Letting Go
It has been awhile since my last post…
, but contrary to what my Memomma might think…lack of posting on facebook and lack of blogging does not mean that something is wrong… 
The last three months or so have been a season of letting go…of a lot of things. Letting go of old ways of doing things, old habits, of the boundaries of my comfort zone, etc…
I had to let go of the dream of going on the Race with my cousin…and grieving a dream can be HARD…. But I had to…so I could take hold of a new dream, a new way, and a new season…a different season than what I had planned.
I've even been handed things by the Lord in this season that I've had to offer back to Him. I wasn't necessarily ready to let go… but no comfort was found until I did.
And I had to let go of knowing why…of wanting to know why…and even how in the world this is going to be good…
Because all He’s told me is to let go…and that’s it… and to trust Him
Just the other day, I had to watch a friend let go of something…that she LOVES…
Sometimes we have to let go of something so that God can work in it. If we’re still holding onto it, sometimes we prevent Him from holding it completely. And doing what He desires to do.
We live a world that says letting go means giving up…a world that says letting go means that you don’t care or you don’t love…
But God’s love through us sometimes is in the letting go
Because you trust God in that person…and trust God in that thing…and that situation
And you trust Him enough to let go of it
So, I don’t know if this is for you, but I’m learning to let go. We don’t have to let go and have nothing else to grab onto…that’s the best part. Sometimes you don’t realize how little you’re getting to cling to Him…until you’re able to grab Him with both hands…and you can’t do that until you let go…
