What to Write?

I'd like to say that a horrible case of writer's block has kept me from posting. But I'd be lying. In fact, I'm suffering from the opposite problem: writer's abundance. I have so many things I want to say, to write about, to try to work through, that just beginning to get them all down is too daunting. So I'm taking a deep breath and starting with just one ...

Letting Go and Letting God

I have heard this saying for my whole life (probably). But it's only in the past year or so that I've realized that this isn't a one-time act of faith. At least, it's not for me. No, I have this worry habit ... I give things that are worrying me to God, and then I take them right back, mull over them, test the sore spots, roll them around until they've acquired the weight and heft of mountains and feel entirely too heavy to do much of anything with besides shoulder them and carry on. 

It's exhausting! And as I get accustomed to my new life, I've realized that I just don't have the time or energy to waste on so much worry. So I'm trying to give it to God. I'm well aware that He is infinitely more capable of addressing my worries than I am, and yet I find myself giving him the same worries over and over and over again. 

I'd like to say that I have a pretty ending to this post, that I've found the trick to always giving over to God the things that only He can heal, but I haven't. But I am coming to terms with the realization that, for me, letting go and letting God is a day-to-day (and sometimes, a minute-by-minute!) way of life. 

P.S. Have you noticed that I like hand pictures? Yeah, me too! :)
