Hey Everyone,
I guess I can start it off by saying that this Letting Go process hasn't been the easiest for me. But I wanna share my story and what I'm letting go of at this time in my life.
I'm letting go of the spirit of fear period. Fear of bad news, fear of the unknown........stuff like that. Sometimes when I get a phone call and someone on the other line says "Guess What?" I automatically get nervous and think it's something bad. Fear works all the way round but that's one example of how fear effects me. I know I have to apply the word in that area constantly.
I'm letting go of mistrust. I don't trust a lot of people. It stems from past hurts and broken relationships. I've been molested more than once and I've been betrayed by close friends so a lot of times it interferes with my relationships because I have a guard up where you can only go so far.....That's not good because God puts people in your life for a reason. But avoidance and putting up that guard with certain people can hinder how God blesses you through these people. Don't get me wrong you can't trust everybody and open up your heart to everybody. But you can hinder your blessing through the people God sends into your life when you don't allow them to do what they were put in your life to do.
I'm also letting go of procrastination. I procrastinate a lot and that keeps me from getting things done when I desire. The plan God has for my life and what it takes to get there does not include putting things off over and over again. It takes consistency, hard work, and sacrifice. So I have to let go of that "just enough to get by" mentality.This is a process for me and some days are easier than others. God continually shows me what I need to work on. It doesn't feel good and the flesh wants to rise up when God puts a mirror in front of you and shows you that you're mean or you're insecure or you're lazy and all these things are holding you back from what and where you could be.
So this is my story and these are a few things that are a part of my letting go process. I hope that this can help you in some kind of way. That's why this LETTING GO MOVEMENT means so much to me. I'd love to hear your story too. Remember you'll, we're letting go together.
Sincerely,
Shei Atkins
Thanks for sharing your story. I think this "Letting Go Movement" is paramount for me at this time in my life. I’m at a point where I must let go of the past in order to totally receive the things that are promised to me. Letting go will allow me have a clear conscience which permits blessings and other things that were hindered in the past to be released. I too can identify with some things you’ve experienced or are experiencing in life. These issues have created lack of confidence and I must let it all go for good.
ReplyDeleteI’ve mostly dealt with a fear of the unknown. Not knowing where I’ll be if I totally let go and trust God will ALL. It’s like you know that God wants the best for you but you also know that you will have to go through something while on this journey. There’s also a fear of not knowing how people will react or if they’ll accept me if I walk in the calling God’s placed on my life. I was called as a leader in my church at a young age and I felt a lot of the older people resistance because of my age. This caused me to just pull back and also caused rejection to creep up. God has not given us the spirit of fear but of power, love and a sound mind.. I try to keep that in mind and realize that there will be naysayer’s when you’re doing what God wants you to do.
I also seem to sabotage myself and my events due to not believing I can complete them. I seem to also sabotage things when I feel I won’t get the support needed.
These are a few things I’ve dealt with. I too must continue speaking the word over these things in order to see change.
Thanks for sharing - I've had some of the same issues in the past so you're not alone. I recently read Battlefield of the mind by Joyce Meyer - those fears you were speaking of are similar to what she calls "evil forebodings". Her book really helped me learn to deal with all of these types of battles that go on in the mind.

God bless you sister. Thanks for sharing. I was doing some research on God's assignment for your life and came across your blogs, and so far, I have been blessed.
