"I Am Learning, Lord"

 

 

My life has taken many falls
And tumbles 'long the way.
The many trials have left me
In a sure state of dismay.

For with each trial, I tried alone
To tend, and soothe, and mend,
Instead of giving them to God -
And on Him just depend ...
But, I am learning, Lord.

It seems that I was determined
To carry all the load.
I longed for smoother pathways.
Yet, I walked a rocky road.

Little did I understand,
God waited patiently
To pave a new beginning
With a better life for me.
But, I am learning, Lord.

It took a real disaster
To bring me to my knees;
To finally call upon the Lord
And say, "God help me, please."

He can, with no delaying,
With strong arms that could hold -
The weight of all my burdens;
He gladly took the load.
And, I am learning, Lord.

What a needless cross I carried,
All because I could not see -
What a friend I have in Jesus,
And the love He has for me.

Peace I find when troubles hover,
Though' the outcome is unknown.
For if yet the road is rocky,
I won't walk it all alone.
For, I am learning, Lord.

  "To Let Go"

 

    

 

  To "let go" does not mean to stop caring,
  It means I can't do it for someone else.

 

  To "let go" is not to cut myself off,
  It's the realization I can't control another.

 

  To "let go" is not to enable, but to allow
  learning from natural consequences.

 

  To "let go" is to admit powerlessness, which
  means the outcome is not in my hands.

 

  To "let go" is not to try to change or blame
  another, it's to make the most of myself.

 

  To "let go" is not care for, but to care about.

 

  To "let go" is not to fix, but to be supportive.

 

  To "let go" is not to judge, but to allow another
  to be a human being.

 

  To "let go" is not to be in the middle arranging all the outcomes,
  but to allow others to affect their own destinies.

 

  To "let go" is not to deny, but to accept.

 

 

Have a Blessed Day
