The hardest part of holding on is letting go...
I am finding this out as I am here at Head Quarters. God has brought life changing people into my life and and has also taken them away. I don't understand sometimes why He does it, but I know that if those people had not been brought into my life that I would not be who I am today. They each have invested something in my life that I never would have if they wouldn't have passed through my life. I thank God for each person that He has allowed me to have be my friend. The Lord gives and takes away, I will say blessed be the name of the Lord. It is hard and I may not feel like saying it all the time, but I still say it. Why? Because He knows better than I do, He knows the plans He has for me and they are for me to prosper-not to harm me. I need encouragement-lots of it. Please pray for me..pray for those who are leaving and that God will work through their lives wherever they are lead to go.
I know exactly what you mean, Libby! Thanks for an awesome post! I pray that as you gradually (or suddenly) "let go", that God will be there at your side...love ya! ~Amanda Panda
dear dear Libby. . .
I had no idea you had a blog! I was so excited to find it today :)
I would love to pray for you, as someone who has been "where you are" both physically and metaphoricaly speaking, I will cry out to God that you would find Him to be rich in grace and mercy as you turn to him for comfort.
May he continue to strengthen you as you seek Him with a whole heart. I love you girl and I miss you so much!
