Letting go

This past year and a half for me has been all about God teaching to me let go and to really place everything in his hands. In a previous post I talked about my story and the disappointment I had when moving to Georgia since I was not  able to use my degree. Believe me it has been a true struggle but God has taught me it is totally possible and he does reward those who wait for his timing.

I've been working in my new job for about two and a half months. While it isn't my dream it does have a few perks.. but this isn't what this post is about! About a month ago I was approached by a lady who I respect not only for the person she is but also for her complete trust and faith in God. She wants me to help her dream come true! Which coincides with my dream!!!!! Funny how after only three months God has once again given me the hope of my dream coming true.

It was three months ago that I really let go of my dream and allowed God to place me where he needed me and I cannot believe how fast he has worked to bring someone in my life that not only can help me but I can also help her. Not only can I help her but my dream of teaching those with disabilities to ride is going to come true! I'm thrilled!

Not only has it been a year of placing my trust in God and letting go of control over my dream. It has also been a year of me learning to forgive and let go of the grudges. I started to wonder if God can forgive so many people including myself of their sins why is it that I cannot forgive the few who have hurt me. Isn't forgiveness at the root of being a Christian and showing love toward one another. Along with love comes forgiveness. Man was this a revelation in my life. I had people I needed to just forgive and move on; friends and family. It wasn't necessarily they had asked for it but because of the grace God has shown me. Following the example that Christ showed us so many years ago has really allowed me to be free of the grudges I held onto so tightly for many years. I wanted to be free of the anger because I knew deep down I loved and cared for these people.

I'm grateful for the lessons God has been teaching me this past year because I believe they make me a better person. God has never failed me so why should I not trust that he will show me the correct way of living my life.
