Letting go.

Ever since I have been at college, I have been dealing with the issue of letting things go. Whether it has been relationships, grudges, or my past in general. It has taken a while, but I'm finally realizing what is best for my life. Today at church the speaker said something that really just touched my heart. It was something that I needed to hear, to reassure that I am making the right decisions by letting things go. It was "life is the sum total of the choices we make." We can choose waking with Jesus or walking with the world. For a while I had been choosing walking with the world, because it was just so much easier to do. I thought of every way possible to deal with my problems instead of going to God. Last night I hit rock bottom in a relationship, which has only happen to me once before, and that very moment all I thought was God. Before all I though was things of the world. I know its time to let go of the old, and start with the new. I believe being at MC and being at the new church I am at, has really helped me grow and be able to let go. I've always known that God would be there to catch me when I fall, but now I not only know... I can feel it.

Also moving on to a brighter subject.. I am so ready for next semester! I am really excited about some of my new classes! This past week I decided I was going to double major in French and Psychology. I am not sure what I will do with my french, but I'm hoping that God will be able to use me and french. I just can't want to see all the adventures and ups and downs my life will take!

Wow, I really needed to hear-or read- this today. I really like that quote that your preacher said.

I know what you mean by struggling to let things go. It's not always easy to do, especially when dealing with the past. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the subject.
