You have to be willing to let go. Otherwise, you’ll get stuck.
My youngest son wanted to try the climbing wall at camp. When I was his age, I was shimmering up tress, poles, and about anything I could climb, so I didn’t thing twice about letting him.
Two feet into his climb, he started to worry. Once he started to worry, he stopped being willing to let go. Once he refused to let go, he was stuck.
After several attempts to get him to reach to the next hold, the instructor and I both realized that he couldn’t move forward until he was willing to let go.
Too often, I get stuck the same way. I hold on to things on the off chance that I might need them. Or I stay in a position (paid or volunteered) because I’m more worried about what might happen when I leave then I am about what my heart is telling me I need to be doing.
No matter what it is that we are hanging on to, it will keep us from taking flight – EVERY SINGLE TIME>

“Until you let go you aren’t free to move. – Kathryn Lang
Thought of the Day
Be Willing to Let Go
You can let it go. You never want to hold on so tight that you keep yourself from becoming all that you are designed to be.
You can let go. You never want to be so overloaded with the uns – you know, the unnecessary, unusable, unwanted, unneeded, or unappreciated, that you block the flow of the blessings.
You need to let it go. You never want the expectations of yesterday to keep you from the possibilities of your tomorrow.
You have to find your way – and your what – to let it go so that you free yourself up to fly into your BIG DREAM goals.
Think of three things you can let go of in your life – then make a plan to let them go.
If you love it, honor it by using it or displaying it (and yes, that includes your grandmother’s china or silver). If you don’t love it, find it a home where someone will.
However this looks for you, lean into ti. The more you release the lighter you will become and the easier it will be to fly.
Scripture Focus
“A man in right standing with God lives by faith. A man standing in faith is blessed and favored by God.” – from Galatians 3: 9 – 11
When God is the focus, Faith leads. It’s that simple. It won’t make sense most of the time. It will never make sense to the world. But when we keep walking in that God grown faith then will will reside in His blessings.
If you want to gain balance – or regain balance – then let it go.
Release the unnecessary.
Release the usable.
Release the unwanted.
Release the unneeded.
Release the unappreciated.
If you aren’t making the most of it then let it go to someone who will. What you will discover is the space left behind by the things you let go make room for the bigger and better blessings that are coming your way.
Don’t let the excess and overflow of stuff get in the way of your exceeding and abundant. Learn to let it go so that you can let it in.

You should never be rude to God. It seems like obvious advice since He is God, after all. And yet, I find myself making the choice to be rude to Him more times than I care to think. Just today, I chose to stay in bed even when I knew that God was waking me….
