When I'm having difficulty sleeping, I sometimes go back and read the love letters that I've written myself over the last couple of years. This is one of the initial ones I wrote. For some strange reason, I feel a need to share it with you.
"Reality:
You sabotage yourself. You judge others. You're emotional. You eat foods that make you feel lethargic, tired, cranky. You worry about what others think. You're out of balance, you ache desperately for more time with your children. You miss your husband and wish for a conversation with him like you used to have - two friends laughing, loving, enjoying each other's presence.
Truth:
You are right where you are supposed to be. God is working in you and in others right now. Let it go.
You will have it. You will let it go, and one day you will have it. It will happen in God's time, not yours. You'll have the balance and energy you crave, the time and relationships you desire. You'll stop feeling shame over those areas of your life that you had no control over. You'll stop judging others for who they are as you begin to accept and love yourself for who you are. You'll be real, honest, and won't have to hide behind what you think that you should be.
Release it. God is asking you to stop clenching your hands around it and place it into his hands. Let it go. You are beautiful, you are loved, you are growing. Give him the burden."
