I'm up working late tonight and came across something in my readings that I thought I would leave here. It's found in Chapter 2 - "Striving for Home: Community, Collaboration and Sustainability," in Ted Bernard's (2010) Hope & Hard Times: Communities, Collaboration and Sustainability. Gabriola Island, BC, Canada: New Society Publishers. (www.newsociety.com)
Striving for home implies finding a community such as Athens with a resilient social structure and lots of social capital woven into the complex networks occupied by smart and caring people. These communities have the marking of a deep economy with locally owned businesses, organic farmers, farmers' markets, locavores, craftspeople, cyclists, and purveyors of slow food. They strive for environmental and social justice. there are ample "third places" (niether work nor home) to gather and celebrate. Such communities retain some of their natural and historically significant landscapes and folks have a few notions about their bio-region and what happens beyond the bounds of their place. Just as they invest in social capital by nurturing soils, waters, forests, steep slopes, and biodiversity. And the "wage" peaceable campaigns to save this sacred thing called community. As Moore writes in the epigraph for this chapter, community evolves in this "struggle for community."(Bernard, 32) |

LETTING GO
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 have a bad attitude.... ... 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!!! ~By Rev. T.D. Jakes
