Nah- This Doesn’t Work for Me
Before you push play on this song, I want to warn you that it can bring up different emotions. But don’t worry, this is a good thing. It means that they can come to the surface to be healed. There’s a musical component combined with the Spirit of Yah through the vocals that creates a safe space for you to rest and find relief. You can feel that you’ve been heard, that you’re not alone in this, and that this current state of being, living, doing, and feeling will not last forever.
The song is “Nah- This Doesn’t Work for Me”. It reflects the experiences of many women who feel stuck and hopeless in toxic relationships that are not arranged or ordained by the Father. I’ve had my own share of toxic relationships in the past. The put downs rolled down streets of stress in both directions, causing accidents, leaving emotions damaged and self-esteem needing repair. And I’ve been in relationships that were clearly not of Yah, point-blank-period. And though it wasn’t easy, with the Father’s guidance and map of love, I got to new healing pastures.
There comes a time in life when you realize that you’re not living your full potential. You’re not in an environment that encourages you to grow and be all that you can be. You may find yourself settling for toxic treatment for the sake of keeping the peace. But deep inside you know that it’s time to make some serious life changes. You’ve prayed, you’ve fasted, you’ve cried out to the Most High. And it’s been revealed to you that the relationship you’re in was not established by Yah. That can be devastating to face and heartbreaking. You can’t change the other person, but you can ask the Father to change you. And He will, with your participation of course.
As that ongoing inward work begins, and you become more loving, kind, patient, forgiving, understanding, respectful, and you start growing in the fruits of the spirit. As it says in Galatians 5:22-23 (TS2009):
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, trustworthiness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no Torah.
This improved posture doesn’t mean that you hunch over again or lay down like a doormat and take any form of abuse.
No one but YOU can make the choice whether to remain in toxic, unfulfilled, unloved environments or relationships. The solution is heading back toward Yah’s direction. And the path to freedom and healing is going to be unique and different for everyone. And that’s where seeking Yah for clarity and wisdom comes in. To know who to speak with for counsel and where to go for resources if indeed He does prompt you to start making a plan of transition.
Whenever I’ve faced related challenges, my desired change was a pen and piece of paper away. I began jotting down the future I desired to see, the person I knew I could be, and what it would look like to change my environment and be liberated to be me. I want you to be encouraged to know that you can taste that freedom even in your sadness and frustration. As you’re in a life change and transition, keep your stress down by reflecting on what NEW desires you’re writing down. Keep those notes close by. So when those limiting beliefs and words of doubt and criticism come driving by again, you can boldly say: I AM everything my Father said I can be!
The whole point of the song and now this letter to you is to inspire you to be the higher you and do whatever it takes to get yourself unshackled. You have great purpose in Yah. And for some of you, it’s time to tell these environments: “Nah - This Doesn’t Work for Me!” and begin planning your new future.
