– Those are lyrics to a song by Christina that I used to listen to growing up. I found my old Ipod while being on the race in one of my bags. I turned on this song and it reminded me of some emotions that I have been feeling lately. So I think this song is a little race appropriate.
We all feel like it's people who have to release us because we are lazy, feel hopeless or do not know what to do. We idolize and seek people's approval in ways it may seem we are being "released". Yet the only person who over look because it's easy is God. Sometimes he puts us in a "bottle" to wait. We feel trapped and want out. He is doing that for our own protection. We are no satisfied so that is when we seek out others. If we burst out of the "bottle" and God is not ready nor has prepared us for this release; then it may cause a disaster or mistrust. I am sure you can agree with me.
We all struggle with things everyday. There are things you and I need to surrender to God. We may feel in our mind we are ready but in out heart the answer is no. I know that times on this race I have seen so much release from people surrendering things to God. I want to do the same and experience release everyday Although it's not everyday I have been able to release many things with God working through me such as relationships and some things in my past. I wanted to 'release' out of my "bottle" quicker than God wanted me to. I listened and waiting patiently by I wandered what kind of a mess I would be if I released things on my own without God? My team would have had some definite feedback for me.
As I know you can agree with me, when our minds get fixed on something that we want to do now and as soon as possible our minds run 90 mph. Our minds are a powerful tool and sometimes dangerous. God wants us to wait. There is a time and a place for everything. He took me on 6 months of the race before he released things out of me. It took me that long to fully surrender my life to him.
