The Journey

Letting Go

There has been much transition surrounding my life lately.  Interestingly enough, things that I have no control over.     When these times occur my first response is to sure up things.....to fix ....to save.....to rescue.....to defend.....to guard....... to help make the pain go away in myself or others. 

As I have journeyed though the passed 6 months I have come to conclusion.   These times of transition are fertile ground for the Lord to work His work in me.   He allows me to get tired trying to fix, hold on, guard etc.  When I come to the end of myself and realize that I can totally trust my heavenly Father, peace enters me like only He can give.  I rest.  I see things from heaven's perspective.  When all is said and done.....I can celebrate!!! 

I asked a friend the other day, "How is it possible to go from thinking something is the 'end of the world' to 'wow this could be a really good thing'.   It is only by loosening my grip and letting go.......trusting God and getting heaven's perspective. 


Here is an exerpt from Audrey Assad's song  Everything is Yours.  This song has become very meaningful to me over the past season.

When all the world is blossoming
When everything around is bursting into life
and I don't have to strain to hear the beat of your heart....

When all the world is under fire
When the skies are threatening to thunder and rain
and I am overcome by fears that I can't see......

If everything is yours
Everything is yours
If everything is yours
I can let it go, it was never mine to hold.
