Sitting out here again
alone with my thoughts
and i think of how there are
situations that come into our lives
to mistreat us or hurt us
or distract or divert us
and we just stand there and
allow it for misguided reasons
" it's what we're supposed to do"
" maybe they'll change"
" maybe i can change them"
" i don't like confrontation"
" i don't know what to do about it"
" i have a hard time saying 'NO'"
and we know it's wrong
but we're not wired for " no"
but then one day
we realize that those situations
are sent to test us
stretch us to see our limits
bend us to find our breaking point
but as they breach our peace and purpose
they're giving us teaching moments
on discernment
on guarding our hearts
on creating boundaries
on wishing them well
as we wave good-bye
on wiping their dust
off of our sandals
taking back our peace and purpose
and yeah, it feels good to
let go and let God.
