It's hard to learn to let go. I feel that there are several things in my life that I have been holding onto...tightly. I guess they give me hope. I can't live without hope. And I feel that if I give these things up, I'll loose the hope I have.

I don't know what to hope for anymore.

letting go is the hardest part. but don't think of it as something inside you dying. think of it as a part of you growing into a more beautiful person, like a caterpillar coming out of its cocoon. if he hung onto his nest forever, he would be a beautiful butterfly trapped in an ugly shell, and no one would ever see what a beautiful creature he was... they would just see something exotic stuck beneath a tangled mess ( ... )

Thanks for the encouragement, sis. I love you.

Letting Go! aunt_nene January 27 2006, 19:31:41 UTC

I feel for you! It is SO hard to let go of things that we feel give us hope. But if you feel the need to get rid of them, then it was probably false hope anyway. The only true hope we have is our relationship with God and giving Him the reigns to it all is the key. It's not a one-time thing, it has to be done every time He shows us what we are holding onto tighter than we are to Him. I will be praying for you, Sweetie. (Maybe a night of Cranium Turbo would help, huh?)

Mom rocks!

Thanks for your prayers. I really do need to be putting God first and trust Him with my life. Thanks for the encouragement and I'd love to come play Cranium Turbo some night. :-)

Let's plan a night of games and dinner. What is your schedule? Alyssa is probably free when you're free, huh? A Friday or Saturday night would be the best for me. I'll probably invite Heidi and Brian and the brothers too.

Let's talk about this on Saturday...

Okay, are you still planning on coming to the Bible Study tomorrow afternoon?

snowwhitetan January 28 2006, 04:10:19 UTC

Yeah, I'll be there. It's at 10:00 at Coffee Time, or was it Coffee People?

That was me who posted that. Oops;-)
