Yes, "Moving On" Means "Letting Go," Too....
Here's an email forwarded (and also to others) to me by my friend Dixon Lao (he's an artist, too, and I have some paintings of him in my collection back in the Philippines). Yes, "moving on" is also "letting go" as you have to definitely take steps, even baby steps, just to start the process of "moving on" (which this blogsite espouses). Reading this, you'll get reminded on having the Lord take the lead in your life to focus on the "now," a situation, a position that is most difficult to dwell or focus on, given our notions, internal issues, our unforgiving nature (particularly to ourselves!), our hurt feelings, and other what-have-yous. I deleted portions where you'd see email addresses of certain people (whom I don't know personally), except that of Dixon's. As implied, it's got a didactic approach, and a religious bent in it. Yet it somehow helps interested readers with inputs on "letting go." And, what's more, it even tells you to forward it to your other friends---but I chose to post it here as a blog.
Read and feel free to feedback, for whatever it's worth to you.

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!!

'The Battle is the Lord's!'
During the next 60 seconds, Stop whatever you are doing, and take this opportunity.
(Literally it is only ONE minute!)
All you have to do is the following:
You simply say 'The Lords Prayer' for the person that sent you this message:
The Lords Prayer
Our Father, who are in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name, Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day, our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Glory, forever.
Amen.
Next, send this message to everyone you know. In a while, more people will have prayed for you and you would have obtained a lot of people praying for others!
Next, stop and think and appreciate God's power in your life, for doing what you know is pleasing to Him.
'Yes, I love my God. He is my fountain of Life and My Savior.
He Keeps me going day and night. Without Him, I am no one. But with Him, I can do everything, Christ is my strength.' This is a simple test.
If you love God and you are not ashamed of all the great things that He has done for you, send this to everyone you know.
God loves you and watches over you everyday
