			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My friend Heather posted this a while back on her MySpace blog, and when I re-read it today, it really resonated with me. And I wanted to save it in some small way, so I posted it here. (It has a lot of God references in it, and if you are a believer, or not, its still powerful.)</p>
<p><span id="more-191"></span><br />
<b> Let It Go </b><br />
<em>By T. D. Jakes</em><br />
There are people who can walk away from you.</p>
<p>And hear me when I tell you this! When people can walk away from you: let them walk. I don&#8217;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.</p>
<p>When people can walk away from you let them walk. Your destiny is never tied to anybody that left.</p>
<p>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]</p>
<p>People leave you because they are not joined to you. And if they are not joined to you, you can&#8217;t make them stay.</p>
<p>Let them go.</p>
<p>And it doesn&#8217;t mean that they are a bad person it just means that their part in the story is over. And you&#8217;ve got to know when people&#8217;s part in your Story is over so that you don&#8217;t keep trying to raise the dead. </p>
<p>You&#8217;ve got to know when it&#8217;s dead.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ve got to know when it&#8217;s over. Let me tell you something. I&#8217;ve got the Gift of good-bye. It&#8217;s the tenth spiritual gift, I believe in good-bye.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not that I&#8217;m hateful; it&#8217;s that I&#8217;m faithful, and I know whatever God Means for me to have He&#8217;ll give it to me.</p>
<p>Let them go!!</p>
<p>If you are holding on to something that doesn&#8217;t belong to you and was</p>
<p>Never intended for your life, then you need to&#8230;&#8230;</p>
<p>LET IT GO!!!</p>
<p>If you are holding on to past hurts and pains&#8230;&#8230;</p>
<p>LET IT GO!!!</p>
<p>If someone can&#8217;t treat you right, love you back, and See your worth&#8230;..</p>
<p>LET IT GO!!!</p>
<p>If someone has angered you&#8230;</p>
<p>LET IT GO!!!</p>
<p>If you are holding on to some thoughts of evil and revenge&#8230;&#8230;</p>
<p>LET IT GO!!!</p>
<p>If you are involved in a wrong relationship or addiction&#8230;&#8230;</p>
<p>LET IT GO!!!</p>
<p>If you are holding on to a job that no longer meets your needs or talents</p>
<p>LET IT GO!!!</p>
<p>If you have a bad attitude&#8230;&#8230;.</p>
<p>LET IT GO!!!</p>
<p>If you keep judging others to make yourself feel better&#8230;&#8230;</p>
<p>LET IT GO!!!</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re stuck in the past and God is trying to take you to a new level in Him&#8230;&#8230;</p>
<p>LET IT GO!!!</p>
<p>If you are struggling with the healing of a broken relationship&#8230;&#8230;</p>
<p>LET IT GO!!!</p>
<p>If you keep trying to help someone who won&#8217;t even try to help themselves&#8230;.</p>
<p>LET IT GO!!!</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re feeling depressed and stressed&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;</p>
<p>LET IT GO!!!</p>
<p>If there is a particular situation that you are so used to handling yourself and God is saying &#8220;take your hands off of it,&#8221; then you need to&#8230;..</p>
<p>LET IT GO!!!</p>
<p>Let the past be the past. Forget the former things. GOD is doing a new thing for 2007!!!</p>
<p>LET IT GO!!!</p>
<p>Get Right or Get Left.. Think about it, and then,</p>
<p>LET IT GO!!!</p>
<p>&#8220;The Battle is the Lord&#8217;s!&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was told the other day that I was being snarky. Now, I know I&#8217;m a sarcastic person (yes, I just heard you all roll your eyes out there and say &#8220;No, really&#8230;&#8221;) but I never thought of myself as <i>snarky</i>. </p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the definition of snarky:<br />
A colloquialism meaning short-tempered or snappish.</p>
<p>After getting that definition, it reinforced my desire to essentially be a better person. I don&#8217;t want to be seen as short-tempered or snappy &#8211; even when sometimes people deserve it. (Darn it, there I go again!)<br />
Here&#8217;s to nicer posts, coming soon. (Either that, or all my <i>snarkiness</i> is going to show up here&#8230; not sure which yet. <img src='http://trashflower.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Consider this about an 8 hour work day:</p>
<p><em>You spend about 4 hours in listening activities;<br />You hear about 2 hours worth;<br />You actually listen to an hour&#8217;s worth;<br />You understand 30 minutes of that hour;<br />You believe only 15 minutes&#8217; worth; and<br />You remember just under 8 minute&#8217;s worth.<br /></em><br />Crazy, I know&#8230; and when I actually start thinking about it, I believe that to be true. Over the last few days, I&#8217;ve had the opportunity to just talk more with a few of my co-workers. Some of this is because of the slower time of year, and some is because we were saying our goodbyes as I transitioned away from the division I&#8217;ve been working in for the last 2 years. I am starting to wonder how much I will remember. Based on the above calculation &#8211; you actually only remember 3% of what you &#8220;listen&#8221; to.  That mean&#8217;s I&#8217;ll only remember ~22 days worth of what I&#8217;ve done.</p>
<p>In 2007, I hope to listen more &#8211; pay attention more. I want to be quieter to understand more. I think we could all use a few more people listening, and society could use a little less noise.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sometimes I really think I need to learn when to quit. Now, for example would be a good time. Not my job or anything drastic like that &#8211; but probably the drugs. (Just kidding &#8211; for those of you who know me, you&#8217;ll know that drugs aren&#8217;t something I do.) </p>
<p>Despite the fact that I am overwhelmed with and unable to keep up with my current job, I&#8217;ve taken on the responsibilities to help with marketing a struggling club in the northern Colorado area. I&#8217;m not sure if the guy who bought the club wants me to market it because he thinks I&#8217;ll be good at it, or because he just wants to hang out with me. Either way, its going to be an interesting opportunity and challenge.</p>
<p>And on the guy front &#8211; since that seems to be what these posts always come back to&#8230; yeah. I should quit trying with them too.</p>
