Why do we have such a hard time letting go? we struggle with letting go of anything! good or bad! you know it is true... somethings like letting go of our Children, or a friend who is moving away. Well those types of things are almost understandable. we are selfish people who want what we want right? but other things are almost incomprehensible, like our bad habits that are killing us. The things that are hurting us or hurting others who we say we love. so many examples of this but lets take food for example. Food is designed by God to nourish and make strong our bodies. To keep us healthy and able to accomplish the things God has designed us to do. We however want to hold onto things even when they are slowly killing us.
This morning for the first time in quite a while, I woke up knowing one of my children was sleeping in their bedroom under my roof. I chose to walk softly leaving the stereo off and being careful with my movements in the kitchen to not awaken her this morning. What I wanted to do was burst through her door and jump on her bed and ask her to share her thoughts and fears with me as we snuggled under the covers like we did when she was a small child. Instead I found myself in my home office quietly contemplating all the things she is about to discover about this world. Even now hours later as she is awake and in the room next to me getting ready for her big trip I sit here wondering how to let go. I grew up singing the song "it's a small world after all" well this morning as I prepare to take her to the airport for her flight to London where she will rent a car and drive to Cambridge to pick up two friends and then start their European adventure just three 23 yr old girls alone in Europe, I have to tell you it dos not seem like a small world. It seems very large indeed.
Letting go is not easy... but a necessary part of growing up and growing stonger. We need to learn to let go of things. Things that are killing us and sometimes even those that when we let go, feel like they are!
Blessings my friends,
