Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

Let it go for 2008
by T. D. Jakes

There are people who can walk away from you. And hear me when I tell you this! When people can walk away from you: let them walk.

I don't want you to try to talk another person into staying with you, loving you, calling you, caring about you, coming to see you, staying attached to you. I mean hang up the phone.

When people can walk away from you let them walk. Your destiny is never tied to anybody that left. The Bible said that, they came out from us that it might be made manifest that they were not for us. For had they been of us, no doubt they would have continued with us. [1 John 2:19]

People leave you because they are not joined to you. And if they are not joined to you, you can't make them stay. Let them go. And it doesn't mean that they are a bad person it just means that their part in the story is over. And you've got to know when people's part in your story is over so that you don't keep trying to raise the dead. You've got to know when it's dead.

You've got to know when it's over. Let me tell you something. I've got the gift of good-bye. It's the tenth spiritual gift, I believe in good-bye. It's not that I'm hateful, it's that I'm faithful, and I know whatever God means for me to have He'll give it to me. And if it takes too much sweat I don't need it.

Stop begging people to stay. Let them go!! If you are holding on to something that doesn't belong to you and was never intended for your life, then you need to...LET IT GO!!!

*If you are holding on to past hurts and pains ...LET IT GO!!!

*If someone can't treat you right, love you back, and see your worth... LET IT GO!!!

*If someone has angered you ... LET IT GO!!!

*If you are holding on to some thoughts of evil and revenge .. LET IT GO!!!

*If you are involved in a wrong relationship or addiction ... LET IT GO!!!

*If you are holding on to a job that no longer meets your needs or talents ... LET IT GO!!!

*If you have a bad attitude... LET IT GO!!!

*If you keep judging others to make yourself feel better... LET IT GO!!!

*If you're stuck in the past and God is trying to take you to a new level in Him... LET IT GO!!!

*If you are struggling with the healing of a broken relationship.... LET IT GO!!!

*If you keep trying to help someone who won't even try to help themselves... LET IT GO!!!

*If you're feeling depressed and stressed .... LET IT GO!!!

*If there is a particular situation that you are so used to handling yourself and God is saying 'take your hands off of it,' then you need to... LET IT GO!!!

Let the past be the past. Forget the former things. GOD is doing a new thing for 2008!!! LET IT GO!!!

Get Right or Get Left .. think about it, and then LET IT GO!!!

God loves you and watches over you every day. Fear grows out of the things we think; it lives in our minds. Compassion grows out of the things we are, and lives in our hearts.

May Peace and Blessings be yours today.

Hello Ladies,

Happy New Year. I had a great holiday/vacation. I am ready for 08, as my pastor said 07 was the end and 08 means new beginnings. I am ready for a new me.

Highfavored · 01-03-2008, 08:25 AM

I hope everyone had a great holiday and wish you all new beginnings in 08.

Pcola Girl · 01-03-2008, 11:07 AM

A New Year and a new beginning for us all.

Hi Mary!! Welcome to our humble abod!

I am totally in agreement w/ you!

LadyLove · 01-04-2008, 06:23 AM

Good Morning Girls !

Today my goal is to drink 96 oz. of water and to get my exercise in for the day (at least 45 min. of either treadmill or elliptical).

What's your goal for the day?

s1mon3 · 01-04-2008, 06:50 AM

Morning Gals!!

We are in for a heat wave!!! It is supposed to reach 50 degrees this weekend!!

I am about to throw on my bikini!!! NOT!

I wish I could though. But the weather will be kind of messy. Most of the snow we have accumulated in the last few weeks will be melting.

Hi Cynthia, my goal for the day is to make it through another day of strict induction. I also have to find us a new home.

Let make them happen!

LadyLove · 01-04-2008, 06:56 AM

Marlette.... girl we have a slight "heat wave" too but, that's gonna be over really soon because we are under a Winter Storm Advisory. It snowed so much while I was away for the Christmas holidays that - that snow is just now finally beginning to melt but, more is about to be on the way.

It's Day 2 for me too on Induction. Let's do it !!!!

You "house shopping" now... that can be a lot of FUN !!!!! best wishes on that.

Meekness29 · 01-04-2008, 07:29 AM

Morning Ladies!!!

Just checking in before I start my day here at work.

Praying we all reach the mark... !

s1mon3 · 01-04-2008, 07:32 AM

I know what you mean...the snow just took over while we were gone also! I will be glad to see some of it disappear!

House shooping can be fun, if you find what you are looking for. Check out this condo we visited yesterday...OFF DA CHAIN!

I wanted this one bad...but my husband believes it is too small. Plus it only has 1 full bathroom. I am used to having my own bathroom in my room, so that may not work. But waking up to the view of Lake Michigan, I could probably get over it! Throw all of those windows is the view of the lake!

s1mon3 · 01-04-2008, 07:33 AM

Hey Meek!

Thanks for the prayers!

LadyLove · 01-04-2008, 07:37 AM

Hey Marlette - can you repost the picture I can't seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Like the new avi though !

LadyLove · 01-04-2008, 07:38 AM

I see you are gonna have me to put up my "virtual hubby"....lol

LadyLove · 01-04-2008, 07:40 AM

Good Morning Meek !

Meekness29 · 01-04-2008, 07:41 AM

Good morning

s1mon3 · 01-04-2008, 07:41 AM

Yes, and I like him too...nice!

I am surprised you can't see them. There are 8 photos and they are all appearing on my screen...I will email them to you.

Meekness29 · 01-04-2008, 07:42 AM

Marlette, how far away from goal are you?

LadyLove · 01-04-2008, 07:44 AM

Now, I can see them - it's a Miracle !

Meekness29 · 01-04-2008, 07:44 AM

Marlette, I can finally see a few of the pics you posted. The condo is nice

LadyLove · 01-04-2008, 07:44 AM

I love ittttttttttttttt..... and the view is amazing.

LadyLove · 01-04-2008, 07:46 AM

Meek... you have pics of your new condo??? I wanna see?

I think I may move this year (I hate moving). I really want to move out of state though to DC and I have been looking at places but good lord the prices.

But, in the meantime I've been in this same spot since I moved to Denver in 1998.
