Letting Go: Trading Your Plans for God’s Purpose

  1. Thank you for sharing this…I am in the process of going through things as I prepare to move. I understand the process and appreciate knowing that is just what it is; one process in the journey of grief (all types).

      Dr. Peggie, thank you for sharing this. Moving and sorting through things can be such an emotional process, and grief can show up in many forms along the way. I’m glad this resonated with you and offered some encouragement as you navigate your own process. Be gentle with yourself as you navigate this season—I’m praying for peace and strength as you move forward, one step at a time.

        Thank you for sharing your journey. This definitely resonated with my spirit as I am still trying to navigate the passing of my mother almost 3 years ago. It took me over a year to go through her belongings. I had people tell me to “get rid” of her things immediately after her passing and in
        their words, “move on”. I was angered at the outrage of people who still had their mother telling me to “get over” losing mine. If it had not been for God I don’t know where I’d be! Your transparency is inspiring and I appreciate (need) it.

          Cinda,
          Thank you for taking the time to comment. I am so moved by your words and having experienced the loss of a parent, I have experienced anger during this journey as well. I will never say I know how you feel, but I do know that people can be very insensitive when it comes to people who are grieving. You have encouraged me to keep sharing, because there a times when I have doubts about putting my words out before others. God has used you to encourage my heart and I am so grateful. I will keep you in my prayers as God continues to give you the strength you need to keep moving forward!
