So the past couple of months I have been having problems letting go. Letting go of things that I feel I have earned, I worked for, things I felt that I deserved! And the lord has really been pressing on my heart over these past few months just what it is he wants me to let go, things I REALLY did not want to let go of, first of which was tools. Now im sure that sounds crazy, but that’s something a mechanic prides himself on is his set of tools. Well after about a week of trying to ignore God on the subject, I finally broke down and did one of those “ok God, what do Ya want me to do?” prayers, and im not going to lie, I didn’t even spend a lot of time on that subject with him, but sure enough within a week, a friend at work asked if I wanted to sell him one of my tool boxes. Well as much as it hurt, I had to let it go.
The next thing that the Lord laid on my heart to give up just happened to be my truck! I was really not ok with this, I mean this was the truck I had since high school, I drove that truck half way across the country and back, I had a lot of seat time in it, and my bond with it was strong, it’s a good truck! (I promise im not crazy, I just really like my truck). After about a month of praying about it, I decide I need to stop riding the fence, and give all of me to what it is God is going to do. Now I just had to figure out how to sell the vehicle I drive every day. Well God defiantly solved that problem for me! Last Friday I wake up early because I had a coupon for a free breakfast meal from sonic (Im always pumped about free food!)I get ready for work, walk outside and I find my truck isn’t in the driveway, well im still pretty tired so im like “maybe I parked in front of the house” so I walk around, and its not there. I just start laughing, because once I realized my truck had been stolen, I knew my question on how to sell it had been answered! As funny as I thought all that was, nobody in my family thought it was as funny as I thought haha!
In everything that’s been going on the past couple of months, I have realized that I can give up everything I have to gain everything he is, or hold on to the things I have acquired in this world and limit the power of the holy spirit to work in my life and through me!
Take it all Lord!!
