I’m in awe.. I keep thinking of the little girl in the picture with her little teddy and Jesus was asking her to give it up while he was holding a bigger one behind His back. That picture has been stuck in my mind for a few years now. I cried out to God, He knew my needs, but there were things that I needed to get rid out of my life. Although I knew I needed to let go, I was holding on for dear life. God stopped giving me a choice and took it away. Of course I still tried every which way to hold on. But circumstances were no longer the same, and it didn’t make me happy. If anything it left me feeling empty. The time had come to let go. When I fully let go, after some time, I feel like God really started working in my life.. I can see my blessings so clearly. In front of them all stands a precocious 3 year old. I’ve been blessed with a new home, which will have new memories and a new start. I’m waiting for the husband that I know God can’t wait to share with me, when the time is right for both of us. But until then, I will continue to sing of His praises and how I feel redeemed.
But it started/continued with a faith journey that I didn’t even know I was on. God is amazing and can’t wait to see what else He has in store.
Lord, help me to let go of the things that are hindering my walk with You, and that are stopping me from the blessings that you are ready to give.
