Every morning as I peek out from under my covers to check if the sun is shining or not, I think about my God. I must admit I think about him a short time compared to the next person I think about...myself. Lately, well actually for quite a while, I've been reflecting on the 'art of letting go'. There are many ways to 'let go'. You can physically let go by not saying something critical or not going to check up on 'things'. I can let go emotionally my releasing my fears, anxieties, worries, anger, resentment and bitterness. I can let go mentally by replacing a good thought with a lingering bad thought. AND I can let go spiritually...trusting God's hand as he weaves the lives of those I love with His grace.
Today I chose to let go of bitterness, judgments, and a desire to be successful (meeting everyone else's approval with money and achievement). Tomorrow I will probably let go of it again. And the next day...until it is finally gone and I've formed new habits of trusting God more with my life, with the lives of my children and with our future. An inner freedom is a great desire of my heart. And then when you see me next time I hope I look like I'm flying!
