Letting Go

Author Dana Redricks 
December 15, 2024


I'm letting go of the chains, unbinding me, releasing whispers cloaked in false friendships.  Rising above sinking ships and harmful words that cross hateful lips like sinking ships. I choose the path where my spirit is free, there may be days where I might feel lonely, but sometimes that is what's best for me. In the wilderness God molds and shapes me into the person I'm meant to be. No more shadows of what pretends to be.  

I've carved out my path with courage and fierceness, embracing whispers of dreams that pierce. In the garden of growth where new seeds sow, if it doesn't help me bloom, then God help me to  let it go.  

The winds may shift, the tides may sway, yet in my heart, I've found my way. With each step forward, I clearly see what God has in store for me,  
I cherish what truly nourishes me.  

As I lean on the promises that God has for me, here I stand. I am finally free now I see clearly. Soaring high above this earth below letting go of all the things that hinders me. I'm letting go, I can finally fly as I hold my head up looking towards the sky.
