Letting go

I am not sure if this is just hormones or what, but I found myself grappling with an issue of letting go.

Intellectually, this brain knows that in order to make room for something new, you have to let go of something old. Like, when you buy a new dress; you are supposed to let go of an old piece. That way, you will always have room in your closet.

Intellectually, you understand this concept. In makes perfect sense. But emotionally, now that is a different story. This post is not about letting go of an old dress, though.

It is about something else.

It is about letting go of something you held on to for more than 8 years. You associate your identity with it. Without which, you have no idea how to define yourself.

So... How do we let go, emotionally?

Found some nice quotes and sayings from (ya, ya.. where else?.. From the land of all things positive and nurturing).. Pinterest!

(Ouch! A big thump on my forehead)
 

(There is a fine line between perseverance and clinging on to something dead)


(This I find, the hardest to accept.. That there are things, that cannot be;  even after  you have spent more than 8 years of your life trying to make it work)

(Yes, the  negative emotions do formed some form of bondage on my spirit)
 


 
 
(Ok, working on this... )

"Granted!"

I received the long awaited email bearing good news today!

Oh my.. Unbelievable.! I am speechless.. It has been quite a journey. The planting of this dream started in October 2010.

We have tried to find ways to reach it. But two doors closed on us.

I had to learn to 'Be still' and let God do His thing.. I was not even sure if He was in on it with me.

It was totally unexpected that we came across the right person who could help us, in April 2011. That was a little opening to get one foot into the doorway. Even then, we had to wait until July 2011 to officially embark on this process.

And today, 12 October 2012; it is granted!

{Thank you, Father God.. }
