Now God speaks in different ways, sometimes through our gut, sometimes through dreams, visions or through other people, we just have to be willing to listen. I learnt a while back, the hard way, that anything done in our own power and outside of God's will is bound to bring misery and there is no peace. Whenever I do anything knowing that this is in line with God's will, I am at peace in the midst of the pain. So I said all of that to say, for me, PEACE is the indicator of whether I should stay or go.
Hey Lilly! Love your EP by the way. Such a beautiful body of work. So I held on to a Word which I believed was from God (about a man). I held on for 5 years waiting for that thing to happen. It caused me so much pain, I was not getting breakthrough. And I suffered shem in my holding. I also tried various ways to make this work but it was not coming together. Eventually I let go...I don’t even know how but I had to trust that the bible Im reading is true and that He has a plan for me. So I walked away. I’m at peace now. I don’t feel the hurt anymore. Maybe thats a good thing or maybe thats a bad thing because the word in 1 Peter 4 verse one...says that we need to embrace suffering as our attitude. All I know is that I feel better having let it go because that thing not coming to pass caused me STREEEESSSSS. For some, letting go helps but for some holding on helps. So I don’t have an answer. Just my experience.
Girrrrrrl please send me your email address on instagram. I really wanna give you feedback on this. Just not here...🙈 and sorry for the delayed response.
Looooooved this! Totally resonates with me! Definitely still learning how to know when to let go/give up but one big indicator is when it constantly takes from me far more than what I can give, in every way: emotionally, spiritually and even sometimes physically. But yes, still more learning to be done..
This entire topic is a lot😩😂 It doesn't help that our culture also loves a good struggle story; we applaud "pull yourself by the bootstraps" mentalities in the name of perseverance or grit. It's almost as if we need to suffer to feel like we've earned real success. Colossians 3:15 helps sometimes. Let the peace of Christ [the inner calm of one who walks daily with Him] be the controlling factor in your hearts [deciding and settling questions that arise].
Me too!! so glad im not the only one! These days I even warn Blaque that an ugly cry might be coming in a few days and he must not freak out. Its a way of life😂
I cry alot too shem. Being a creative is work, and it takes out so much. I've often asked myself is still worth it, should I shut down my company, should I find something more sustainable. Lol it's hectic
Me is the opposite. Me i leave. I let go. I give up. Whatever it is called. I walk away😂😂😂😂😂that's my natural response. The difficulty comes when I have to stay. For me is "should I stay here" that's difficult and challenging for me. Otherwise, am Johnny walker 🕴
The thing is when the moment comes you feel like letting them go is not even Christlike lol...dealing with that is so tough hey😅 I’m also a gut person...intuition. But then I ignore it😂😂😂 what’s next? Which friendship now? Now I have to learn what someone else likes and dislikes Yho this is so true😭
I do. I still yah gurl lol. Honestly, I'm the opposite. Oh at least I used to be. Giving up, oh I mean letting go, came easy. Like I said before, no direction so it was nothing to let go and start again with something else that may or may not get me to where I want to be. Relationships, on the other hand, is a whole different ball game. Wabona there, letting go isn't my thing but then relationships are not bias. It's a tango and once the partner wants to dance another dance then that's when I know it's time to release. In essence I suppose there is no one solid rule that can be applied to every situation when letting go is an option. There are variables and situations and often people to consider. Although I suppose if there is one thing to consider, it's "what are the consequences of letting go?" Knowing that will give one an idea of whether it is worth it or not to keep going.
That's the thing...sometimes we dont actually know what the conseqeunces of letting go are or could be. That's trips me up sometimes...i really like how "letting go" comes easy for you in other situations...that's so dope. The idea that no direction should make it easy to start something else is pretty refreshing hmmm

Thank you so much for that Colossians reference ♥️
So I’m loving this series because I identify 110%!!!!
Oh I am so glad you are♥️ sorry for such a delayed response. I havent been getting notifications

Me too!! so glad im not the only one! These days I even warn Blaque that an ugly cry might be coming in a few days and he must not freak out. Its a way of life😂
I feel you Fii
I cry alot too shem. Being a creative is work, and it takes out so much. I've often asked myself is still worth it, should I shut down my company, should I find something more sustainable. Lol it's hectic
Sorry for such a late response. Lissssten!! I feel you deeply... I wish I could give you the answer 😭
Letting go instead of giving up sounds more socially acceptable. I cry a lot too lol
Giving sounds like u were a better person lol!!
Me is the opposite. Me i leave. I let go. I give up. Whatever it is called. I walk away😂😂😂😂😂that's my natural response. The difficulty comes when I have to stay. For me is "should I stay here" that's difficult and challenging for me. Otherwise, am Johnny walker 🕴
Wow. This series.❤🙌🏽
Thank you!!!
Grey areas make me know that it’s not worth holding on to.
The thing is when the moment comes you feel like letting them go is not even Christlike lol...dealing with that is so tough hey😅
I’m also a gut person...intuition. But then I ignore it😂😂😂 what’s next? Which friendship now? Now I have to learn what someone else likes and dislikes Yho this is so true😭
I dunno hey but when it comes to friendship I have learned its okay to let some of them go...I mean in the way of not forcing a friendship you know?
Lilly Million I totally agree!
I do. I still yah gurl lol.
