Renewing my Mind

250-251: This post is a culmination of my weekend in Detroit and coming home on today. The weekend truly revealed that yet another door to my past was opened and closed. Even coming home today I wasn't able to sync my time with a cousin who I'm not seen in about 25 years until this past October. He took it as a negative that I was not able to meet up with him when his schedule changed. I took it as another door from my past was closing back and being sealed.

I refuse to own other folks stuff anymore in this Second ACT of my life and as well I refuse to dumb myself down so you fit. So this will serve as notice to all those folks who should have never been allowed into my life and who certainly don't belong now. I will no longer move out of my place in being who I am so you can be a part of my life or I can be a part of yours. If it don't fit...keep it moving period.

Even when people are part of your family it does not mean they are suppose to be actively in your life. We don't get to choose our family but we do get to chose our friends. My, my that will preach! And I chose to decide even if you're part of my extended family if you fit in my world. If you don't let's not make it personal but keep moving forward and nurturing and loving on those relationships that do belong to you.

This weekend gave me such new perspective on life and I was able to have transparent and open conversations with self. Self said, "renew your mind and walk in the fullness of everything that God has purposed for your life." Self said, "don't ever look back."

I love me and I love how I'm evolving. I can't wait to see the finished product. Tried by the fire and coming out Pure Gold. My life is totally surrendered unto God so that He can make me over until I please Him. Not man, only Him.
