The Blessings and the Lessons

Let go, let God, and let it be. There is no better
way to live than by those three simple rules.


Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved by him, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly explaining the word of truth.
-2 TIMOTHY 2:15


Everyone always tells us to let go of the past, to take the lessons of yesterday and learn from them today. It is hard to do, letting go of the past, because in many ways we have unfinished and unresolved issues that still tug at out hearts and haunt our minds. But as long as we understand that it all happened for a reason, as part of God's bigger plan, we can more easily let go of the regrets and "what ifs" and "should haves" and come to a peaceful acceptance of what is. Then we can move on from there, equipped with the lessons and knowledge and wisdom that come from experiencing both the good and the bad.
