Letting go can be one of the hardest things you will ever do. I remember it was November 24, 2009. I was sitting on the couch in Spencer, WV. My grams had been sick for a long time, we all new the days were clicking off. She was an amazing woman of God. It was about 8:20 pm, my phone rang; it was my mom. She called to tell me that my “Grams” had passed away. I cried for days. I was so angry and mad at God for taking her away.
My grams and I had the most unique bond. We were two peas in a pod. I lived with her for almost 6 years right out of high school. If it wasn’t for her I would have never went to college, but she had always told me she never had the opportunity and she was living her dream through me. She always gave me the confidence I need to march on. She always encouraged me to DREAM BIG!! To always keep God in the center of my life and anything would be possible, because everything is possible with Christ.
When my grams went home to be with the Lord. I guess for months I was just lost. I still to this day remember her home phone number. I remember the taste of her spaghetti, the small of her pumpkin pies, the taste of her pork chops, her laughter, I can see her smile, when I look in the mirror I see my grams in me. I see that God placed her kind and sweet spirit that she had in me. She never met a stranger. She was a prayer warrior. I often wonder where I would be in life if my “Grams” hadn’t of planted a seed in me.
You see there comes a time in life when it is our time to go. November 24, 2009, was when Jesus came and took her home to be with him. I had to come to the realization that I had to let her go, but even though I let her go and she is no longer here, I will always have the memories of her.
In order to grow in Christ, sometimes we have to “Let GO” we have to let go of the things in life that weigh us down, bring hurt, sometimes you have to take out the bad people in your life, and start fresh. God has great things for us, but he doesn’t want us to hold on to the baggage. He wants us to “Let Go!!” He wants all of us, not just part of us.
If there is something that is weighing you down and stopping you from surrendering to Gods call, I pray that you will “Let Go” God can take away all your pain, hurt, fears. He can restore you with good memories, and take away all of the hurtful memories. I am so blessed that I have the memories of my “Grams” I hope that one day I can be the example that she was to me for someone else.
Be Blessed!!
