GIVE UP!!!
Now I know this title may have you a bit confused but hold on, I promise I am taking you somewhere with this. Allow me to be candid and maybe show you a side of Patrice that you are not familiar with. Allow me to introduce you to the imperfect creature God created for and with purpose.
Hi my name is Patrice I like new things at times I can be an emotional shopper, I love God but I curse, at times like a sailor... I am a pack rat and sometimes I don't pay my bills on time however they always get paid. I have anxiety I worry about everything all the time..... I may be a bit of a perfectionist yet the queen of procrastination ...I always date the wrong men for me ( fix it Jesus) I hate to feel like I'm failing so I hold on to people, places and things longer than I should. There it all is.... because I GIVE UP!!
There is something so freeing about the truth. I GIVE UP! I say that to say, you should give up to... The only manual we have to this thing called life is the bible. We are human flawed creatures yet beautiful because he created us in the likeness of his image. You should give up your idea of what you think your life should be... Let God have control let him govern you.
Give up on peoples opinions and ideology concerning who they think and feel you should be. Be who Christ compels you to be and by all means be happy! Life ain't no crystal stare, honey and it is always throwing you curve balls. Know that it is OK to fail and not do everything perfect, I believe it is all a part of the process.
Give up but not on your dreams, but give up on what you thought the path or route to get there would look like. It is OK! I promise you it is!
Love ... Peace and the light of his Grace

You are so right life is no crystal staircase sometimes its not even a crystal light okay! Lol but one thing is true God's Grace is always sufficient! I tell my husband that some of the best advice I ever received was from you and you told me, "Sometimes what you like doesn't like you" And by like it does not mean that it is not attracted to you, it does not come together easy for you, or it is not fully accessible but it does mean that it may not be according to God's plan for you or what is best for you! Thanks for being so open and honest and I hope this blesses someone who needed to hear that! And that it blesses you to be able to share your truth

This makes perfect sense! I had to learn to GIVE UP and still learning. Life brings situations that you try to figure out and forget about God! I pray that your give ups make things happen seamlessly going forward! As I pray for you please pray for me!!!

As usual, you didn't disappoint me with this post! We are all flawed beings, and the best part about it is, your flaws are what draws you near HIM. I appreciate the honesty and transparency in this post, and I learned that we are very similar on a lot of things, lol! I agree with giving up on concrete life plans; in my experience, it just doesn't work that way.

I need to learn how to give up on a few things.
ReplyDeleteTrust me I understand it is a lot easier said than done
DeleteI can relate to this. I have dealt with depression, dating the wrong men. I thought, I was not going to be happy, find love or have children. Then I gave it up, focused on myself and dreams. I have a great support system and appreciate them. Thank you for this post.
