Quote From: marcia52There are things we can control and others we can't ... I had a hard time accepting this truth. You can't control your family or your ex so allow it to go the way it will.
I used to write down on a piece of paper all the things that were going on in my life ... I drew a big circle with the date in the middle and then little bubbles with all the stuff. Then I sat down and asked myself will these be in my life in 6 weeks? 6 months? And if so, how?
Then I would give it to god ... I knew that I couldn't / wouldn't know how any of these things would go because they were out of my control. I knew that I could handle anything because it was in my life and God never gives me nothing I can't handle. Sometimes, it feels like it's killing me -- however, I realize now it was just my own fears running amok in my head and I can control my feelings, actions, and thoughts.
So when I gave it to god, I then posted notes everywhere so that I could remember I had given it to God and that when it was over it would be over.
Does this help?
Yes; This does help.
I am going to do try what you suggest. I will have to just accept what happens.
Give it to God. I used to do that many years ago but need to get back into that again.
I am once again exploring my spirituality which I love. Need to do that some more.
In the past when I let go and gave to God things worked out.
Yes; sometimes it does feel like its killing me. So much emotional pain.
Thanks Again
