Letting Go & Letting God

The other day Micah, a friend of ours and I were standing together talking and catching up on things with each other, smiling and laughing.  It was relaxed.  I stood there and noticed how much Micah and I are friends.  There was no tension standing there like that.  It was nice.  Micah and I have always been able to be friends, even off and on through the years.  I want to hold on to that and not lose that.

I went over to him later that day and said "I'm sorry things haven't worked out the way we wanted them to.  I want to have peace between us and no more ugliness and negative stuff between us.  I still don't want what is going on between us but I will continue to move forward as they are right now.  If you want to pursue a divorce I won't fight you on it.  I will just need you to help me as much as you can please.  If you change your mind with how you feel about us I'm here. I love you"  We hugged and kissed and he said he was sorry and then we parted ways and he went into the house and I went into the house next door.

I went back in and took several deep breaths and let a few tears fall and then I said a prayer.  It was hard to do but it felt like the right thing to do and it was amazing how the tension left.  I can love him from a distance and let God work in our lives.

I also sent him an email expressing how much I have value our friendship and that I don't want to lose that part of us.

Since then I have felt like a huge weight has been lifted off of my shoulders.  It still hurts and is not easy at times but I know God is working in our lives and that good will come out of all this, He has a plan.


“Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.” (Proverbs 3:5-6)



I found the prayer below, expressing it so well....

LET GO, AND LET GOD

Today I let go and I let God
Take charge of this life of mine.
Now in the dark corners of my soul,
His light is beginning to shine
All of the cares and worries that
I have carried around so long
He has lifted them from my shoulders,
and filled my heart with love.
Problems that were overwhelming
suddenly seem very small,
and come what may, starting today,
I know I can handle them all.
