On yesterday I told you about a few things that I've learned to let go of in my new walk of life. Today I'd like to share with you a few things I've gained within this new walk and way of living.
Things I've Gained/Learned:
*A true sense of Peace
*A stronger and truer connection to God
*I am not in control
*I trust He who is in control
*Patience (I truly needed it)
*A soul deep kind of calm
*A stronger appreciation for the little things
*An even stronger connection to those in my life
*Being silent can be very helpful/healing
*This too shall pass (I now know this completely)
*Love of God, self and family is the only thing worth holding on to
*Appreciate every given moment
*Seek out like-minded people
*Simple living is freeing
*Be You (no matter the consequences)

That's a wonderful list, Tabby. Life is a lot sweeter without the stress and worry -- the UNNECESSARY kind, the kind that creeps into yr mind and just won't leave and isn't even there for a good reason!
ReplyDeleteI really like the "Simple living is freeing" remark there at the end of the list. HOW TRUE, and I think a lot of people, in the midst of all the economic breakdown, are surprised to find that it is so -- it IS freeing not to be consumed about consuming, having the biggest and best and most show-offie things!!!
Sometimes it's all about letting things go. I always want to control life - just doesn't work so well. I am always rethinking what I am grasping too tightly. Huge hugs to you hon!! Love, Sarah
ReplyDeletethis is my first time here. not sure why i haven't stumbled across this wonderful place before. i love, love, love your spirit. it is obvious how much you love the Lord and that your life is making a difference!!
ReplyDeletei'll be back for sure.
I love this - "the clarity of past mistakes" Absolutely wise and inspiring, as usual Tabby! Hugs!
ReplyDeletethat was such a beautiful post! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteLetting go and patience...once you have that mastered life is easy...lol!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this post, Tabitha. I wasn't quite ready to head to bed and felt God leading me right here to your words. They feel like a benediction. Thank you.
