3 Signs God is telling you to move on

Relationships are a lot of work. We know that. And sometimes that awareness leads us to overwork in our romantic relationships. Suddenly, rather than leaning back, observing your partner, and listening to your intuition. We do more, and accept more, just so nobody can say we didn’t try.

But what happens when the signs are so clear, you can basically feel God himself tapping you on the shoulder saying "It’s okay. Time to move on."

Well, as hard as it is to write this, that just happened to me. My boyfriend and I broke up. And if you know my story, then you know this is the second time. It clearly feels like we have come to the end of the road and for the first time, I feel good about it. Because I can see the 3 signs God is telling me to move on.

1. A peace that surpasses my understanding

For some reason, this time around it’s different. Even though I didn’t plan for it to happen, I kind of wasn’t caught off-guard this time. So when we sat down and talked, I was very relaxed and confident. I didn’t feel betrayed or desperate. I didn’t feel the need to look for understanding, justification, or an apology. I actually felt at peace. A peace that really surpassed my understanding.

2. Single life doesn’t sound too bad

The second sign or feeling I have this time around that I believe is allowing me to move on much easier is that single life doesn’t sound too bad.

I am someone that truly believes that whenever you experience something you don’t want you actually get clearer on the things you do want for your life. There are things I’m more aware of that I need now that I did not know before. And I’m excited to honor that newfound knowledge in my single season and focus on them while dating.

3. It was just "a" relationship

This one might be hard to understand, but I’ve come to realize that most relationships are just one of many. And they were never supposed to be more. It’s our obsession with the idea of marriage that gives them more meaning. Suddenly, we look for all the signs that he is "The One" and things are meant to be. But sometimes they are not, and that’s just it. So, yea one way I am able to tell that God is giving me a green light to move on is because the relationship was just one of many.

Even though the above three steps might sound very "easy" and as if I don’t care about my 1-year relationship, I want to assure you it is not. Breakups are never easy and I did a lot of self-development on myself to get to this stage of my life.

However, I believe that these 3 signs God may be telling you to move on, can help you to feel better with your decision.
