day 7 (so weird, kind of freaky my sister just texted me this, WOW)...
part of growing up you slowly (not always) realize that you do not have control over things & often times when it hurts the most you must let go of something or someone...there is this great story about a little girl who buys a fake set of pearls with her own money...every night her father goes to see her before bed & asks if he can have the pearls...& the little girl would do anything for her daddy but not give up the pearls...it goes for several nights & each night the dad walks away...finally the little girl sees how distraught her father is and gives up her pearls...in place her dad hands over a real pearl necklace to his little girl -- sometimes we hold on to the fake stuff, & once we let go we realize something was waiting for us that was so much better...
...God tends to do that, most often He has something waiting for us, we just don't realize it b/c we are not willing to let it go...it is probably one of the hardest things for humans (i know for me especially) is letting go, i always think what if, but maybe the what if is the letting go...He has a plan & it will work out in the way it should be...my goal for this year is letting go, a good friend of mine, told me it was time to let stuff go & basically just be...so i was saying it in my head but maybe this is the time to actually listen & do...
so in the year of 30, to letting go & letting God...bring on the real s*#@!
Theme song for this post "let go" by Frou Frou. Look it up if you haven't heard it before... It's been inspiring me for over 8 years

ReplyDeletekate -- first never heard that song, i liked it a lot...however one question & it may be that i need to re-listen again...but is it saying that is better to let go b/c when you do there is something better when it breaks down...or are they saying jump right in b/c if you don't let go & jump in you will never see the beauty....
ReplyDeleteI think the song is more referring to the later of the two...let go and jump in or you will never see the beauty. Either way, they could be interpreted to be the same thing...let go of what you've got...jump into the current and experience what is to come.
