“You either give me weights or you give me wings” I went to
lunch the other day with a new friend. And she said those words to me in
reference to relationships. And ever since I literally cannot get it out of my
head.
I know it has been a while since I have written a blog, but I
haven’t been sure of what to say to anyone. Not only my followers, but even the
people close to my everyday life. I have run out of explanations for my actions
or behaviors. All I keep saying is, “I’m making choices and decisions that make
me happy.” That’s just it. Simple as that. I don’t feel the need to have to
answer to anyone anymore. I feel as if I am always trying desperately to
explain my every move to the people around me. It gets seriously exhausting.
Truth is the only person I owe any explanations to is God.
I have said numerous times over the past couple of weeks that
it is a glorious thing knowing that Jesus dude paid a very high price for me
and for you. What a blessing it is that we can cast all of our anxieties on
God. My faith has never been so strong. I will continue to carry myself through
life full of grace and forgiveness because that is what is asked of me. I
actually challenge all of you to think about the people you are holding hurt or
anger or pain towards. I’m not asking you to bring those people close or near
and dear to your hearts… but what I can tell you from experience is that 9
times out of 10 it hurts YOU more by holding on to that negativity. Giving way
to those grudges, letting go of that anguish and pain or heartbreak can be rejuvenating
in many ways. Talk about weights literally lifted from your shoulders.
It has been said to me that I
forgive too quickly. And that I let people back into my life who don’t deserve
to be there. Maybe that is in fact the truth, but it is not something I intend
on changing. It is so important to stay graceful. We all sin differently from
each other. I choose to not let other’s sins against me weigh down on my
shoulders. I have a passion for people and I hold them very near and dear to my
heart. I refuse to look at that as a weakness. I certainly need to keep more
aware of where people are allowed to be in my life, but by goly I just don’t
know how to stay mad.
In the meantime; you either give me
weights, or you give me wings. And I would love to have you flying along by my
side my friends.
As always, I’m here if you need me.
Hang on friends, this life is a rollercoaster ride.
“The
Lord is close to the brokenhearted & saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
–Psalm 34:18
