Let Go | Part 2

MORNING THOUGHTS ☕️: Yesterday’s post I shared on letting go triggered a memory for me. It was 2007. I can tell you the EXACT place I was driving…turning left about to pick Katherine up from school. I was talking to God…well, grumbling and complaining. I was bemoaningly telling him some of the things I thought I’d wanted and quite frankly, thought I deserved, that did not seem as though they were going to come to pass. There were quite a few things on my list. When I got done, this is what he said to me:

“If you’d LET GO of what you think you want and deserve, I could give you what you really want and need.”

I saw a picture of me holding on soooo tightly to ideals and images I believed. My knuckles were clenched so tight they were white. Listen…can’t nobody put no thing in a set of clenched hands.

You see…at this stage of my life and faith walk…I did NOT know who I was. I was acting like a petulant child instead of realizing I was a loved daughter of the One who knew every desire of my heart and had the best intentions for me.

It was THIS DAY that I began to unclench those fists and trust…just a little. Building trust takes time. Letting go of things WE have conjured up in our own minds takes time. BUT. This is the way. Only when we choose to let go can we really receive what he had in store for us all along.
