As I lay here on yet another sleepless night two things come to mind...two questions really...where is my so-called happily ever after and why is it taking so long...as I pondered these question I'm taken back to a conversation a friend of mine and I recently had. The short version of it boiled down to 3 simple things...
1. In order to get past the past you have to let it go
2. You can't be forgiven until you forgive
3. Forgiveness is for YOU not the other person
Honestly, there was more I got out of that conversation, but those 3 things, especially number 3, were the most important. I brought up that conversation and my thoughts because they go hand in hand.
There are some people and some situations that really have me stuck in a bad place. There is one situation and person that kind of caused a snowball effect in my life. Forgiving this one person and letting go of this one situation can and probably will bring me some mind blowing freedom....but...forgiveness is a hard pill to swallow for some people and situations.
Kevin LeVar has a song called "A Heart That Forgives"...that has been and will continue to be my prayer...I'm not there yet but I'm woman enough to admit it. As Kevin says "God I wanna let it go... I gotta let it go..."... I'm hoping one day soon I can swallow this pill and move on because there is so much tied to this...
Until next time,
Love...Peace...&...Poetry
