Hey Beauty,

Is it just me, or is there something special about March? There's something about the fresh air, the soft breeze, and those little pink blossoms popping up on the trees that make me feel as if nature herself is whispering, "it's time for a fresh start". And girl, if trees can bloom again after a cold, dry winter SO CAN YOU! 

But let's be honest here - stepping into something new, means letting go of the old. Uh-oh! Now it's getting real, right? So many of us love to hold on to things we should have released three seasons ago - the relationship we know we should have walked away from, the guilt from past mistakes, the life we envisioned but never fulfilled. We hold on to these things like an oversized hoodie because they feel cozy, they feel safe, they feel familiar.

Babe, It's Time To Drop The Dead Leaves

Now, let's go back to the image of the trees in the winter. Frail. Bare. Empty. Lifeless. Vulnerable. Did the trees panic? No. Did it beg for the return of last season's leaves? Not a chance. It knew that in order to bloom again it had to let go of what no longer served it. 

God is asking the same thing of you. Isaiah 43:19 (NLT) says:

          "For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it?"

The verse right before it says: 

          "Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past."

Did you catch that? "Forget the former things." That means stop dwelling, stop repeating, stop living in the past, and stop questioning what God has already taken out of your life. The longer you hold on to the past, the less space you are making for all the new, beautiful things God is trying to bring to your life. 

Holding On To The Past? Here's Your Sign To Let Go

If you have been wondering whether it is time to release the pain, let go of the hurt, the relationship, the disappointment, or limiting belief the answer is: Yes, babe! You definitely should!

Not sure where to start, here, let me help you break it down:

1. Give Yourself Permission To Release It

You don't need closure from him, permission from them, or an explanation from the past. You have God's permission to let it go!

2. Stop Watering Dead Things

If a situation, relationship, or habit is draining you instead of nourishing you it is time to pull the plug. A tree doesn't waste time trying to bring back old leaves or salvage the ones that are about to wither. Neither should you!

3. Make Room For The New

New love. New Peace. New joy. But first, you have to clear the clutter. If you hands are full carrying the worries and disappointments of yesterday, how are you going to hold the beautiful things God is moving your way?

Step Into Your Bloom Season

My dear, God isn't just calling you to heal - He's calling you to flourish! That means stepping boldly into this new season, trusting that He is making a new way even when you cannot see it.
