Over the past few months a few things in my life has changed. My relationships and expectations of people have had a major shift.

I must admit that at first I wasn’t to keen about the changes.  I wanted things to be the way the had always been and wanted them to be.
These changes made me take a major look at me, my actions, my thoughts and my conversations.

Although some really close relationships I had have changed, I can finally say that I’m okay with that! In the beginning I fought the changes hard…I wasted so much time mulling over what happened, how it happened and if I should have did some things differently.

In the end, I’m at peace. I’m at peace b/c even though things ended in a way that I would have never imagined, I’m okay. I’m okay b/c I told the truth. I didn’t sugarcoat anything to make anyone else happy; I stood by my convictions. And although the truth might not have been desirable at the moment, it came from a place of love w/in me.
I’m at peace b/c I can remember a few months back the Holy Spirit whispering to my heart that it’s a new season…

I had a major release! I released myself and others from relationships that have been in existence for years.
I released myself from thinking on certain people and situations wondering what could have been.
I released myself and others from expectations. The expectations that come along with covenant relationships and lifelong friendships.

I had a release…of what used to be, what could have been to what is at this moment and what will be in the future.
Through my release, I’m open. I’m open to give, receive,encourage and maintain…Lord, my very heart is open to you.
