Hello to all......well if you are wondering why a guy is posting on this section go to the "i'm sorry" forum and read. Please read all of it before you comment.
This is for all of you ladies who are dealing with so much right now. My mom gave this to me and it has helped so much in what i'm going through. This is part of a sermon by T.D. Jakes
There are people who can walk away from you.
And hear me when I tell you this! When people can walk away from you: let them walk. I don't want you to try to talk another person into staying with you, loving you, calling you, caring about you, coming to see you, staying attached to you. I mean hang up the phone. When people can walk away from you let them walk. Your destiny is never tied to anybody that left. The bible said that, they came out from us that it might be made manifest that they were not for
us. For had they been of us, no doubt they would have continued with us. [1 John 2:19] People leave you because they are not joined to you. And if they are not joined to you, you can't make them stay. Let them go. And it doesn't mean that they are a bad person it just means that their part in the story is over. And you've got to know when people's part in your story is over so that you don't keep trying to raise the dead. You've got to know when it's dead. You've got to know when it's over. Let me tell you something. I've got the gift of good-bye. It's the tenth spiritual gift, I believe in good-bye. It's not that I'm hateful, it's that I'm faithful, and I know whatever God means for me to have He'll give it to me. And if it takes too much sweat I don't need it. Stop begging people to stay.
Let them go!! If you are holding on to something that doesn't belong to you and was never intended for your life,
then you need to......LET IT GO!!! If you are holding on to past hurts and pains ......LET IT GO!!! If someone can't treat you right, love you back, and see your worth.....LET IT GO!!! If someone has angered you ........LET IT GO!!! If you are holding on to some thoughts of evil and revenge......
LET IT GO!!! If you are involved in a wrong relationship or addiction......LET IT GO!!! If you are holding on to a job that no longer meets your needs or talents LET IT GO!!! If you! u have a bad att_tude.......LET IT GO!!! If you keep judging others to make yourself feel better......
LET IT GO!!! If you're stuck in the past and God is trying to take you to a new level in Him......LET IT GO!!! If you are struggling with the healing of a broken relationship.......LET IT GO!!! If you keep trying to help someone who won't even try to help themselves......LET IT GO!!! If you're feeling depressed and stressed .........LET IT GO!!! If there is a particular situation that you are so used to handling yourself and God is saying "take your hands off of it," then you need to......LET IT GO!!! Let the past be the past. Forget the former things. GOD is doing a new thing NOW !!! LET IT GO!!! Get Right or Get Left . think about it, and then .LET IT GO!!!
I know this doesn't provide any real answers but there is a whole lot of truth to this. Hope it helps i wish you all the best in what you go through.

E-rock does this mean you are giving up hope on you and your ex getting back together?

also I want to ask if your ghost lets you go until you walk away and then he turns and begs for you back but wont change should you still walk away? Should you let him play this game with his child? or should you walk away before your child is here?

Well hello to all, I love TD Jakes as well, he is very gifted. "Kiersten"- I'm really busy right so I'm going to have to take a rain check at least for the weekend. "mommybabyboy21"- No I'm not giving up on my ex and i getting back together. But it is helpful to me that if it wasn't meant to be then i can only imagine the person God has in-store for me. It is my belief that if they are not willing to change, or have any sign of not getting better then, let them go but with love not anger. And if he doesn't change it stands to question weather or not he actually loved you or your child.

Hey E-rock, how's it going? Have you been busy with mid-terms this week? How's everything with your g/f? Are things still the same? Ummm... don't have too much to say. Just thought I'd touch base and say hi. Have a good weekend!

*Kiersten*- well sadly b/c of the school i go to, i had to go before an ethics committee and they kicked me out of school for this semester. 1. Yes as a form of punishment and 2. so that i could have some time before the baby gets here to plan. Well i got a raise at my job that i work at night but with this raise came more responseablity so I come home a lot more worn out than i used to. Also I start my baby cla__ses here within the next 2 weeks. I've been having to do some saving because i'm trying to send my ex money via my lawyer to hers so that when i go to court they can't say that i did not try to help out. But i did get my refund check from taxes that i'm mostly going to send that to her. But other than that i'm good slowly getting a little better with how things have played out. Well i must be off but i promise we will finish that discussion.
-Eric-

Eric, sounds like you're keeping busy! Sorry about school, but that's how things are, I guess. My life is NUTS right now. Just got two more boys in my daycare that like to be held all day, so I've been feeling like a snot bucket all week! :) Hope to hear from you soon. I'll probably be on tomorrow around 1:00. TTYL

Hey, will you be able to go back to school next sem? How old are you anyway? I looked back through a couple posts and couldn't find it......? I haven't read the old thread in a while and just looked at it. What's up with pinkbo0tlace? Did you say something to her on another thread or something?! :) I wouldn't even mess with her. There's a whole mess going on with 3 different "pink"s. So, am I supposed to call you "Eric" or "E-rock" now? I wish I came up with a cool user name when I first started. I just kind of came across it and had a question to ask, but I never really thought that I'd still be here! lol

*Kiersten*-I'm officially allowed back at my school in may for a couple of summer courses and then i only have one year left to go. I am currently 22 and I will be 23 in July. No I haven't said anything to pinkbootlace but it's petty drama I don't really care to deal with. You can call me either name. I go by both. E-rock is my nick name since i was a freshman in highschool so i don't know exactly how cool of a nickname it really is.

*E-rock* Hey, you're my husband's age! So, I don't think I've ever asked...what does your family think about all this? Maybe you wrote that somewhere else and I just missed it. How many credits will you take this summer? Uggh! Pray for us! I'm getting frustrated ALREADY with ttc and we've only been trying since January! It's just hard because all of our family is in New York and we're down in Florida. We see our family at Christmas and (probably) once in the summer. I just keep thinking; ok, if we get pregnant now our baby will be born in December. We would be able to take him/her up over Christmas so that everyone could see! Otherwise, our babe will be born later and our families probably wouldn't see them for months. :( It's hard not seeing our families, but not as hard as thinking about them never seeing their grandchild! I don't know. I think I'm just getting stressed over nothing. Whew! So, how are ya? How are your (ex?) g/f and the baby doing? Sorry for rambling. ttyl

*Kiersten*- My family is really really supportive, not only do they care about me but they also want the best for my ex. My mom and grandmother are really really excited since it's my parents first grandchild they are a little aprehinsive b/c of how this is all going down. But they are amazing people and are going to make great grandparents. Plus if i'm allowed to be at the birth hopefully 3/4 of my family is going to be there as well. I'm going to be taking at least 6 hours this summer. I have no idea how my ex and the baby are doing I their lawyer won't give us any information. And frankly i'm a little annoyed with how immature this all is. Court is no place to decided the future for a child.

Hey E-rock. Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. Our computer had a nervous breakdown Wednesday so I couldn't do anything until my hubby fixed it. Things are going ok with me. Very stressful and busy right now which is another reason why I'm just now writing. I feel like I'm worrying too much about ttc and checking this site everyday. So, I decided to stop. I might come back now and then to see how you're doing, or when I do get pregnant, but I just feel like I need to spend my time doing other things. I'm sorry for making such a big deal out of "our discussion" and for carrying on for so long. I'm sure you have better things to do than listen to me preach at you! :) I will miss our talks, and I'm sorry for writing this over the forum, but I don't think we should e-mail. Not that what we've talked about was wrong, but carrying on would just seem...I don't know. Weird and wrong. I'm very happily married and am ready to quit worrying about when things will happen and just live my life. I know this letter's probably a surprise, and you can blame some of it on hormones (lol), but I just wanted to let you know that I'm signing off and closing my account. Keep this thread updated because I'll check in at some point and I'll want to know how you're doing! I pray that you continue to be in the Word of God and that you grow closer and closer to Him. Seriously Eric, grab a KJV and that book I recommended and you'll know what I believe! Let God work in your heart and mold you into what He wants you to be. Get in the Word every day and always always ALWAYS remember to pray! I've been challenged lately to spend more time in the Bible and in prayer. That's part of the reason that I'm leaving. I'm not giving God my all right now and I need to put Him first. I just feel...different. God's really gotten a hold of my heart the past couple days and I am so excited! I will keep you in my prayers and be thinking of you. Please live the change you've talked of and have an amazing walk with the Lord! Don't just "let it go!", give it to God! Let Him carry all your burdens! Blessings on you Eric!
Your Cyber Buddy and Sister in Christ,
Kiersten
