Lessons On Letting Go
September 2, 2010
And what a lesson it has been. So for an update from one of my earlier posts, there will be new changes for the area I am living. I will no longer be doing any of the caretaking duties. It has been very hard to except. But do to the fact an other has made a mess of things, things are going to just be different in a good way. To this end I have prayed all along and shame on me for not liking how God allowed it to unfold.
I am releived to know that this change has nothing to do with me personally, for my job was done to the best of my ability, under the difficult circumstances.
I will miss very much the careing of the grounds aspect of it, Planting flowers and so forth. In this I am still praying and am going to ask if it is at all possible for me to continue. This was and is the part that has me very sad. But time will tell and how ever God allows it to be I need to be ok with it.
I know He has a plan for me and does not want me to be so miserable. And He will not let me be to the point of not being able to bear it. I beleive He will make a way where there seems to be no way.
So that is the update, in a way I am excited to have a break and not worry about getting all the work done at any given time. I am free to do my own thing.
Hi Liz,
Yes, I too, feel sad about this outcome — but very thoughtful about what God has in store….. We know for sure God is good and loves us so much that Jesus died for us….. We also are assurred that God cares for our every need.
Over twenty years ago we were in a situation that could be comopared to yours…. We were heartbroken for awhile — and then gradually discovered how God had much better things for us — blessings we never could have imagined….. Yes, in this time frame there are new challenges of all sorts, but we can see how God’s way is better….. I’m sure there are some new ventures and blessings coming your way….. Let us give thanks and trust in our Lord’s wisdom and love.

Thanks for the reminder that God`s way is better. I may not understand or agree with this but in the end I want God`s way not man`s.
Thanks for stopping by and following my blog! I also stopped by your photography blog and you have some excellent photography! ~ God will be with you. Trust Him.
Thanks Stephani and thanks for the encouraging words.
Hi Liz,
It’s been a while since I’ve been on your blog (and others) — even neglected mine. Anyway, even though we can’t see the forest from the trees sometimes, when we finally do, we wonder what on earth was our problem. I know because right now, I’m in the same boat as you.
I agree with you, He will not allow you to get to the point of not being able to bare it. He is with you always. That sure is a comfort to know that He is always with us.
Thank you for following my blog too, Liz
Walking through tough and sad times is not fun, yet, it is wonderful that we can worship every step of the way….and nothing ever happens by accident
Ever.
May you have great joy in following where Almighty God leads, for He loves you SO much!
Blessings
